# Ultra-sonographic and clinical evaluation of ectopic pregnancy among Indian women

## TL;DR

This study evaluates how well ultrasound and clinical exams diagnose ectopic pregnancy in Indian women.

## Contribution

The study provides insights into the effectiveness of ultrasound and clinical evaluation for ectopic pregnancy diagnosis in a specific population.

## Key findings

- Ultrasonography identified hemo-peritoneum in 78.5% of cases.
- Clinical evaluation detected abdominal tenderness in 86.0% of cases.
- Some patients faced post-surgical complications like infection.

## Abstract

The prevalence of ectopic pregnancy and the risk of mortality from ectopic pregnancy have decreased by 90% in recent years. Therefore,
it is of interest to evaluate the use of ultra-sonography and clinical evaluation in diagnosing ectopic pregnancy. Hence, 93 patients
were assessed using ultrasonography and clinical aspects. Data shows that majority of patients showed hemo-peritoneum with 73 cases
(78.5%) using ultrasonography and abdominal tenderness with 80 cases (86.0%) using clinical evaluation. However, a few patients
experienced post-surgical complications like infection.
