Prognosis for Ectopic Pregnancy
Ectopic pregnancy is fatal to the fetus, but if treatment occurs before rupture, maternal death is rare. In the United States in 2018, the mortality rate due to ectopic pregnancies was 0.8 deaths per 100,0000 live births ( Prognosis reference ). 1.Hoyert DL, Miniño AM: Maternal mortality in the United States.
