Women who were hospitalized for ectopic pregnancy in five hospitals in King County, Washington, were interviewed concerning history of induced abortion. For comparison, women who delivered a live-born child during this same time period were also interviewed. Relative to women who had never undergone an abortion, the risk in those who had was increased to a modest degree, but this increase could well have been the result of chance (relative risk, 1.4; 95% confidence interval, 0.7 to 2.6). For women who had two or more abortions, the relative risk was 1.8 (95% confidence interval, 0.5 to 7.1). Our results suggest that legal abortion as performed during the past decade in the United States does not carry a large excess risk for future ectopic pregnancy, but larger studies will be needed in order to determine more precisely the magnitude of any excess that does exist.
