Abstract
The rate of ectopic pregnancy in New Zealand from 1965 to 1983 was examined and shown to have increased 3-fold from 4.3 per 103 total births in 1965 to 13.6 per 103 total births in 1983. Over this period this risk was greatest for the older conceiving woman, with a woman aged 35-44 years 2.2 times more likely to experience an ectopic pregnancy than a woman aged 15-24 years.Keywords
