Results: The most frequent age in the study is around 28 +/- 6 years, while risk factors such as smoking were found 17%, intrauterine devices 22.65, pelvic inflammatory disease 18.5% and previous uterine scar 73.3%. Conclusions: According to the results obtained, the risk factor that predisposes most to develop an ectopic pregnancy is the presence of a previous uterine scar, followed by the use of intrauterine devices and pelvic inflammatory disease.
