Results: This study included 3,003 women with ectopic pregnancy and 97,194 women without ectopic pregnancy.

Women aged 36–40 (OR=1.12) and 41–45 years (OR=1.46) were at a higher risk of ectopic pregnancy than women aged 31–35 years. Prior ectopic pregnancy was strongly associated with a risk of recurring ectopic pregnancy (OR=8.17).
