The association between endometrial thickness and ectopic pregnancy among women who underwent in vitro fertilization, systematic review and meta-analysis

Key Points

• This study aims to evaluate the relationship between endometrial thickness and ectopic pregnancy in women who underwent in vitro fertilization (IVF).
• Systematic review of literature from PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science.
• Pooled odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were calculated.
• Focus on observational data regarding endometrial thickness and ectopic pregnancy outcomes.
• Thinner endometrial thickness is associated with a significantly increased risk of ectopic pregnancy (p<0.001).
• The findings highlight potential confounding factors and the need for caution in clinical interpretation of the results.
