All studies in which, the ectopic pregnancy prevalence in Iranian obstetrical clients and infertile patients treated by assisted reproductive technologies were reported, included and reviewed. Data of studies were extracted into a standard data sheet.

The overall prevalence of ectopic pregnancy in obstetrical units of the hospitals and assisted reproductive technologies patients was 2.9 (95% CI: 2.1, 3.7) and 53 (95% CI: 20.4, 85.6) per 1000 clients, respectively.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>There is limited evidence on the ectopic pregnancy prevalence in Iranian obstetrical clients and assisted reproductive technologies patients.
