Data analysis was carried out using bivariate analysis with Chi Square & Fisher Exact Test and multivariate analysis with Logistic Regression Test.Results: There were correlation between history of ectopic pregnancy (p = 0,034), history of abortion (p = 0,002), and infertility (p = 0,009) with ectopic pregnancy. Other variables didn’t have significant relationship with ectopic pregnancy (p>0,05). Two risk factors were identified for ectopic pregnancy: history of abortion (p = 0,001; aOR = 3,516; 95% CI 1,632 – 7,577) and infertility (p = 0,005; aOR = 2,913; 95% CI 1,387 – 6,119).Conclusion: There were correlation between history of ectopic pregnancy, history of abortion, and infertility with ectopic pregnancy, while other variables were not related to ectopic pregnancy.
