Abstract

Abdominal pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy with very high maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. A high index of suspicion is crucial for prompt diagnosis and management especially in low-resource countries. A 32-year-old gravida III para II Amhara woman presented with shortness of breath and progressive abdominal distension and pain. An emergency laparotomy was performed with the impression of abdominal pregnancy. Intraoperatively, the fetus was seen in an intact amniotic sac in her abdomen, her uterus was ruptured at the fundus and the placenta was extensively adhered to the edge of the ruptured site. The patient and neonate progressed well and were discharged. Term abdominal pregnancy is an extremely rare diagnosis and requires a high index of suspicion. The life-threatening complication is bleeding from the detached placental site. A thorough examination of the newborn is important to rule out congenital anomalies.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 8. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 24 December 2021.
All research outputs
#4,359,124
of 24,619,469 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Medical Case Reports
#350
of 4,348 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#51,222
of 268,406 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Medical Case Reports
#7
of 41 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,619,469 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 82nd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,348 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.0. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 91% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 268,406 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 80% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 41 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% of its contemporaries.
