Ectopic pregnancy, its potential links to dementia risk and interactions with depression: insights from a nationwide cohort study
An EP history is linked to an earlier onset and a higher risk of overall dementia, VaD in particular, in a dose dependent manner, regardless of surgical intervention and stroke. Post-ectopic depression exacerbates dementia risk, while antidepressants offer partial protection. These findings underscore the potential benefit of screening and treating depression in women following EPs.
