Screening of the literature and data extraction:
Three independent reviewers screened the literature (AM, MS and SP). A data extraction spreadsheet was developed and agreed between authors. The selected studies were comprehensively examined and relevant data were extracted from each paper and inputted by the first author (AM) and crosschecked by the authors MS and SP. Any disagreement was resolved by the senior author FO. TP contacted all corresponding authors or hospitals to enquire about the existence of EPU structure or any specific guideline for management of ectopic pregnancy during the pandemic peak wave.
