Agree. And those 1% are most often found in prenatal care, not in an emergency.

Where does that information come from? My understanding is that the woman often doesn’t know she’s pregnant until there’s a painful crisis, so why would she be seeking prenatal care? From that same Wiki link:

Detection of ectopic pregnancy in early gestation has been achieved mainly due to enhanced diagnostic capability. Despite all these notable successes in diagnostics and detection techniques ectopic pregnancy remains a source of serious maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide, especially in countries with poor prenatal care.
