Background: Placenta previa is one of the major causes for obstetric hemorrhagic morbidity and mortality with increasing incidence in recent times. This study aims at determining risk factors, maternal and fetal outcome associated with placenta previa.Methods: This was an observational, retrospective study conducted at a tertiary care hospital in Mumbai from May 2017 to March 2020. A total of 102 women with placenta previa during the study period were included, their case records critically analyzed to identify risk factors, maternal outcome in relation with blood transfusion required, ICU admission, obstetric hysterectomy and fetal outcome pertaining to prematurity, asphyxia and mortality.Results: A total of 102 patients were analyzed. Placenta previa was more common in >26 years of age, multipara (64.7%), with previous history of caesarean sections (21.5%) and previous curettage (11.7%), 44.2% babies born were preterm, 4.4% stillbirths and 8.5% neonatal deaths. Maternal complic...
Background: Incidence of placenta previa is 3-5per 1000 pregnancies. Placenta previa includes: (i) Low lying placenta i.e. when the lower edge of placenta is within 20mm distance from internal os. (ii) Placenta previa i.e. when placenta lies directly over the internal os. Objectives: The objective of the study was to determine the incidence, obstetric risk factors, obstetric management, maternal complications including mortality and fetal outcome in patients presenting with placenta previa. Methodology: A retrospective study was conducted over a period of 1 year in the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, tertiary health care centre at King George Hospital, Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. A total of 73 women with placenta previa were enrolled in this study with inclusion and exclusion criteria. A necessary information regarding history, clinical examination, investigations, maternal and fetal outcome were noted from existing medical records and were analysed. Results: About 0.9% of the deliveries were complicated with placenta previa among which 12.3% of women with >30years, 76.7% of women were multigravida, 32.9% of women with prior csections, 27.4% of women had prior abortions, 52% of women had major degree of placenta previa, 57.8% of women had preterm deliveries,100% of women delivered by caesarean delivery, 34.2% of women had PPH, 9.5% of cases had caesarean hysterectomy, 5.5% of cases had placenta accreta spectrum, 19% of cases had ICU admissions with 4% mortality and 34% of babies had ICU admissions. 31.5% had perinatal mortality. Conclusion: Placenta previa is one of the life threatening complication of pregnancy and its incidence is rising probably parallel to the rise in abortions and csections, about 60% of cases with placenta previa had prior surgical procedures. Meticulous management of placenta previa is important in order to reduce the untoward maternal and fetal complications.
To study the maternal and perinatal outcomes in patients suffering from placenta previa
International Journal of Clinical Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 2021
Background: Placenta previa is a disorder which occurs during pregnancy that is characterized by the presence of placental tissue close to or covering the cervix increasing the risk of antepartum, intrapartum and postpartum hemorrhage. Rapid significant loss of intravascular volume can lead to hemodynamic instability, decreased oxygen delivery, decreased tissue perfusion, cellular hypoxia, organ damage and death. Infants born to such patients are also at risk of premature deliveries and increased perinatal mortality. Method: This prospective randomized clinical study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Muzaffarnagar Medical College, Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh the period 2018-2020 after considering the inclusion and exclusion criterias. Result: Primigravida were more affected than multigravia. Majority patients underwent Emergency LSCS than Elective one. PPH, Pre-operative and Post-operative anaemia and Adherent placenta was significantly more among Emergency LSCS. NICU admission was significantly more among Emergency LSCS. Conclusion: The current study suggested that there is an association between advancing age, previous caesarean section and abortion as the risk factors for placenta previa. Placenta previa as noted from the study was seen to be associated with increased risk of maternal complications like PPH and neonatal complications including prematurity and low birth weight.
Risk factors and pregnancy outcome in different types of placenta previa
Journal of obstetrics and gynaecology Canada : JOGC = Journal d'obstétrique et gynécologie du Canada : JOGC, 2009
To compare risk factors and pregnancy outcome between different types of placenta previa (PP). We conducted a retrospective study of 306 women presenting with PP over a 10-year period from January 1996 to December 2005. Differences between women with major and minor PP regarding age, parity, history of Caesarean section, antepartum hemorrhage, preterm deliveries, placenta accreta, Caesarean hysterectomy, operative complications, and neonatal outcome were identified using Mann-Whitney U test, chi-square test, and multivariate logistic regression. The overall incidence of PP was 0.73%. Major PP (complete or partial PP) occurred in 173 women (56.5%) and minor PP (marginal PP or low-lying placenta) in 133 women (43.5%). There were no differences between women with major and minor PP regarding age, parity, and previous miscarriages. After controlling for confounding factors, women with major PP showed a significantly higher incidence of antepartum hemorrhage (OR 3.18; 95% CI 1.58-6.4, P ...
An Overview on Diagnosis & Management of Placenta Previa
World Journal of Environmental Biosciences, 2021
Placenta previa is defined as low placental implantation that covers the internal os of the cervix; either completely or partially. The condition sometimes is discovered incidentally in routine antenatal care screening, while some present with frank second or third trimester painless vaginal bleeding. The rate of placenta previa in Saudi Arabia is 4.1 per 1000 births, where all are managed by caesarian delivery. We aimed to review the literature looking for the updated placenta previa in terms of risk factors, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management. PubMed database was used for articles selection, gathered papers had undergone a thorough review. The complexity of placenta previa manifests in optimizing the outcome of both the mother and the baby. Early detection of the problem results in better outcomes due to wellplanned management and anticipation. The medical team should always involve the mother in the possible negative outcome and consider the possible complications as placenta previa sometimes coexist with other placental implantation abnormalities such as increta and precreta.
A Study On maternal and Perinatal Outcome in Placenta Previa
The aim of the present study is to find out the demographic profile, maternal and perinatal outcome of patients with placenta previa. It is a prospective study done at Government General Hospital, Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh during the period of July 2013 to June 2014. 61 Antenatal women with more than 28weeks of gestational age with a complaint of painless vaginal bleeding or those diagnosed as having placenta previa on routine ultrasound examination were included in this study and were evaluated with comprehensive maternal history, clinical, laboratory and ultrasound examination and demographic profile, type of placenta previa on ultrasound examination, impact of previous method of delivery and present method of delivery, maternal and perinatal complications, incidence of postpartum haemorrhage and the need of blood transfusion were noted. Total number of deliveries during this period is 10,299. The incidence of placenta previa was 0.6%. Unbooked cases (77.04%),Mean age of presentation was 29yrs. Multigravidae (65.57%), (52.45%) presented between 28-34weeks gestational age, APH(65.57%), malpresentations (18.03%), women with previous history of surgical intervention (60%), postpartum haemorrhage (27.87%), need for blood transfusion (80.32%). Perinatalmortality (6.6%) and NICU admissions (24.56%), TAH (3.27%), maternal mortality was nil. Early diagnosis of placenta previa and timely intervention with arrangement of blood transfusion, and a good anesthetic, surgical and pediatric team improves maternal and perinatal outcome.
