Background: Placenta Previa (PP) is defined as placenta that lies wholly or partly within the lower uterine segment. It is associated with significant maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality because of unanticipated blood loss and is of the most acute lifethreatening emergency in obstetrics. Objective: Feto-maternal outcome in cases of placenta previa in a teaching hospital. Material and Methods: This was a retrospective observational study conducted in Dr S N Medical College, Jodhpur, Rajasthan over a period of one year from June 2018 to May 2019. There were a total of 9557 deliveries during this period and 76 patients were placenta previa. Results: There were a total of 9557 deliveries during this period and 76 patients were placenta previa. Incidence of placenta previa was 0.8%. In our study 41 cases were found in the age group of 26-30 years (53.95%) and 23 cases were found in the age group of 20-25 years (30.26%)and placenta previa was found in 36 cases (47.1%) in >gravid...
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.

BACKGROUND: Placenta previa, the most catastrophic complication not only poses a risk to the fetus but also endangers the mother's life. AIM:To find the incidence of placenta previa in patients with previous caesarean section and to study the maternal outcome. METHODS: A hospital based prospective study carried out in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of Gauhati Medical College and Hospital, Guwahati, Assam from 1st June 2018 to 31st May 2019. During this period, 2100 patients with history of previous caesarean section were identified and 66 patients were found to have placenta previa. RESULTS:The incidence of placenta previa was found to be 3.14%. The incidence increases with increase in number of caesarean section. Maximum patients were unbooked from rural area within the age group of 26-30 years. Outcome was studied by need of blood transfusion in 87.7%, postpartum haemorrhage in 19.6%, adherent placenta previa in 10.7%, hysterectomy in 15.1%, Internal iliac artery...
Introduction: Placenta previa (PP) is an important cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality worldwide but there is not much data from the developing countries about maternal and fetal outcome 1. Aim: To determine the incidence and maternal and fetal outcomes among women with placenta previa (PP). Material and Methods: This is a prospective observational study carried out at Sri Ramachandra Medical College, Sri Ramachandra University Porur, Chennai, in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology between July 1 st 2012 to July 31 st 2014. Results: Total number of patients delivered during this period were 8694 and out of which 174 patients were diagnosed with placenta previa, so the incidence is 2%. Of women with placenta previa, 3.44%(n=6) had placenta accreta. Incidence of placenta previa was the highest in the maternal age group 20-29 years i.e. 72.9%, Perinatal morbidity was studied as the percentage of babies requiring resuscitation and NICU admission which was 37.35 %(n=65). Caesarean hysterectomy was performed in 1.14% (n=2) cases, there were 1.72 %(n=3) perinatal deaths.

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.
