Abstract :

Aim: analysis of maternal and fetal outcome in pregnancy complicated with placenta previa and to evaluate the potential risk factors Methods: 50 pregnancies with placenta previa during a 2 years study period (2014–2016) were analyzed. The total number of deliveries during the study period was 4759. The data on the potential risk factors compiled; the information on the maternal and neonatal outcome was subjected to appropriate statistical analysis and following deductions provided Result: The incidence of placenta previa was 1.8%. Factors significantly associated with development of placenta previa were advanced maternal age, number of previous cesarean section, number of previous abortions and multiparity The complications seen most commonly in the neonatal outcome was prematurity at birth (42.85%) followed by RDS (28.5%) and aspiration (14.2%). 48% of the babies required resuscitation, out of which 24% required further NICU admission. The neonatal mortality calculated was 280/ 1000 live births. Conclusion: Inspite of 24 hours emergency services being available, and ear1y diagnosis being at hand, lots more is required to ing down the maternal morbidity and neonatal mortality and morbidity to international standard for us to do justice to the patients.
