OBJECTIVE
The prevalence of
placenta previa has been
recently estimated to be
approximately 0,5% of all
pregnancies.

OBJECTIVE
Moreover, placenta
previa is associated
with preterm delivery,
with
the
neonatal
mortality
increasing
threefold as a result of
prematurity.

METHODS
We retrospectively analyzed the medical records
of 162 women with pregnancies presenting placenta
previa.
Patients were categorized into complete or
incomplete placenta previa according to the type of
placenta previa, and they were assigned to anterior
and posterior groups according to Placental location.

CLASIFICATION OF
PLACENTA PREVIA

RESULTS
Table : Perinatal outcomes in complete and incomplete placenta previa.

RESULTS
Table : Comparison between perinatal outcomes in the anterior and the posterior
groups.

CONCLUSION

Obstetricians should be aware of the high risk of

preterm delivery for antepartum hemorrhage in
women with complete placenta previa, particularly
when the placenta is located on the anterior uterine
wall. Conversely, women with incomplete placenta
previa are at relatively low risk of preterm delivery.
