Association between placenta previa and previous Caesarean section &/or abortion
Keywords:
placenta previa, caesarean section, abortion, placenta previaAbstract
The present study was conducted to find the association between placenta previa and previous cesarean section. It was a prospective longitudinal study conducted in NRS Medical College and Hospital from May 2009 to April 2010. The study population had 100 women who had a previous cesarean section or abortion, and the control group consisted of 100 patients with no previous caesarean section/abortion. They were followed up and the incidence of placenta previa was noted in both the groups. The incidence of placenta previa was significantly increased in patients with the previous caesarean section but not in patients with previous abortion. The present study concluded that the incidence of placenta previa increases in patients with previous caesarean section.
