Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 11
Abstract
Abstract: This study was conducted with the aim to find out the maternal outcome in placenta praevia cases. 100 women, complicated with placenta praevia with or without antepartum haemorrhage, beyond 28 weeks of gestation were randomly selected for the study. The incidence of placenta praevia was 1.62% in this study. Overall 46% of the cases were booked and 54% unbooked. Majority of cases were of 24 to 30 years. Maternal outcomes in terms of socioeconomic status, multiparity, previous obstetrics performance, antepartum hemorrhage, gestational age, mode of delivery, duration of hospital stay, amount of blood transfusion, intra operative and post-operative complications, type of placenta etc. were studied and their rationality were explained. Early diagnosis, proper antenatal care, counseling, regular follow up, patient education can reduce maternal mortality/morbidity up to a significant extent. Keywords:maternal mortality, maternal morbidity, incidence of placenta praevia
