Article Synopsis
- The study looked at women with major placenta previa who had many cesarean deliveries (C-sections) to see if they had more health problems.
- Researchers compared two groups: one with 2-3 C-sections and another with 4-7 C-sections.
- They found that women with more C-sections had a lot more complications, like serious bleeding and needing extra surgeries.
Objectives: To compare maternal characteristics and outcomes among patients having major placenta previa (PP) with and without previous cesarean section (CS). And to determine if previous CS alone is a risk factor for associated adverse maternal outcomes in these patients.
Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective analysis including two groups of major PP patients, with previous CS (n = 184) and without CS (n = 115); who were admitted to Abha Maternity and Children's Hospital over the last ten-years (January 2012-December 2021), Aseer region, Saudi Arabia.
Objectives: To determine the incidence, risk factors, and maternal outcomes of "major degree" placenta previa (PP)/placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) in Abha Maternity and Children's Hospital, Abha, Saudi Arabia. Secondly, to compare our findings to those of previous studies on PP/PAS in Saudi Arabia.
Methods: This is a retrospective study that included 299 patients diagnosed with major degree PP/PAS and admitted to Abha Maternity and Children's Hospital, Abha, Saudi Arabia, within 10 years (January 2012-December 2021).
Background: Antenatal assessment of maternal risk factors and imaging evaluation can help in diagnosis and treatment of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) in major placenta previa (PP). Recent evidence suggests that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could complement ultrasonography (US) in the PAS diagnosis.
Objectives: Evaluate the incidence, risk factors, and maternal morbidity related to the MRI diagnosis of PAS in major PP.
