A retrospective study investigating all cases given a diagnosis of placenta praevia at the Birmingham Women's Hospital Trust, January 1993 to June 1997, was undertaken to investigate any neonatal sex or weight differences compared with the general singleton pregnancies. Mothers with placenta praevia were at increased risk of preterm delivery, fetal malpresentation and having a caesarean section as the mode of delivery. No differences were found in the fetal sex ratio or incidence of small for gestational age (SGA) infants and indeed male infants overall were larger for dates in the placenta praevia group when compared with their gestational equivalents in the control population. Although ultrasound assessment of pregnancies complicated by placenta praevia may be useful in checking the resolution of the condition by 'placental migration', there is no indication for its use in monitoring growth restriction.

Is it possible to predict severe postpartum hemorrhage and the need for massive transfusion in placenta previa cases?
Ginekol Pol
March 2025
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Okan University School of Medicine, Istanbul, Türkiye.
Objectives: The aim was to construct a reliable working model for patients with placenta previa (PP) that aids in the prediction of postpartum bleeding potential with data from antenatal imaging studies using both ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Material And Methods: Forty-three patients with PP were evaluated initially with the US and then by 3-Tesla MRI. The Placenta Accreata Index (PAI) was used during the US evaluation in order to define the risks.

Introduction: Obstetric hemorrhage is one of the leading causes of maternal mortality and morbidity worldwide. One of the major risk factors of obstetric hemorrhage include placenta previa and placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorders. The frequency of PAS disorders is increasing worldwide and is accompanied by massive intraoperative bleeding with hemorrhagic shock and increasing rates of cesarean hysterectomy.

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Nippon Medical School Hospital.
Background: The purpose of this study was to determine whether cases of placenta previa and low-lying placenta previa in patients with retroverted uterus are significantly associated with endometriosis.
Methods: Participants were patients who underwent cesarean section at our hospital with a diagnosis of placenta previa or low-lying placenta previa within a 7-year period from January 2015 to December 2022. Of these, patients with multiple pregnancies and those without a complete uterine image in the medical record at less than 12 weeks' gestation were excluded.

Objective: In animal models, internal iliac artery occlusion caused gestational hypertension; however, whether this phenomena occurs in humans is still unknown.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective cohort study used data from the Birth Certificate Application of Taiwan and linked to the National Health Insurance Research Database and Taiwan Maternal and Child Health Database from 2008 to 2017. Women who underwent internal iliac artery occlusion before pregnant were identified according to diagnosis and procedure codes.

NYU Langone Health, VA New York Harbor Health Care System, New York City, NY, USA.
Background: Limited literature exists on labor and delivery outcomes after bariatric surgery. This study assesses the impact of prior bariatric surgery on peripartum outcomes.
Methods: We queried the National Inpatient Sample (2016-2020) for labor and delivery admissions, categorizing them into three cohorts: prior bariatric surgery (BaS), obesity without prior bariatric surgery, and controls without obesity.
