Comparison of obstetric, neonatal, and surgical outcomes of emergency and planned deliveries in pregnancies complicated by placenta previa and in subgroups with and without placenta accreta spectrum

Planned cesarean section leads to better obstetric, neonatal, and surgical outcomes compared with emergency cesarean section in pregnancies complicated by PP, especially in those with PAS. Our findings suggest that planned delivery strategies should be considered for patients with PP. Decisions regarding the timing of delivery should balance maternal risks and benefits with fetal and fetal risks and benefits.
