Evaluation of Pregnancy Outcomes about Placenta Previa Location

Background: Placenta previa is a serious obstetric issue that can harm mother and child. This study examined placenta previa location on pregnancy outcomes. Methods: About 100 pregnant women with placenta previa participated in a prospective observational study at Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital from December 2023 to April 2024. Placental location—anterior, posterior, or lateral—determined maternal and fetal outcomes. Results: Patients with anterior placenta previa had a greater incidence of antepartum hemorrhage (60%), caesarean births (80%), and lower mean birth weights (2.5 kg) than those with posterior (40%, 50%, and 2.9 kg) and lateral (30%, 40%, and 3.1 kg). NICU hospitalizations (30% anterior) and poorer Apgar scores were more common in the anterior group. Conclusion: Antecedent placenta previa enhanced maternal and foetal risks, according to the study. These findings emphasize the need for placenta previa-specific monitoring and management.
