Objective: To determine the frequency and distribution of placenta Previa in expectant mothers and examine the relationship between placenta Previa and age, gravidity, gestational age, and uterine scar status.
Methodology: The sample's mean gravidity was 3.1 ± 1.1 and its mean age was 31.9 ± 5.4 years. Two age groups of participants were established: those aged 22 to 30 and those aged over 30 to 40. The mean gestational age was 37.3 ± 2.8 weeks, with a range of 32 to 42 weeks. The women were divided into two groups based on the presence of uterine scars: those with unscarred uterus and those with scarred uterus. Placenta Previa was found to be common, and an analysis was conducted to determine how it related to the other variables. Tables with the data were used for presentation, and p-values were used for statistical analysis to assess significance.
Result: The sample's mean age was 31.9 + 5.4 years, as was also its standard deviation. The gravidity was 3.1 + 1.1 on average. The sample's mean gestational age was 37.3 + 2.8 weeks. Of the ladies, 70.4% had an unscarred uterus, and 29.6% had scars. In 17.4% of cases, placenta Previa was noted.
Conclusion: placenta Previa is rather frequent and has a strong correlation with uterine scarring. More research is advised, especially analytical studies with bigger sample sizes to find additional risk factors for placenta Previa and RCTs to find ways to lessen the impact of these previas or manage their unfavorable effects.
