    Abstract

    Placenta praevia is associated with increased maternal and foetal mortality and morbidity. Aim: This study aimed to analyse demographic factors, maternal and foetal outcome in placenta praevia. Methods: This was a retrospective observational study conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in our Government General Hospital from November 2019 to October 2021. Results: The incidence of placenta praevia was 1.37% with majority (37.5%) of patients in age group of 25 to 29 years, 40.6% were gravida-2. Previous history of caesarean was noted in 92 cases (35.93%). Twenty eight patients (10.93%) required caesarean hysterectomy. Seven (2.7%) maternal deaths occurred and ninety six (37.5%) babies born required NICU admission. Conclusion: Placenta praevia is associated with adverse maternal and foetal outcome necessitating delivery in a tertiary care hospital with availability of blood bank and NICU for better outcome
