Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Gynaecology - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: Second trimester scan is one of the reliable marker for the placental localisation and overall health of the growing fetus. Our aim was to study the association between the location of placenta and the future pregnancy outcome. Material and Methods: It is a prospective cross-sectional longitudinal study on 75 antenatal patients with history of previous caesarian section done in Dr. D. Y. Patil Medical college, Hospital and Research Centre, Kolhapur. Result: Of the 75 patients studied, the mean age and standard deviation was 26.01 ± 3.22 years. Among the study group, 21.34% had anterior placenta, 22.67% had posterior placenta, 12.00% had fundal placenta, 25.34% had lateral placenta and 18.65% had low lying placenta. Lateral placenta was most commonly associated with pre-eclampsia(57.9%) and low lying placenta with malpresentation (42.87%). Anterior, posterior and fundal placentae had higher incidence of IUGR (18.75%, 29.40% and 22.22% respectively). By Chi square test, it is observed that there is significant association in placenta location and pregnancy outcome.(p<0.0004**). Conclusion: This study suggests that there is significant association of placental location with pregnancy outcome, which can be determined by routine ultrasonography.
