RESULTS
In total, 76 cases were recruited in the framework
of this study. The age distribution showed that 26 women
(34.0%) were between 26-30 years old, 23 (30.0%) between
36-40 years old, 17 (22.4%) between 31-35, and 10
(13.0%) cases between 21-25 years old.
The incidence of placenta previa was higher in patients
with prior C-sections. We found that 50 women
(66.0%) had a history of previous C-sections. The percentage
with one prior C-section was 46.0% (23 cases) and
54.0% (27 cases) with two or more prior C-sections. Of
all these patients, six (8.0%) cases developed placenta percreta,
seven (9.0%) were transferred to the intensive care
unit (ICU), 14 (18.0%) women needed blood transfusions,
and eight (11.0%) underwent a hysterectomy (Figure 1). As far as the offspring was concerned, the data suggested
a slightly greater female to male ratio (51.0/49.0%)
in the general population between 2010 and 2016. In our
study, the male to female ratio was significantly higher in
placenta previa cases. We reported 50 males (66.0%) out
of 76 live births.
According to the results of the present study, a woman
gave birth to three children and placenta previa was observed
in all cases. Moreover, three out of six women with
placenta percreta were related to each other.
