Background: The site of implantation and location of placenta can affect the blood supply of placenta which is likely important determinant of placental blood flow and pregnancy outcome.Methods: In our study 240 pregnant women of 19-35 years, singleton ≥28 weeks underwent ultrasound examination for placental localization.Results: Majority of pregnant women were from 21-25 years age, multigravida and placental location in majority was lateral. Adverse events were PROM, preeclampsia/ eclampsia, IUGR, preterm birth was noted with lateral location of placenta.Conclusions: A significant association was noted between lateral placentation of placenta and adverse fetomaternal outcome. Ultrasound examination can be used as non-invasive predictor of adverse pregnancy and neonatal outcomes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
