BACKGROUND Placenta previa refers to the location of placenta that overlies or is proximate to the internal os of the cervix. It is a major cause of third trimester bleeding. It is a major cause of obstetric and perinatal morbidity and mortality. MATERIALS AND METHODS Present study is a Descriptive Study of 107 cases of placenta previa, which were admitted at our institute during the time from 1 st July 2015 to 30 th June 2017. RESULTS Incidence of placenta previa in this study is 107/17, 472 (0.61%). In the present study, almost 92% of cases are below the age of 35 years. Data analysis shows multiparity (85%), previous caesarean section (47.7%) and history of abortion followed by D and E (14.9%) as aetiological factors for placenta previa. 94.4% of patients were delivered by caesarean section. Total perinatal mortality was 15/107 (8 IUD and 7 expired). 7 patients required obstetric hysterectomy. CONCLUSION In the present study advancing maternal age, multiparity, prior caesarean section and prior abortions were found to have significant association with placenta previa. With early availability of blood transfusion, better surgical facility, anaesthetist and liberal use of caesarean section have reduced maternal morbidity and mortality.
