Persistence of Placenta Previa in Twin Gestations Based on Gestational Age at Sonographic Detection

Abstract: The likelihood of placenta previa persistence in twins is dependent on the gestational age at sonographic detection. Only at earlier gestations does the type of previa affect its persistence. As gestational age advances, the likelihood of resolution of placenta previa diminishes regardless of the type noted.

“…Other factors increasing risk of placenta previa like infertility treatment, found in 4 patients and twin gestation found in 3 patients in this study were comparable to findings in similar studies. 10,11 In this study the placenta was low lying in 17.6% patients, true placenta previa in 79.3% and placenta accreta was found in 8 patients similar to findings of Sarojini et al with 60.4% having major placenta previa. 6 A total 93% cases underwent cesarean delivery, main indication being major degree placenta previa and results are comparable to the study conducted by Sarojini et al where 85.8% underwent caesarean section.…”

“…Among those with placenta praevia diagnosed in the second trimester the majority of cases resolve by 32 weeks of gestation. 29,47 After 32 weeks of gestation around 50% of the remaining placenta praevia will resolve, with no further changes after 36 weeks of gestation. 29 Evidence level 3…”

“…In twin pregnancies, the likelihood of persistence of placenta praevia is also dependent on the gestational age at sonographic detection. Among those with placenta praevia diagnosed in the second trimester the majority of cases resolve by 32 weeks of gestation [29,47]. After 32 weeks of gestation around 50% of the remaining placenta praevia will resolve, with no further changes after 36 weeks of gestation [29].…”
