Description
Summary:Data had been collected for demographic and maternal variables, placenta previa, history of previous lower segment caesarean section (LSCS), complications associated with placenta previa and techniques used to control blood loss were recorded. Predisposing factors for MAP are previous uterine damage due to prior uterine surgery leading to scarred uterus as in caesarean section, myomectomy, uterine perforation, advanced maternal age, short inter pregnancy interval, placenta previa, and sub mucous myoma. MATERIAL AND METHODS This retrospective comparative study was conducted, from March 2014 till March 2016 in the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at PNS Shifa hospital Karachi with a sample size of 6879 inducted through non probability convenient sampling technique. According to different studies, it has been seen that the development of placenta previa is associated with previous caesarean sections with a frequency of 3%-10%.
