Pregnancy Outcomes for Women With Placenta Previa in Relation to the Number of Prior Cesarean Deliveries.

The article estimates the relationship between the number of prior cesarean deliveries and pregnancy outcomes among women with placenta previa. Results reveal that multiple measures of maternal morbidity, such as coagulopathy, hysterectomy, and pulmonary edema, increased in frequency as the number of prior cesarean deliveries increased. Gestational age at delivery and negative perinatal outcome were not related to the number of prior cesarean deliveries.
