Abstract:Objective To study the maternal and infant outcomes and related risk factors associated with perinicious placenta previa.Methods By using retrospective cohort method, the information of 200 scarred uterus pregnant women with placenta previa from October 2019 to October 2020 in the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics of the University-Town Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, the Women and Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University were collected. The maternal baseline characteristics, postoperative and perinatal outcomes were compared. The risk factors of pernicious placenta previa in scar uterus repregnancy were analyzed by binary logistic regression.Results In the analyse of the previous pregnancy, the proportion of emergency cesarean section in the non-pernicious placenta previa group was much higher than that in the pernicious placenta previa group (P <0.05). While no significant differences were found in age of delivery, gestational week of delivery, intrauterine operations, 24 hour blood loss, blood transfusion, postpartum hemorrhage, premature delivery, neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission, neonatal asphyxia rate and neonatal weight between two groups (P <0.05). In present pregnancy, the delivery pregnancy week of pernicious placenta previa group was significantly shorter than the non-pernicious placenta previa group (P <0.05). In addition, the number of pregnancies and intrauterine operations as well as the incidence of prenatal bleeding, 24-hour blood loss, blood transfusion, postpartum bleeding, placenta implantation, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), hysterectomy, NICU occupancy were all significantly higher than the non-pernicious placenta previa group (P <0.05). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that increased number of intrauterine operations [O^R = 1.446 (95% CI: 1.132, 1.851)] and the previous elective cesarean section [O^R = 4.481 (95% CI: 1.758, 11.412)] are risk factors for developing pernicious placenta previa.Conclusion The increased number of previous intrauterine procedures and direct elective cesarean section are the risk factors for the pernicious placenta previa.
