Incidence, obstetric risk factors and pregnancy outcome of preterm placental abruption: a retrospective analysis

Abstract

Preterm placental abruption is an unpredictable severe complication associated with significant perinatal morbidity and mortality. Factors found to be independently associated with placental abruption were grandmultiparity, severe pregnancy-induced hypertension, malpresentation, earlier gestational age and a history of second-trimester vaginal bleeding.
