Abstract
In a retrospective analysis over the 6 yr period, Jan. 1973-Dec., 1978, the incidence of placenta previa in cases with previous cesarean section (CS) was 3.9% as compared to an overall incidence of 1.9% (P < 0.01). The risk of placenta previa was greater in the pregnancy immediately following the cesarean section. The incidence of a morbidly adherent placenta was also significantly higher in these cases.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
