HERNANDEZ CABRERA, Jesús. Placenta previa: Incidence, some considerations and its repercussion on perinatal and maternal morbimortality, 1995-1996. Rev Cubana Obstet Ginecol [online]. 1998, vol.24, n.2, pp. 92-97. ISSN 1561-3062.

Placenta previa one of the frequent gestorrhagias in the second half of pregnancy led to conduct a study of the patients admitted in the "Julio Alfonso Medina" Gynecoobstetric Teaching Hospital of Matanzas from 1995 to 1996 with placenta previa diagnosed by clinical diagnostic and auxiliary methods. The sample was composed of 6 398 deliveries, 20 of which were classified as placenta previa for an incidence of 0.31 %. The percentage method was used and statistical tables were made that allowed to study variables of interest that showed those ages with better fertility conditions, the groups at higher risk after the second delivery, as well as the previous abortions and cesarean sections. There was a predominance of cesarian section in preterm gestation and of low fetal weight. Apgar score neither influenced on nor participated in perinatal mortality. It was a propitious ground for maternal morbidity, but not for mortality.
