Abstract: Identifying those cases of placenta Previa at high risk for preterm delivery would aid in counselling as well as delivery planning. Our objective was to identify risk factors for preterm delivery and placenta Previa. We searched PubMed, and MEDLINE for studies published up to August 2018, for all studies discussing preterm delivery and placenta Previa. Placenta previa refers to a placenta that overlies or is proximate to the internal os of the cervix and occurs in about 1 in 250 pregnancies. Although placenta previa classically presents as painless vaginal bleeding in the second or third trimester, the inclusion of routine second trimester ultrasound evaluation in standard prenatal care has led to more frequent identification of placenta previa in asymptomatic women. In the majority of cases the mechanism of such bleeding is unclear. Some investigators hypothesize that FTB may indicate an underlying placental dysfunction, manifesting later in pregnancy with adverse perinatal outcome.
