The risks associated with placenta previa underscore the necessity for comprehensive treatment and timely intervention to mitigate adverse outcomes. Purpose - to conduct a retrospective analysis of the impact of obstetric-gynecological factors on the prediction of placenta previa occurrence and its influence on perinatal outcomes. Materials and methods. A retrospective cohort study was conducted on cases of placenta previa between 2018 and 2022.

The following variables were evaluated for all patients: maternal age, characteristics of the menstrual cycle, gravidity, parity, history of cesarean sections, gestational age at delivery, method of delivery, blood loss during delivery, length of postpartum hospitalization, birth weight, gender of the newborn, Apgar scores at 1 and 5 minutes.
