ABSTRACT
To identify the risk factors responsible for abruptio placentae and to suggest measures for its prevention. Case Control Analytical [observational] study. Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Unit-I, Bahawal Victoria Hospital, Bahawalpur. Fifty cases of abruptio placentae were selected from emergency department of Bahawal Victoria Hospital Bahawalpur on the basis of history, clinical examination and ultrasonography. Five risk factors [age, parity, hypertension, previous history of abruption and pre mature rupture of membranes] were included in this study. Fifty controls for each risk factor were selected after matching. The condition was more prevalent among women of older age [70%], grand multipara [62%], hypertensives [52%], prior abruption [24%] and patients with pre mature rupture of membranes [06%]. It was concluded that the complications due to these risk factors are preventable if they are identified in time in order to modify behaviors pre-conceptionally or during delivery
