Trends and recurrence of placenta praevia: a population-based study.

We determined recent trends and recurrence rates of placenta praevia in 790,366 deliveries in NSW. From 2001 to 2009, the rate of placenta praevia increased by 26%, from 0. 69% to 0. 87% (trend P < 0.001). The placenta praevia recurrence rate in a second birth was 4.8%. Two-thirds of the increase in placenta praevia was accounted for by trends in known risk factors, and the unexplained portion ...
