P-value &lt; 0.05 was consider statistically significant.\r\nResults: There were 26,407 deliveries during the study period out of which 166 were placenta previa; a prevalence of 0.6%. Most of the patients, 84.8% (95\/112) were unbooked. The majority 50.9% (57\/112) had blood loss \u2265 1000 ml and 30.4% (34\/112) foetuses were of low birth weight. Low birthweight, hypotension, anaemia, unbooked status, vaginal delivery, and EBL \u2265 1000 mls were found to be significantly associated with foetal death.\r\nConclusions: Poor foetal outcome was associated with Unbooked status, anaemia, vaginal delivery, EBL of \u2265 1000 mls, hypotension and duration of hospital stay \u2265 7 days in patients with placenta previa in our environment.\r\nKeywords: Foetal outcome; placenta praevia; poor outcome; UMTH.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4314\/ahs.v24i2.25","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,18]],"date-time":"2024-07-18T09:59:01Z","timestamp":1721296741000},"page":"218-224","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A 10 year retrospective review of factors associated with poor foetal outcome in patients with placenta praevia at the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital, Nigeria"],"prefix":"10.4314","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Ado","family":"D Geidam","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hassan","family":"H Abubakar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2895","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,11]]},"container-title":["African Health Sciences"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ajol.info\/index.php\/ahs\/article\/download\/273601\/258303","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ajol.info\/index.php\/ahs\/article\/download\/273601\/258303","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,18]],"date-time":"2024-07-18T09:59:41Z","timestamp":1721296781000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ajol.info\/index.php\/ahs\/article\/view\/273601"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,11]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,11]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4314\/ahs.v24i2.25","relation":{},"ISSN":["1729-0503","1680-6905"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1729-0503","type":"electronic"},{"value":"1680-6905","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,11]]}}}
