Recurrent placenta previa.
Among a group of 33 135 women who delivered at Beilinson Medical Center, Israel, during the years 1968 to 1978, recurrent placenta previa occurred in 3.2% of the women, i.e., 6 times higher than the incidence of placenta previa in the general population (0.5%). Analysis of the data revealed that women over 36 yr of age with a history of placenta previa are at risk for recurrent placenta previa. Maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality were similar in cases of single and recurrent placenta previa.
