Comparison between neonatal outcome in cases of placenta previa with and without PA at 37 to <38 weeks (n=40)

Variable	Without PA (n=25)	With PA (n=15)	Significance test	P-value
Gestational age (mean ± SD)	37.1±0.21	37.1±0.21	t=1.52	0.820
Birth weight (mean ± SD)	2.6±0.35	2.7±0.25*	t=0.97	0.634
1-minute Apgar score
(Mean ± SD)	7±1.32	7.5±0.75	t=1.24	0.065
AS <7	3 (12%)	1 (6.7%)	Fisher’s exact test	1.000
5-minute Apgar
(Mean ± SD)	9±0.78	9.3±0.51	t=1.33	0.042
AS <7	0 (0%)	0 (0%)
SGA	3 (12%)	1 (6.7%)	Fisher’s exact test	1.000
IUFD	0	1	Fisher’s exact test	0.375

Note:

^*Only 14 patients, one patient presented with IUFD.

Abbreviations: AS, Apgar score; SGA, small for gestational age; IUFD, intrauterine fetal death; PA, placenta accreta; SD, standard deviation.
