Abstract: Objective To discuss whether abnormal placental location influences the incidence of gestational hypertension-preeclampsia.Methods A retrospective research was performed on the pregnant women with abnormal placental location (study group = 813 cases) and the normal ones (control group = 813 cases) from Jan.2010 to Dec.2012.Compare the incidence of gestational hypertension-preeclampsia,placental adherence and fetal growth restriction (FGR)between the two groups.Results 1.There was a statistical difference in the incidence of gestational hypertension-preeclampsia between the study group and the control group (4.4% vs.8.1%,P<0.05).The incidence of gestational hypertension-preeclampsia of placenta previa was lower than that of low-lying placenta (AOR 0.36,95%CI 0.15~0.86) ,while both of them were entirely lower than that of the control group (2.8% vs.8.1%,5.1% vs.8.1%,P<0.05).2.Compared to the control group,the low-lying placenta reduced the risk of gestational hypertension (AOR 0.5,95%CI 0.3~0.9) and so did the placenta previa (AOR 0.27,95%CI 0.09~0.83).3.Compared to the control group,the placenta previa decreased the risk of preeclampsia by 87% (AOR 0.13,95%CI 0.04~0.48) but the incidence of preeclampsia didnf changed significantly in low-lying placenta (2.8% vs.3.7%,P>0.05).The incidence of preeclampsia in the placenta previa was even lower than that in low-lying placenta (AOR 0.25,95%CI 0.07~0.89).4.Those with placental adherence manifest a lower incidence of gestational hypertension-preeclampsia than those without placental adhesions,but the difference was no statistical significance (4.1% vs.4.5%,P>0.05).5.There was no significant difference on the incidence of fetal growth restriction.Conclusion Abnormal placental location,especially placenta previa,may decrease the incidence of gestational hypertension-preeclampsia.
