We aimed to find out the prevalence of abruptio placenta in the hospital population and compare the fetal outcome with different grades of placental abruption. Student t test was applied to assess the degree of significance. P value &lt; 0.05 was considered as significant. Complications observed were intrauterine death (IUD), Intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR), Prematurity and fetal anemia. Placental abruption accounted for 2% of hospital obstetrical population. Adverse fetal outcome was observed with Grade 3-4 abruption as compared to abruption of Grade 0-1. Statistically significant numbers of fetuses had no complication with Grade 0-1 abruption and were delivered in good condition (table-1). We concluded that a more aggressive approach is required to manage abruption of Grade 3-4 and observational strategy should be considered for Grade 0-1.</p> ER -
