Study of Maternal and Foetal outcome in Abruptio Placentae Introduction: Abruptio placentae (AP) is a significant obstetrical emergency and as per WHO 2009 maternal mortality rates reported due to AP worldwide was 2.1% and fetal perinatal mortality rate was 15%. AP cannot be prevented but maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality due to AP can be reduced significantly by aggressive management.   Methods: The present prospective study was conducted to evaluate the outcome of treatment on the perinatal and maternal outcome in Abruptio Placentae patients in a tertiary care hospital from January 2015 to January 2016 amongst 54 pregnant women diagnosed to have abruptio placentae from 28 weeks of gestation and above and all babies delivered. Face-to-face interviews was conducted. Results: Maximum no. of abruptio placentae were unbooked - 37 (69%) and 85% of patients belonged to the less than 30 years of age group. An abruptio placenta was more common in multipara. Anaemia was seen in 21 patients (38%). Anaemia and PIH was seen in 12 patients (23%). 7 patients had fetal distress at the time of admission (13%). Regarding mode of delivery, 50% of patients delivered vaginally by artificial rupture of membrane (ARM) and oxytocin augmentation and 50% underwent caesarean section. Conclusion:  It was concluded that abruptio placentae is still a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality that can be reduced with modern management of abruptio placentae, but timely diagnosis and intervention is necessary. Key Words: Abruptio placentae, maternal mortality, fetal distress, anaemia
