Mathematic modeling to predict abruptio placentae
Article Abstract:
Researchers have developed a mathematical model that may predict which pregnant women will develop abruptio placentae. In a review of 170,258 births, 31 risk factors for abruptio placentae were discovered. Abruptio placentae occurs when the placenta detaches from the uterus prematurely.
