Sex ratio and placenta praevia
1Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Toldy Ferenc Hospital, Cegléd, Hungary.
In the authors' Department, 144 cases of placenta praevia were treated in the course of 15 years. This number amounted to 0.54% of all births. The sex ratio of fetuses in association with this complication was 166.6, which exceeds that of all neonates during the same period of time. A preponderance of male babies was noted when the material was further analysed according to maternal age, parity and neonatal birth weight.
