A lot of literatures have been done to study the risk factors associated with its development. Therefore, assessment of the recent literatures must be done to provide a summarized paper analyzing the various risk factors that stands behind placenta previa development, which will help in prevention and control the increasing in the incidence of the condition. Objective: This study aimed to assess the various studies that investigate the risk factors that stand behind the development of placenta previa, and provide a reference paper analyzing the last progression has been reached. Methods: PubMed database was used for articles selection, and the following keys used in the mesh ("Placenta Previa/etiology"[Mesh] OR "Placenta Previa/genetics"[Mesh] OR "Placenta Previa/history"[Mesh]). A total of 582 articles were found, with further restriction by PubMed filters, and reviewing the articles titles and abstracts, the final results were 6 articles. Conclusion: Further studies are still needed to be done to evaluate the modifiable risk factors, and to find a solution for the increase in the number of cesarean because it have a significant impact on placenta previa development.
