Pathological placenta analysis predicts pregnancy outcomes, aids subsequent pregnancies, and illuminates the pathophysiology of poor initial pregnancy outcomes. The main aim of this study was to assess the histomorphometry variations of the placenta and its correlation with birth outcome among preeclamptic and normotensive mothers attending the labor ward, at Arba Minch General Hospital Southern Ethiopia from October to December 2023.
