FOR THE RECORD

Dr. Paul Donohue incorrectly used the term "placenta previa" for "abruptio placentae" in last Friday's column in the Extra section. The conditions are different. Placenta previa is the condition where the placenta is improperly implanted in the lower uterus. In abruptio placentae, which was described in the item in question, the placenta prematurely separates from the uterus.
