Objective To estimate the level of interobserver agreement in the calculation of placenta accreta index (PAI) as well as to evaluate the accuracy of PAI in prediction of morbidly adherent placenta. Materials and methods This was a prospective study where 45 pregnant women (from 28 to 37 weeks of gestational age) with at least one previous Caesarean section and ultrasound-proven placenta previa were included. A known and previously published scoring system, the PAI, was evaluated independently by two radiologists and the cases were followed for the delivery and histopathology outcome. The accuracy of the PAI and the level of interrater agreement was analysed using cross-table analysis, intraclass correlation efficient and Cohen’s kappa as statistical variables. Results Adherent placenta was found in 15 patients accounting for 33% of cases. The PAI showed nearly 90% sensitivity, specificity and the predictive values. Interrater agreement in calculation of PAI by the two radiologists was perfect with an intraclass correlation efficient of 0.959. An easy-to-use morbid adherent placenta score was also predicted to simplify the results of PAI, which showed moderate agreement (κ = 0.746). Conclusions The PAI can be helpful in stratifying the individual risk of placental invasion above the baseline risk. The PAI-derived, simplified scoring system called morbid adherent placenta score can be used as a simple tool to interpret and convey the results of PAI.

Adherent placenta is one of the important causes of post- partum hemorrhage. Placenta accreta-related pathologies are an increasing contributor to maternal death from hemorrhage. With the rising caesarean delivery rate the incidence of placenta accreta has significantly increased. Morbidly adherent placenta (MAP) occurs when there is a defect in the decidua basalis, resulting in an abnormal invasion of the placenta into the substance of the uterus. A multidisciplinary approach is relevant in managing these patients in order to reduce morbidity and mortality associated with morbidly adherent placenta. A non-surgical conservative method is to leave the placenta in situ to reabsorb and institute treatment with chemotherapeutic agents, such as methotrexate. With improvement in the medical services conservative management for adherent placenta has gained significance.

Background: morbidly adherent placenta has an increasing incidence over decades. The purpose of this study is to identify risk factors and etiology of placenta previa- accreta and percreta.Methods: A cross sectional observational study of patients with morbidly adherent placenta previa including placenta accreta and placenta percreta were studied over a period of three years from June 2017 to June 2019 in a tertiary care centre, Mumbai.Results: Cases showed a higher incidence in patients with previous cesarean delivery (CS), grandmultiparity, abortions without the history of check curettage and anterior/central placentae.Conclusions: History of uterine surgeries and previous cesarean are some important risk factors for accreta in placenta previa patients.

Abstract Background Placenta accreta is a potentially life-threatening obstetric condition that requires a multidisciplinary approach to management. The incidence of placenta accreta has increased and seems to parallel the increasing cesarean delivery rate. Women at greatest risk of placenta accreta are those who have myometrial damage caused by a previous cesarean delivery with either an anterior or posterior placenta previa overlying the uterine scar. Diagnosis of placenta accreta before delivery allows multidisciplinary planning in an attempt to minimize potential maternal or neonatal morbidity and mortality. Aim of the Work To compare between alpha-fetoproteine as biological marker & ultrasound & Doppler findings for prenatal predication of morbid adherent placentation in anterior placenta on scar of previous cesarean section. Patients and Methods The current study is a prospective cohort study, conducted at a tertiary center: Ain Shams University Maternity Hospital during the period between February 2018 and April 2019,where 150 pregnant women having placenta previa covering scar of previous uterine surgery had been recruited from the outpatient obstetrics clinic or emergency room and admitted to antepartum inpatient high risk service, but 50 patients were dropped out due to loss in follow up because of emergency antepartum haemorrhage & C.S., others escaped follow up. Results The results of the current study showed a significant association between all criteria of the 3DPD with multislice view and presence of placental adherence, need for added surgical steps, CS hysterectomy and bladder injury with sensitivity 83% & specificity 57%, PPV 76%, NPV 66%. Conclusion The current study suggests that AFP assay, it isn't good test alone as regards its sensitivity &specificity &its level of accuracy 55% as compared to 2D &3D power doppler with multislice view, so it is unreliable test alone for antenatal diagnosis of morbidly adherent placenta.
