The objective of this study was to evaluate a novel ultrasonographic scoring system for the diagnosis of PAS and the prediction of maternal and neonatal outcomes. In this retrospective study, 138 patients with at least one previous caesarean section (CS) and placenta previa were included. They were divided into four groups ranging from Group 0 (Non PAS) to Group 3 (Placenta Percreta) according to the histological or surgical confirmation. Their ultrasound examinations during pregnancy were reviewed according to the nine different ultrasound signs reported by the European Working Group on Abnormally Invasive Placenta. For each parameter, 0 to 2 points were assigned. The sum of the points reflects the severity of PAS with a maximum score of 20. The scoring system revealed good performances in evaluation metrics, with an overall accuracy of 94%. In addition to this, patients’ characteristics and surgical and neonatal outcomes were analyzed with an evidence of higher incidence of complications in severe forms. Our study suggests that antenatal ultrasonographic diagnosis of PAS is feasible with sufficient level of accuracy. This will be important in identifying high-risk patients and implementing preventive strategy. |
