Abstract
Objectives
To assess the clinical value of ultrasound criteria for the “Morbidly Adherent Placenta” (MAP) and the diagnostic accuracy of a customized “pro forma” in predicting MAP, its extent, and its relationship to intra-operative results.
Methods
Twenty-one pregnant women with a high possibility of placenta accreta were included in the study. Gray scale transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasound with color Doppler were done to confirm the MAP diagnosis and evaluate the signs of placental invasion. The ultrasound findings were compared with the operative details to predict placental invasion (focal or diffuse) and vascularity of the lower uterine segment to assess the clinical significance of the customized “pro forma.”
Results
There was a good accuracy of ultrasound signs to detect the vascularity of the lower uterine segment with a sensitivity of 94.12%, specificity of 25%, positive predictive value (PPV) of 84.21%, negative predictive value (NPV) of 50%, and accuracy of 80.95%; however, it was insignificant (p = 0.352). Additionally, we found a good accuracy of ultrasound signs to detect the degree of placental invasion (focal or diffuse), with a sensitivity of 71.43%, specificity of 100%, PPV of 100%, NPV of 63.64%, and accuracy of 80.95%, which was significant (p = 0.004).
Conclusion
This customized “pro forma” has satisfactory accuracy in predicting MAP cases with anterior placenta previa or anterior low-lying placenta.
