The purpose of this Clinical Consensus document is to offer guidance on a transformative approach to the provision of prenatal care in three key areas: 1) addressing unmet social needs, 2) frequency of prenatal visits and monitoring, and 3) incorporation of telemedicine and alternative care modalities. Implementing a sustainable paradigm shift in a century-old care-delivery approach will take time; however, this document will guide maternity care professionals and their teams in the use of new prenatal care delivery models.","PeriodicalId":19483,"journal":{"name":"Obstetrics and gynecology","volume":"38 1","pages":"565-577"},"PeriodicalIF":7.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143849565","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is important that health care teams acknowledge their inherent biases and offer and facilitate access to appropriate care, including recommended screening tests.

All patients who delivered by cesarean were included. Maternal demographics and morbidities, including rates of PAS, placenta previa, transfusion, and hysterectomy, were compared according to the increasing number of cesarean deliveries. The effect of low-lying placenta or placenta previa and their respective locations were also analyzed. Odds ratios were calculated for risk of PAS and hysterectomy on the basis of number of cesarean deliveries and the placental location in the lower uterine segment.RESULTSA total of 44,608 cesarean deliveries were performed. With increasing number of cesarean deliveries, patients were older (33.3±5.3 years), were more frequently Black, and had a lower median gestational age at the time of delivery (38 weeks, interquartile range 37-39 weeks, all P<.001). With increasing cesarean deliveries, rates of PAS (0.03% vs 0.3% vs 0.8% vs 1.7% vs 2.8%, P<.001), hysterectomy (0.5% vs 0.5% vs 1.2% vs 2.6% vs 4.2%, P<.001), and blood transfusion and total operative time increased. Rates of anterior placenta previas (0.35% vs 0.29% vs 0.49% vs 0.89% vs 1.09%, P<.001) and low-lying placentas (0.09% vs 0.06% vs 0.12% vs 0.28% vs 0.44%, P<.001) also increased. The rate of PAS in the setting of placenta previa and low-lying placenta increased with increasing cesarean deliveries, at 2.22%, 28.9%, 62.5%, 64.9%, and 43.8% (P<.001) and 0%, 10.3%, 15.4%, 17.6%, and 33.3% (P=.001). Odds ratios for PAS were significantly higher with increasing cesarean deliveries and anterior placenta previa or anterior low-lying placenta.CONCLUSIONMorbidity increases with increasing number of successive cesarean deliveries, likely secondary to increasing rates of abnormal placentation, PAS, and worsening adhesive disease. Placental location in the context of low-lying placenta or placenta previa is important in determining PAS risk, especially in cases with an anterior component.","PeriodicalId":19483,"journal":{"name":"Obstetrics and gynecology","volume":"108 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143849551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Abdmoinopelvic packing, a surgical technique in which the bowel is protected with a plastic drape before the peritoneal cavity is pressure-packed with laparotomy sponges and, finally, adhesive tape and sump drains are used to create negative pressure in the packed space, can be a lifesaving tool in the management of coagulopathy in the setting of catastrophic hemorrhage.

Because the Cochrane Library included all the identified clinical trials, it was unnecessary to search ClinicalTrials.gov. The search strategy included the terms \"placenta accreta\" or \"placenta accreta spectrum\" and \"pregnancy outcomes\" and related key words about local resection and cesarean hysterectomy.METHODS OF STUDY SELECTIONWith the use of established inclusion criteria, 4,889 studies were reviewed. The included studies evaluated surgical and maternal outcomes associated with immediate hysterectomy compared with local resection.TABULATION, INTEGRATION, AND RESULTSData extraction was conducted with the Patient/Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome, and Study design framework. Both fixed-effects and random-effects models were used to synthesize the findings. A total of 11 studies published between 2018 and 2024 were analyzed (nine retrospective studies, one randomized controlled trial, and one prospective cohort study). The quality of the included studies was globally low, and 7 of 11 studies had severe bias. The immediate hysterectomy group had a significantly higher prevalence of placenta percreta compared with the local resection group (69.4% vs 44.3%, P<.01). In contrast to immediate hysterectomy, local resection yielded improved surgical outcomes, demonstrated by the following metrics: transfusion rate (six studies, 375 vs 205 patients, odds ratio [OR] 0.47, 95% CI, 0.29-0.75), estimated blood loss (seven studies, 416 vs 246 patients, mean difference -396 mL, 95% CI, -534 to -257), urologic complications (seven studies, 408 vs 241 patients, OR 0.18, 95% CI, 0.10-0.33), and intensive care unit admission (three studies, 87 vs 79 patients, OR 0.19, 95% CI, 0.07-0.53). One study recorded three maternal deaths: two in the immediate hysterectomy group and one in the local resection group. The results of subgroup analyses focused on patients with severe forms of placenta accreta spectrum (placenta increta and percreta) were similar in the overall analysis.CONCLUSIONIn this systematic review and meta-analysis, eligible studies comparing the local resection with immediate hysterectomy at cesarean hysterectomy for placenta accreta spectrum were overall low quality because of the lack of intention-to-treat information. Despite these limitations, local resection for placenta accreta spectrum may possibly be an option for appropriately selected patients to reduce surgical morbidity. Because the indication criteria, safety, surgical techniques, and necessity of adjunctive therapies for local resection remain understudied, further prospective studies are warranted.SYSTEMATIC REVIEW ","PeriodicalId":19483,"journal":{"name":"Obstetrics and gynecology","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143849554","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This statement proposes standardized criteria for measuring severe maternal morbidity and mortality (SMM) for PAS, distinguishing true complications from expected interventions in care. Traditional SMM definitions are problematic for PAS research because they classify anticipated interventions such as hysterectomy and blood transfusions as complications. Through collaborative expert consensus, we identified outcomes that represent unexpected events with significant health consequences for inclusion in a composite primary outcome. The proposed SMM for PAS definition includes maternal death, transfusion of 8 or more units of packed red blood cells, unplanned return to the operating room, specific organ injuries, prolonged mechanical ventilation, pulmonary complications, acute renal failure, prolonged vasopressor use, circulatory support requirements, acute coronary syndrome requiring intervention, cardiac arrest, thromboembolism, and neurologic events. This composite outcome avoids bias toward specific management approaches, relies on objective criteria to limit interpretation variations, and excludes procedures reflecting institutional protocols rather than complications. By standardizing outcome reporting in PAS research, this definition aims to facilitate meaningful comparisons between studies, to generate evidence-based guidelines, and ultimately to improve patient care.","PeriodicalId":19483,"journal":{"name":"Obstetrics and gynecology","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143822763","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
