About this study

The aim of this study is to identify risk factors associated with performing cesarean hysterectomy versus conservative management in patients with placenta accreta spectrum (PAS).

Research question What are the risk factors associated with cesarean hysterectomy in patients with placenta accreta spectrum? Research hypothesis There are certain risk factors associated with cesarean hysterectomy in patients with Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS).

Read the detailed description

Placenta accreta spectrum disorder (PAS) is a serious obstetric disorder that is characterized by low lying and deep penetration of the villi which are abnormally attached to the myometrium of the uterus. This obstructs its complete separation during the third stage of labor which induces continued bleeding, and have potentially life- threatening for the mother. Most commonly, it is a consequence of a partial or complete absence of the compact and spongy layer known as the decidua basalis, and mis-development of the fibrinoid Nitabuch's layer which lies between the boundary zone of the thick endometrium and the cytotrophoblastic shell in the placenta.

Traditionally, caesarean hysterectomy at the time of delivery has been the preferred management strategy for placenta previa accreta. Not only does this approach preclude future fertility, but it is also a procedure synonymous with significant perioperative risks. For women who wish to conserve their reproductive function, other treatment options have been described.

1.INTRODUCTION/ REVIEW Placenta accreta is defined as "the abnormal localization and adherence of the placenta villi to the uterine myometrium. Patients at risk for abnormal placentation should be assessed antenally by ultrasonography, with or without adjunct magnetic resonance imaging if indicated . Various grading systems of villous invasion during placenta implantation are integrated to a spectrum (PAS), including placenta accreta (the villi invade superficially into the myometrium), increta (the villi invade deeper into the myometrium but do not reach the serosa), and percreta (the villi invade into the uterine serosa or adjacent organs) Clinically, severe complications of PA include severe obstetric hemorrhage leading to disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC), iatrogenic injury to the ureters, bladder, bowel, respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), acute transfusion reactions, electrolyte imbalance, and renal failure. In women with PA, the expected blood loss at delivery is 3000- 5000 mL, About 90% of patients require a blood transfusion with 40% requiring more than ten units of packed cell transfusion .

The most difficult problem to deal with is controlling hemorrhage during delivery caused by PAS disorders. The potential for bleeding correlates with the degree to which the placenta invades the myometrium, the area of abnormal adherence involved, and the presence or absence of invasion into extrauterine tissues such as the bladder or parametrial tissues .

Different methods have been employed to manage the PA, ranging from uterine conservation, which involves leaving the placenta in situ, to conventional hysterectomy. Classical cesarean sections (C- sections) prevent the excessive bleeding by leaving the adherent placenta in situ and by adopting strategic planning with a comprehensive analysis that aids the reduction in maternal morbidity and mortality rates .

Perinatal emergency hysterectomy is routinely used to avoid maternal morbidity and mortality . Given the fact that cesarean section history and placenta previa are major risk factors, the incidence of PAS disorders increases with the increasing rate of cesarean section .

Other risk factors include spontaneous or induced abortion, repeated miscarriages, in vitro fertilization embryo transfer, advanced maternal age, history of endometrial ablation, and previous uterine surgery .

Conservative and non-conservative management for PAS disorders have been compared. Cesarean hysterectomy is regarded as the safest and most practical, thereby remaining the management option of choice. Nevertheless, hysterectomy is associated with high rates of severe maternal morbidity. In cases of placenta percreta, especially with bladder invasion, owing to damage to pelvic organs and vasculature during hysterectomy .In recent years, with the application of an abdominal artery balloon and the improvement of surgical techniques, efforts are made to preserve the uterus for patients PAS. This is not only the improvement for fertility preservation, but also for better control of bleeding to reduce maternal morbidity.

The evidence on conservative management is considered low-quality, less reproducible, and operator-dependent. Critics noted the lack of histopathological confirmation or detailed differential diagnosis. Confounding factors in these studies needs to be controlled including the application of interventional techniques, the severity of placental invasion, and various placental positions and suture techniques .

Therefore, investigators will undertake a prospective study to analyze maternal and neonatal outcomes comparing women with PAS disorders treated with cesarean hysterectomy or conservatively.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of the patient who diagnosed intraoperative with placenta accreta spectrum disorder and undergoing conservative management or hysterectomy

    The diagnoses will be made based on intra-operative findings and/or pathologic features depending on the degree of placenta invasion (invading the myometrium or invading up to or beyond the uterine serosa). Patients with placenta accreta with complete peri-operative information will be included for further analysis.

    Measured: from time of operation to diagnoses 1week

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06105034, which also lists 17 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
