The effect of different diagnostic timings and types of placenta accreta on the pregnancy outcome

Abstract

Objectives: To explore the effects of maternal and fetal outcomes after different diagnostic timings of placenta accreta and its types. Methods: We retrospectively collected the clinical information of 1178 pregnant women with placenta accreta in Fujian Maternity and Children Health Hospital from January 2012 to January 2017. According to the different diagnostic timings of placenta accreta, they were divided into groups of prenatal diagnosis and postpartum diagnosis; and according to the types of placenta accreta, they were divided into groups of accreta group, increta group, and percreta group. Results: 1. Women with antenatal diagnosis more often had placenta previa and history of previous cesarean section. 2. Women with antenatal diagnosis had a higher rate in blood loss and blood transfusion. 3. The rate of blood loss, blood transfusion, infection,disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), secondary laparotomy, hysterectomy had statistically significant differences (P < 0.05) in different types of placenta accreta. The deeper of placenta accreta, the higher the incidence of complications. Conclusion: It is important to pay attention for risk factors of the placenta accreta, then improve prenatal diagnostic rate of the placenta accreta and its types, which can forecast the severity of illness to improve maternal and fetal outcomes.
