Prenatal diagnosis and management of placenta accreta in a Moroccan high-level maternity

Abstract

The diagnosis of placenta accreta is not as rare as it used to be, its incidence is clearly increasing and it is correlated with the Caesarean sections rate. This pathology is responsible for a significant maternal morbidity and mortality although it could be preventable with prenatal diagnosis and a good medical and surgical management. The aim of this work is to describe the behavior adopted in front of a Placenta Accreta diagnosed in a Moroccan maternity level 3 over a period of six years. The objective of this descriptive retrospective study is to provide epidemiological results concerning the evolution of this obstetric pathology in recent years and to detect the various complications that may arise. Noted that no significant series of this pathology has been reported in Morocco. Highlights

Characteristics, Outcomes and Prevalence of Pregnant Women with Placenta Accreta Spectrum in Black Lion Hospital - Five years retrospective study , Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 2023

“…This gure of high association between PAS and PP in this study could be explained by the fact that there is a 10% risk of a mother to develop PAS in the presence of PP (without previous uterine surgery) [22]. This might also be further supported by the study ndings in Morocco where 100% [29] of their patients were presented with PP and in the Texas study of USA where PP where detected in both unexpected (74.6%) and expected (37.3%) PAS [27]. Moreover, the current nding is also be supported by the nding of a study done in UK by Jauniaux and Bhide [4].…”
