Article Synopsis
- Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) is a serious condition where the placenta abnormally attaches to the uterine wall, leading to risks like severe postpartum hemorrhage; diagnosing PAS often requires expert imaging techniques, which are lacking in some areas.
- A study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of specific maternal plasma protein biomarkers (AT-3, PAI-I, sVEGFR-2, sT-2) for screening pregnant women at high risk for PAS, focusing on those with placenta previa.
- The results indicated that combining these biomarkers with a history of cesarean delivery achieved the best screening performance for PAS, with 77% sensitivity and 89% specificity.
