Objective: To evaluate the quality of YouTube™ videos on placenta accreta and to investigate if they can be used as a reliable source of information.

Methods: We queried YouTube™ with terms related to placenta accreta. Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool for audio-visual content (PEMAT A/V), Global Quality Score (GQS), DISCERN score and Misinformation tool were used to assess videos' quality content.

Results: Sixty-four videos were suitable for the analyses. Of those, 42 (65.6%) and 22 (34.4%) were produces by healthcare works and others, respectively. The median PEMAT A/V Understandability and Actionability score was 75 and 66.7%, respectively. According to GQS, 31.2 and 45.3% videos were excellent or good and generally poor or poor, respectively. The median DISCERN score of section 1 was 27 (out of 40), of section 2 was 16 (out of 35) and of section 3 was 2 (out of 5). According to Misinformation tool, the worst described aspect was the one regarding the possible risk factor associated to placenta accreta. Performing the quality assessment according to video authoring entity, videos produced by healthcare workers harbored a higher quality content, relative to the others.

Conclusions: Currently, the overall consideration of YouTube™ video content on placenta accreta is low. Societies should invest new sources in producing higher quality videos to provide a helpful tool for physician during the counselling with patients.

Background: Bladder injury during cesarean delivery (CD) in pregnant women with severe placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorders mostly occurs in the dissection of vesico-uterine space. Placental MRI may help to assess the risk of bladder injury preoperatively.

Purpose: To identify the high-risk MRI signs of bladder injury during CD in women with severe PAS.

Background: Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorder is a fatal condition responsible for obstetric haemorrhage, which contributes to increased feto-maternal morbidity and mortality. The main contributing factor is a scarred uterus, often from a previous cesarean delivery, myomectomy, or uterine instrumentation. The occurrence of PAS in an unscarred uterus is extremely rare, with only anecdotal cases reported so far in the literature.

Placenta accreta represents a spectrum of adherent placental anomalies and is an atypical invasion of the placenta. The major predisposing factor is a prior cesarean delivery. Placenta previa is considered an additional risk factor.

Despite the increasing number of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) cases in recent years, its impact on neonatal outcomes and respiratory morbidity, as well as the underlying pathogenetic mechanism, has not yet been extensively studied. Moreover, no study has yet demonstrated the effectiveness of antenatal corticosteroid therapy (CT) for the prevention of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in newborns of mothers with PAS at the molecular level. In this regard, microRNA (miRNA) profiling by small RNA deep sequencing and quantitative real-time PCR was performed on 160 blood plasma samples from preterm infants (gestational age: 33-36 weeks) and their mothers who had been diagnosed with or without PAS depending on the timing of the antenatal RDS prophylaxis.

Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is the leading cause of maternal mortality worldwide, and mitigating it is a global health priority. In this review, we discuss the measurement, assessment, and treatment of PPH. We review different methods of quantifying blood loss, including gravimetry, calibrated drapes and canisters, and colorimetric techniques.
