NCT02442518

Brief Summary

The accuracy of sonographic prenatal detection of invasive placentation is unclear. The objective of this prospective, multicenter, observational study is to assess the performance of ultrasound for prenatal identification of invasive placentation in women with placenta previa. This study involves more than 25 hospitals in Italy.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • diagnostic accuracy of sonographic prenatal detection of invasive placentation

    clinical and histopathological assessment of placental invasion at delivery

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • maximum degree of placental invasion

    clinical and histopathological assessment of placental invasion at delivery

Study Arms (1)

women with placenta praevia

women with placenta previa diagnosed at antenatal ultrasound in the third trimester of pregnancy (lower placental edge within 20 mm from the internal os above 26 week's gestation)

Procedure: antenatal ultrasound

Interventions

Transabdominal and Transvaginal ultrasound examinations were performed in the third trimester (with some fluid in the bladder so that the uterine bladder interface could be evaluated well).

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexfemale
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

women with placenta previa diagnosed at antenatal ultrasound in the third trimester of pregnancy (lower placental edge within 20 mm from the internal os above 26 week's gestation)

You may qualify if:

  • Placenta previa diagnosed with ultrasound above 26 weeks' gestation (lower edge reached and/or overlapped the internal cervical os, or the lower edge was between 0.1 and 20.0 mm from the internal cervical os)

You may not qualify if:

  • Age \< 18 years
  • prepartum bleeding or fetal distress requiring immediate emergency Cesarean section before the enrollment of the woman
