Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Predictive value of maternal plasma cell free DNA

    Prediction of abnormal placental invasion in cases of placenta previa. Primary aim: Is to evaluate whether measurement of cell-free fetal DNA in the maternal plasma can be predictive of abnormal placental invasion in cases of placenta previa. Secondary aim: To decrease maternal morbidity and mortality by early prenatal diagnosis of abnormal placental invasion in placenta previa

    4 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • maternal morbidity

    4 months

Study Arms (2)

Study group

Maternal plasma cell free fetal DNA levels will be measured in 25 women with one or more previous cesarean section and placenta previa anterior only or with ultrasound finding suggestive of placental adhesion or invasion (accreta , increta or percreta).

Diagnostic Test: Maternal plasma cell free fetal DNA levels

Control group

Maternal plasma cell free fetal DNA levels will be measured in 25 matched control with normally situated placenta without ultrasound finding suggestive of placental adhesion or invasion.

Diagnostic Test: Maternal plasma cell free fetal DNA levels

Interventions

Measurement Maternal plasma cell free fetal DNA levels in both groups (study and control groups)

Study Population

Study group (1): 25 women with one or more previous cesarean section and placenta previa anterior only or with ultrasound finding suggestive of placental adhesion or invasion (accreta , increta or percreta).

You may qualify if:

  • Maternal age range from 20-40 years old.
  • Parity: para 1- para 5.
  • Body mass index range from 18-25 kg/m2.
  • Singleton pregnancy carrying male fetuses.
  • Gestational age range from 28-34 weeks.

You may not qualify if:

  • Multifetal pregnancy.
  • Hypertension, preterm labor and intrauterine growth restriction.
  • Patients taking a tocolytic agent or those with uterine bleeding at or after blood sampling.
  • Since these complications may increase the level of cell-free fetal DNA.
  • Accidental hemorrhage.
