AbstractTo explore the expression and the diagnostic value of ADAM17 in pernicious placenta previa (PPP) combined placental accreta. A total of 148 PPP patients were enrolled and divided into 2 groups: 62 patients with placenta accrete (PPP with PA group) and 86 patients without placenta accrete (PPP without PA group). In the same period, 74 pregnant women without PPP who had undergone cesarean section were selected as controls. The levels of ADAM17 were detected by qt-PCR. Diagnostic efficiency of ADAM17 were evaluated by receiver operating characteristics curve. ADAM17 was higher expression in PPP patients. Multivariate analysis showed that ADAM17 was related to gravida times (HR = 2.43 95% CI, 1.25-3.31), history of cesarean delivery (HR = 3.44, 95% CI = 2.24-4.28), history of abortions (HR = 2.22, 95% CI = 1.57-3.06) for PPP with PA patients and gravida times (HR = 2.01, 95% CI = 1.45-2.86), history of cesarean delivery (HR = 1.89, 95% CI = 1.33-2.48) for PPP patients without PA. Diagnostic efficiency of ADAM17 indicated that the sensitivity and specificity of ADAM17 detection for PPP with PA were 74.41% and 67.21% and for PPP without PA were 89.29% and 85.52%. Area under curve were 0.7876 (0.7090-0.8661) for PPP with PA and 0.9443 (0.9136-0.9750) for PPP without PA. Insummary, ADAM17 was higher expression in patients with PPP. ADAM17 was associated with gravida times, history of cesarean delivery, history of abortions. It also indicated a better diagnostic efficiency for patients with PPP. Further larger sample, multicenter studies should be conducted to confirm the conclusion from our study.Copyright © 2024 the Author(s). Published by Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
