Review Meta AnalysisPrenatal identification of invasive placentation using ultrasound: systematic review and meta-analysis.
The accuracy of prospective sonographic prenatal detection of invasive placentation is unclear. The objective of this study was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the performance of ultrasound in at-risk women for prenatal identification of invasive placentation. ⋯ Ultrasound has a high accuracy for prenatal diagnosis of disorders of invasive placentation in high-risk women. The use of color Doppler improves the test performance.

To evaluate whether the maximum degree of placental invasion (placenta accreta, increta or percreta) can be predicted with ultrasound imaging, using criteria developed in our department. ⋯ Our data suggest that prediction of the degree of placental invasion is possible using prenatal ultrasound, with high overall accuracy.
