Observational StudyUltrasound accuracy in prenatal diagnosis of abnormal placentation of posterior placenta previa.
To evaluate the accuracy of ultrasound in prenatal diagnosis of Placenta accrete spectrum disorders in patients with posterior placenta previa, and to assess the impact of prenatal diagnosis in our population. ⋯ Our data showed that grey-scale and Color-Doppler ultrasound evaluation for detecting placenta accreta spectrum disorders on posterior placenta previa have high specificity, positive and negative predictive value, but a low sensitivity. Nevertheless, an antenatal diagnosis of placenta accreta spectrum disorders for posterior placenta previa should be encouraged.
