Abstract:

Introduction: Placenta accreta spectrum is a problem during delivery when the placenta is not completely separated from the uterus and is followed by massive obstetric bleeding and can cause postnatal morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this study was to describe the pregnancy characteristics of patients with placenta accreta spectrum at Prof. Dr. I.G.N.G. Ngoerah Hospital Denpasar, Bali-Indonesia during period 1 January 2020 - 1 January 2022. Methods: This study is a descriptive study that describes the basic sociodemographic characteristics, ligation procedures, ultrasonographic findings, and histopathology. Results: A total of 48 patients were sampled in this study, the highest proportion of pregnant women with placenta accreta spectrum with lacuna grade II (39.6%), loss of basal hypoechoic zone (64.6%), myometrial thickness <1 mm (39.6%), anterior placenta location (81.3%), regular vesicouterine border (75%), no exophytic mass (97.9%), bridging vessels (68.8%), no feeding vessels (85.4%), loss of placental basal Doppler image (97.9%), no hypervascularity of the vesicouterine area (66.7%), no lacunae vascular turbulence (83.3%) and the highest PAI score with a value of less than 5.37 (56.3%). Conclusion: The spectrum of placenta accreta was found with grade II lacunae, loss of basal hypoechoic zone, myometrial thickness <1 mm, anterior placenta location, regular vesicouterine border, no exophytic mass, no bridging vessels, no feeding vessels, loss of placental basal Doppler image, there was no hypervascularity in the vesicouterine area, no vascular lacunae turbulence and the highest PAI score with a value of less than 5.37.
