Abstract

To examine associations with morbidly adherent placenta (MAP) among women with placenta previa.Study Design:Women with MAP (cases) and previa alone (controls) were identified from a cohort of 236 714 singleton pregnancies with both first and second trimester prenatal screening, and live birth and hospital discharge records; pregnancies with aneuploidies and neural tube or abdominal wall defects were excluded. Logistic binomial regression was used to compare cases with controls.Result:In all, 37 cases with MAP and 699 controls with previa alone were included. Risk for MAP was increased among multiparous women with pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) ≥95th percentile (≥2.63 multiple of the median (MoM); adjusted OR (aOR) 8.7, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.8 to 27.4), maternal-serum alpha fetoprotein (MS-AFP) ≥95th percentile (≥1.79 MoM; aOR 2.8, 95% CI 1.0 to 8.0), and 1 and ≥2 prior cesarean deliveries (CDs; aORs 4.4, 95% CI 1.5 to 13.6 and 18.4, 95% CI 5.9 to 57.5, respectively).Conclusion:Elevated PAPP-A, elevated MS-AFP and prior CDs are associated with MAP among women with previa.
