Relation between Birth Weight and Intraoperative Hemorrhage during Cesarean Section in Pregnancy with Placenta Previa.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Placenta previa, one of the most severe obstetric complications, carries an increased risk of intraoperative massive hemorrhage. Several risk factors for intraoperative hemorrhage have been identified to date. However, the correlation between birth weight and intraoperative hemorrhage has not been investigated. Here we estimate the correlation between birth weight and the occurrence of intraoperative massive hemorrhage in placenta previa.

Materials and methods

We included all 256 singleton pregnancies delivered via cesarean section at our hospital because of placenta previa between 2003 and 2015. We calculated not only measured birth weights but also standard deviation values according to the Japanese standard growth curve to adjust for differences in gestational age. We assessed the correlation between birth weight and the occurrence of intraoperative massive hemorrhage (>1500 mL blood loss). Receiver operating characteristic curves were constructed to determine the cutoff value of intraoperative massive hemorrhage.

Results

Of 256 pregnant women with placenta previa, 96 (38%) developed intraoperative massive hemorrhage. Receiver-operating characteristic curves revealed that the area under the curve of the combination variables between the standard deviation of birth weight and intraoperative massive hemorrhage was 0.71. The cutoff value with a sensitivity of 81.3% and specificity of 55.6% was -0.33 standard deviation. The multivariate analysis revealed that a standard deviation of >-0.33 (odds ratio, 5.88; 95% confidence interval, 3.04-12.00), need for hemostatic procedures (odds ratio, 3.31; 95% confidence interval, 1.79-6.25), and placental adhesion (odds ratio, 12.68; 95% confidence interval, 2.85-92.13) were independent risk of intraoperative massive hemorrhage.

Conclusion

In patients with placenta previa, a birth weight >-0.33 standard deviation was a significant risk indicator of massive hemorrhage during cesarean section. Based on this result, further studies are required to investigate whether fetal weight estimated by ultrasonography can predict hemorrhage during cesarean section in patients with placental previa.

Project description:BackgroundPlacental accreta spectrum disorders (PAS) are a high-risk group for severe postpartum hemorrhage (SPPH), with the incidence of PAS increasing annually. Given that cesarean section and anterior placenta previa are the primary risk factors for PAS, therefore, our study aims to investigate the predictive value of clinical characteristics and ultrasound indicators for SPPH in patients with anterior placenta previa combined with previous cesarean section, providing a theoretical basis for early prediction of SPPH.MethodsA total of 450 patients with anterior placenta previa combined with previous cesarean section were retrospectively analyzed at Shengjing Hospital affiliated with China Medical University between January 2018 and March 2022. Clinical data and ultrasound indicators were collected. Patients were categorized into SPPH (blood loss >2000mL, 182 cases) and non-SPPH (blood loss ≤ 2000mL, 268 cases) groups based on the blood loss within 24 h postpartum. The population was randomly divided into training and validation cohorts at a 7:3 ratio. LASSO and multifactorial logistic regression analyses were utilized to identify independent risk factors for SPPH. Accordingly, a nomogram prediction model was constructed, the predictive performance was assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, calibration curves and decision curve analysis (DCA).ResultsAmong the 450 patients, 182 experienced SPPH (incidence rate, 40.44%). Preoperative systemic immune-inflammatory index, preoperative D-dimer level, preoperative placenta accreta spectrum ultrasound scoring system (PASUSS) score, and one-step-conservative surgery were identified as independent risk factors for SPPH in patients with anterior placenta previa combined with previous cesarean section. A nomogram was constructed based on these factors. The areas under the ROC curves for the training and validation cohorts were 0.844 (95%CI: 0.801-0.888) and 0.863 (95%CI: 0.803-0.923), respectively. Calibration curves and DCA indicated that this nomogram demonstrated good predictive accuracy.ConclusionsThis nomogram presents an effective and convenient prediction model for identifying SPPH in patients with anterior placenta previa combined with previous cesarean section. It can guide surgical planning and improve prognosis.

Project description:Placenta previa and placenta accreta carry significant maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Several techniques have been described in the literature for controlling massive bleeding associated with placenta previa cesarean sections. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the use of the cervix as a natural tamponade in controlling postpartum hemorrhage caused by placenta previa and placenta previa accreta.This prospective study was conducted on 40 pregnant women admitted to our hospital between June 2012 and November 2014. All participating women had one or more previous cesarean deliveries and were diagnosed with placenta previa and/or placenta previa accreta. Significant bleeding from the placental bed during cesarean section was managed by inverting the cervix into the uterine cavity and suturing the anterior and/or the posterior cervical lips into the anterior and/or posterior walls of the lower uterine segment.The technique of cervical inversion described above was successful in stopping the bleeding in 38 out of 40 patients; yielding a success rate of 95%. We resorted to hysterectomy in only two cases (5%). The mean intra-operative blood loss was 1572.5 mL, and the mean number of blood units transfused was 3.1. The mean time needed to perform the technique was 5.4?±?0.6 min. The complications encountered were as follows: bladder injury in the two patients who underwent hysterectomy and wound infection in one patient. Postoperative fever that responded to antibiotics occurred in 1 patient. The mean duration of the postoperative hospital stay was 3.5 daysThis technique of using the cervix as a natural tamponade appears to be safe, simple, time-saving and potentially effective method for controlling the severe postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) caused by placenta previa/placenta previa accreta. This technique deserves to be one of the tools in the hands of obstetricians who face the life-threatening hemorrhage of placenta accreta.ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02590484 . Registered 28 October 2015.

Project description:Background: Pernicious placenta previa (PPP) is one of the most dangerous complications in pregnancy after cesarean section, with high perinatal mortality. This study aimed to develop a nomogram to predict postpartum hemorrhage in patients with PPP. Methods: A total of 246 patients with confirmed PPP at Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University from January 2018 to December 2021 were included. Patients were divided into to two cohorts depending on a postpartum blood loss of > 1000 ml (n = 146) or ≤ 1000 ml (n = 100). Lasso regression analysis was performed on the risk factors screened by univariate analysis to screen out the final risk factors affecting postpartum hemorrhage. Based on the final risk factors, a Nomogram prediction model with excellent performance was constructed using Logistic regression. A nomogram was constructed with further screening of the selected risk factors of postpartum hemorrhage in PPP. A second nomogram based only on the total ultrasonic risk score was constructed. Decision curve analysis (DCA) was used to evaluate the clinical efficacy of the nomograms. Results: Older age, larger gestational age, larger neonatal birth weight, presence of gestational diabetes mellitus, larger amniotic fluid index, absence of gestational bleeding, and higher ultrasonic risk single score were selected to establish a nomogram for postpartum hemorrhage in PPP. The area under the curve of the nomogram constructed by Lasso regression analysis was higher than that of the ultrasonic total score alone (0.887 vs. 0.833). Additionally, DCA indicated better clinical efficacy in the former nomogram than in the later nomogram. Furthermore, internal verification of the nomogram constructed by Lasso regression analysis showed good agreement between predicted and actual values. Conclusion: A nomogram for postpartum hemorrhage in PPP was developed and validated to assist clinicians in evaluating postpartum hemorrhage. This nomogram was more accurate than using the ultrasonic score alone.

Project description:The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of 3-dimensional (3D) ultrasonography and 3D color power Doppler ultrasound in the management of cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP).A case-control study enrolled 190 CSP patients who underwent uterine artery embolization (UAE) in combination with dilatation and curettage (D&C). The maximum diameter of gestational sac or CSP mass, uterine scar thickness, and resistance index (RI) were measured by 2D ultrasound. The lesion volume, vascular index (VI), flow index (FI), blood vessels, and blood flow index (VFI) were assessed by 3D ultrasound. The changes of these parameters before and after UAE were analyzed. Then, the patients were divided into bleeding group and control group according to the intraoperative hemorrhage during D&C to access and compare the significance of 2D and 3D parameters in intraoperative hemorrhage.The mean VI and the mean VFI were significantly reduced after embolization (P?<?.01). In the bleeding group, the lesion volume and diameter of gestational sac or CSP mass were significantly larger, VI and VFI were significantly higher, the uterine scar thickness was thinner, and RI was lower (P?<?.05). The best indicator for prediction of massive intraoperative bleeding was the VI with an area under the curve of 0.870, the best cut-off value of VI was 7.500, and the sensitivity and specificity were 88.2% and 82.4%, respectively. In comparing the receiver operating characteristic curves among 2D and 3D ultrasound parameters, the diagnostic efficacy of lesion volume was significantly higher than maximum diameter (P?<?.001). The diagnostic efficacy of VI was significantly higher than maximum diameter (P?=?.020) and RI (P?=?.011).UAE reduces the number of vessels and the blood flow perfusion obviously; however, it does not reduce lesion size or increases myometrial thickness. Three-dimensional ultrasonography and power Doppler, especially VI, lesion volume may be helpful in predicting excessive bleeding during D&C after UAE.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:We aimed to evaluate the site of placentation on the pregnancy outcomes of patients with placenta previa. METHODS:This retrospective study included 678 cases of placenta previa. Basic information and pregnancy outcome data were collected. Differences between the different placenta previa positions and pregnancy outcomes were compared using the chi-square and independent t tests. Logistic and multiple regression analyses were used to calculate the odds ratios (ORs) to determine the risk factors for PAS disorders and postpartum hemorrhage and evaluate the effect of placental attachment site on pregnancy outcomes. RESULTS:There was no significant difference between the PAS disorders rate and the incidence of complete placenta previa depending on the type of placentation; however, placental attachment site influenced the pregnancy outcome. Placental attachment to the anterior wall was associated with shorter gestational age, low birth weight, lower Apgar score, higher prenatal bleeding rate, increased postpartum hemorrhage, longer duration of hospitalization, and higher blood transfusion and hysterectomy rates compared to cases with lateral/posterior wall placenta. Placental attachment at the incision site of a previous cesarean section significantly increased the incidence of complete placenta previa and PAS disorders compared with placental attachment at a site without incision, but did not significantly influence pregnancy outcomes. Placental attachment to the anterior wall was an independent risk factor for postpartum hemorrhage in patients with placenta previa. Placental attachment to a previous incision site was an independent risk factor for PAS disorders. CONCLUSION:The site of placental attachment in patients with placenta previa has an important influence on the pregnancy outcome. When the placenta is located on the anterior wall, clinicians should pay attention to the adverse pregnancy outcomes and the possibility of massive postpartum hemorrhage. In cases of placental attachment to the uterine incision site, physicians should be highly vigilant regarding the occurrence of PAS disorders.
