    • Abstract:
      Objective • To explore the value of Doppler ultrasound combined with the serum pregnancy associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) in the diagnosis and pathology of placenta accreta. Methods • For the method of retrospective study, the data of 250 pregnant women with cesarean section delivery in our hospital from February 2020 to February 2021 were analyzed, and the prenatal examination of pregnant women was performed by Doppler ultrasound and the serum PAPP-A level was determined by serology detection. They were divided into the placenta accreta group (n=152) and non-placenta accreta group (n=98) according to the pathological results after delivery to compare the imaging data and the serum PAPP-A levels in the two groups. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) was drawn with the pathological results as the gold standard. Results • The serum PAPP-A level in the placenta accreta group was overtly lower than that in the non-placenta accreta group (698.65±9.65 vs 910.57±9.65, t = 169.52, P < .001). In the placenta accreta group, there were 126 cases (82.89%) with irregular gyrate liquid dark area formed in the placenta of pregnant women, 78 cases (51.32%) with partial or all disappearance of posterior placenta space, 22 cases (14.74%) with the attenuation or disappearance of myometrium in the placental attachment, and 20 cases (13.16%) with abnormal placental thickening. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of the Doppler ultrasound combined with serum diagnosis of PAPP-A were 86.84%, 79.59%, 86.84% and 79.59%, respectively. ROC analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of Doppler ultrasound combined with serum diagnosis of PAPP-A was 0.835, with the asymptotic Sig.b < .001 and an asymptotic 95% confidence interval (CI) of 0.780-0.891. Conclusion • Doppler ultrasound could analyze the pathological manifestations of placenta accreta, and serum PAPP-A could be combined to improve the detection rate of placenta accreta, with a certain clinical application value.
