ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how ultrasound can help predict the outcomes of surgery for women with a condition called placenta accreta, which occurs when the placenta attaches too deeply into the uterus. The research will focus on women who have placenta previa, a situation where the placenta is positioned low in the uterus, and who have had at least one previous cesarean section. By using a specific scoring system based on ultrasound images, the study aims to see how well this method can forecast the success of the surgery needed to treat these conditions.

To be eligible for this trial, participants must be pregnant women who are at least 32 weeks along in their pregnancy, carrying a single baby, and diagnosed with placenta previa. Unfortunately, women who are in active labor or have unstable medical conditions cannot take part in the study. Those who do participate can expect to undergo ultrasound examinations to assess their situation, which may help doctors better plan for their surgery and improve outcomes. The trial is not yet recruiting participants, but it aims to provide valuable insights for future treatments in this area.
