Mesentery and Peritoneum2020Vol. 4, pp. AB233–AB233
Abstract
Background: Placenta Accreta Spectrum is one of the leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality. The obstetric management of Placenta Accreta requires considerable resources due to the necessity for multidisciplinary access, blood product availability, critical care beds and theatre space. Anecdotally, the incidence of Placenta Accreta Spectrum in the Midwest appears to be increasing. We set out to quantify the baseline rate of incidence of Placenta Accreta Spectrum and estimate the resources involved in the management of Placenta Accreta Spectrum.
