Can a simple ultrasound score predict dangerous placental complications?
NCT ID NCT07755709
First seen Aug 10, 2026 · Last updated Aug 11, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial is testing whether a new ultrasound scoring system can accurately predict the severity of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS), a condition where the placenta grows too deeply into the uterine wall. The study will enroll 50 pregnant women with placenta previa and a history of uterine surgery, and compare ultrasound scores with actual findings during cesarean delivery. The goal is to see if the score can predict the need for hysterectomy, bladder injury, blood transfusions, and ICU admission, potentially improving surgical planning and outcomes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- A novel ultrasound scoring system
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this scoring system could help doctors predict the severity of placenta accreta before delivery, potentially reducing complications by guiding surgical planning.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study, and the scoring system may not prove accurate enough for widespread use. It is also limited to a specific group of pregnant women.
