Brief summary
Placenta previa can cause a risk of severe bleeding during labor. Placenta previa is usually classified into four different types: total, partial, marginal and asymptomatic. The condition is diagnosed by ultrasonography later in pregnancy and its management varies depending on the location of the placenta and the presence of bleeding. Studies show that the increased frequency of placenta previa is associated with increased cesarean section rates and maternal age (1). Furthermore, the effects of placenta previa on maternal and fetal morbidity can be reduced with proper management (2). Placenta percreata is a condition in which the placenta invades the myometrium (uterine muscle) and serosa (outer surface of the uterus). This can make postpartum detachment of the placenta difficult, leading to severe bleeding and complications. Placenta perforata is often associated with placenta previa and may require surgical intervention. Ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are used to diagnose this condition. Risk factors include previous cesarean deliveries and placenta previa (3). Placenta percreata requires careful management as it increases the risk of maternal mortality and morbidity (4). In this study, we aimed to investigate the levels of decorin, laminin, collagen-1, TGFβ-1, PDGF in placentas of pregnant women with placenta percreata and previa.
Detailed description
In the hospital, blood tests are routinely taken preoperatively from patients hospitalized for placenta percreata and preavia. Blood samples of patients who do not have exclusion criteria and who agree to participate in the study will also be studied from routinely collected blood samples. During the hospitalization of these patients for delivery, following the clamping of the umbilical cord after the birth of the baby (after the bond between the mother and the baby is terminated), 2 ml (one teaspoon) of blood sample will be taken from the cord blood, centrifuged and the serum sample will be separated and stored at -80 degrees. A 3x3 cm piece will be taken from the umbilical cord and placenta (the baby's mate), which will be disposed of as medical waste in the postnatal process, covering all layers. The tissue samples will be placed in a container with 10% formol and preserved. At the time of umbilical cord blood and placenta sampling, these tissues are in a waste state and have no connection with the baby and mother, so there is no harm to the mother or baby during sampling. Tissues (placenta, umbilical cord) and 2 ml (one teaspoon) of blood sample from umbilical cord blood will be taken, centrifuged and serum sample will be separated and stored at -80 degrees Celsius to be used in other similar studies and projects planned to be carried out in the future. Patients to be selected for the control group will be determined according to the exclusion criteria and will be selected with a similar gestational week and gravida number as the case group (In other studies in the literature, control group patients were collected using this similarity). If the patients selected for the control group give birth at term, tissue samples will be taken. Umbilical cord blood will be collected and stored at -80 and included in the study. If the patient selected for the control group gives birth prematurely, gives birth in an external center or requests to withdraw from the study, the patient will be excluded from the study.

| Mean Immunohistochemical Staining Score of Decorin, Laminin, Collagen-I, TGFβ-1, and PDGF in Placenta Percreta Tissues | Baseline | Placental tissue samples obtained at delivery from patients with placenta percreta will undergo immunohistochemical staining for decorin, laminin, collagen-I, TGFβ-1, and PDGF. Staining intensity and distribution will be quantified using the H-score method. |
| Maternal and Cord Blood Concentrations of TGFβ-1 and Decorin in Placenta Percreta Pregnancies | Baseline | Maternal and cord blood samples collected from pregnancies complicated by placenta percreta will be analyzed for TGFβ-1 and decorin concentrations using biochemical assay methods. |
