Prolonged adhesiolysis to pregnancy interval is associated with placenta accreta spectrum in women with intrauterine adhesion by Lan Xiang, Duoxiang Sun, Juan He, Yali Zhuang

“…Regression analysis showed that AFS grade (OR = 7.40, 95% CI 1.38–39.73, p = 0.020) and adhesiolysis to pregnancy interval time between 12 and 24 months (OR = 12.09, 95% CI 3.76–38.83, p = 0.000) were closely related to PAS. A Kaplan–Meier analysis showed the median interval time to PAS was 16.00 months (95% CI 15.11–16.89).Conclusions We assume that prolonged adhesiolysis to pregnancy interval may be considered a significant risk factor for PAS in IUA women.…”
