Risk factors for postpartum haemorrhage in women with histologically verified placenta accreta spectrum disorders: a retrospective single-centre cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorders have been reported with an increasing frequency of up to 3%. The increase in the incidence can be explained by the rising rate of Caesarean section (CS), assisted reproductive technology (ART) and previous uterine surgeries.
