Antenatal diagnosis of placenta accreta spectrum after in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: Increasing evidence suggests a relationship between in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) and placenta accreta spectrum (PAS). Some studies have reported a lower rate of antenatal diagnosis of PAS after IVF-ET compared to PAS with spontaneous conception. This study aimed to review the diagnostic accuracy of PAS after IVF-ET and to explore the relationship between IVF-ET pregnancy and PAS. According to the PRISMA guidelines, a comprehensive systematic review of the literature was conducted through August 31, 2020 to determine the effects of IVF-ET on PAS. In addition, a meta-analysis was conducted to explore the relationship between IVF-ET pregnancy and PAS. Twelve original studies (2011-2020) met the inclusion criteria. Among these, 190,139 IVF-ET pregnancies and 248,534 spontane
