ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Our study aimed to differentiate patients with placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) from those with placenta previa (PP) using maternal serum levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin-4 (IL-4), and IL-10.METHODS:
The case group consisted of 77 patients with placenta previa, and the control group consisted of 90 non-previa pregnant women. Of the pregnant women in the case group, 40 were diagnosed with PAS in addition to placenta previa and 37 had placenta previa with no invasion. The maternal serum VEGF, TNF-alpha, IL-4, and IL-10 levels were compared between the case and control groups. Then the success of these markers in differentiating between PP and PAS was evaluated.RESULTS:
We found the VEGF, TNF-alpha, and IL-4 levels to be higher and the IL-10 level to be lower in the case group compared to the control group (p < 0.001). We observed a statistically significantly lower IL-10 level in the patients with PAS than those with PP (p = 0.029). In the receiver operating characteristic analysis, the optimal cut-off of IL-10 in the detection of PAS was 0.42 ng/mL). In multivariate analysis, the risk of PAS was significant for IL-10 (odds ratio (OR) 0.45, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 0.25-0.79, p = 0.006) and previous cesarean section (OR 2.50, 95 % Cl 1.34-4.66, p = 0.004). The model's diagnostic sensitivity and specificity, including previous cesarean section, preoperative hemoglobin (Hb), TNF-alpha, and IL-10 were 75 % and 72.9 %, respectively.CONCLUSION:
The study showed that the IL-10 level was lower in patients with PAS than in those with PP. A statistical model combining risk factors including previous cesarean section, preoperative Hb, TNF-alpha, and IL-10 may improve clinical diagnosis of PAS in placenta previa cases. Cytokines may be used as additional biomarkers to the clinical risk factors in the diagnosis of PAS.Palavras-chave
