RESUMO
Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorders are a major cause of maternal morbidity and mortality and are increasing in incidence owing to a rising rate of cesarean delivery. US is the primary imaging tool for evaluation of PAS disorders, which are most often diagnosed during routine early second-trimester US to assess fetal anatomy. MRI serves as a complementary modality, providing value when the diagnosis is equivocal at US and evaluating the extent and topography of myoinvasion for surgical planning in severe cases. While the definitive diagnosis is established by a combined clinical and histopathologic classification at delivery, accurate antenatal diagnosis and multidisciplinary management are critical to guide treatment and ensure optimal outcomes for these patients. Many MRI features of PAS disorders have been described in the literature. To standardize assessment at MRI, the Society of Abdominal Radiology (SAR) and European Society of Urogenital Radiology (ESUR) released a joint consensus statement to provide guidance for image acquisition, image interpretation, and reporting of PAS disorders. The authors review the role of imaging in diagnosis of PAS disorders, describe the SAR-ESUR consensus statement with a pictorial review of the seven major MRI features recommended for use in diagnosis of PAS disorders, and discuss management of these patients. Familiarity with the spectrum of MRI findings of PAS disorders will provide the radiologist with the tools needed to more accurately diagnose this disease and make a greater impact on the care of these patients. ©RSNA, 2023 Supplemental material is available for this article.

BACKGROUND: The aim of this paper is to assess the current state of quality and outcomes measures being reported for hepatic resections in the recent literature. METHODS: Medline and PubMed databases were searched for English language articles published between 1 January 2002 and 30 April 2013. Two examiners reviewed each article and relevant citations for appropriateness of inclusion, which excluded papers of liver donor hepatic resections, repeat hepatectomies or meta-analyses. Data were extracted and summarized by two examiners for analysis. RESULTS: Fifty-five studies were identified with suitable reporting to assess peri-operative mortality in hepatic resections. In only 35% (19/55) of the studies was the follow-up time explicitly stated, and in 47% (26/55) of studies peri-operative mortality was limited to in-hospital or 30 days. The time period in which complications were captured was not explicitly stated in 19 out of 28 studies. The remaining studies only captured complications within 30 days of the index operation (8/28). There was a paucity of quality literature addressing truly patient-centred outcomes. CONCLUSION: Quality outcomes after a hepatic resection are inconsistently reported in the literature. Quality outcome studies for a hepatectomy should report mortality and morbidity at a minimum of 90 days after surgery.
