PPAP scoring system predicts adherent placenta in women with placenta previa

Objective: Adherent placenta (AP) is a life-threatening condition, and is often complicated with placenta previa (PP). We have devised an original scoring system for predicting AP complicated with PP, and conducted a prospective cohort study to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of our scoring system (Placenta Previa with Adherent Placenta score: PPAP score).
