Analysis of risk factors for obstetric outcomes after hysteroscopic adhesiolysis for Asherman syndrome: A retrospective cohort study.

Abstract

To investigate the factors influencing placenta accreta in pregnant women who previously underwent hysteroscopic adhesiolysis (HA). This retrospective study enrolled 265 women with intrauterine adhesions (IUAs) at the Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital from January 2014 to December 2018. We followed up their pregnancy outcomes and maternal complications. The menstrual pattern and gestational history before operation were significantly different between the live birth and pregnancy loss groups. The age, extent of cavity involved, type of adhesions, times of adhesiolysis performed, and time interval from surgery to pregnancy were not significantly different between these two groups. In the third trimester, 48 of 140 patients had 53 perinatal complications, including placenta accreta (27), gestational diabetes mellitus (10), pregnancy-induced hypertension (6), postpartum hemorrhage (4), intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (2), placenta previa (1), oligohydramnios (1), and intrauterine growth restriction (1). Logistic regression analysis showed that extent of cavity involved and times of adhesiolysis performed were associated with placenta accreta. The extent of cavity involved and times of adhesive separation surgeries were risk factors for placenta accreta in patients. The menstrual model and gestational history may provide the main predictive factors for pregnancy loss.
