Abstract

Abstract : ( BJOG. 2015;122:1370–1376) This study aims to examine whether differences exist in routine first trimester maternal serum biochemical screening measurements among normal pregnancies and those complicated by placenta previa and abnormally invasive placentation (AIP). The term, AIP was suggested recently to avoid the confusion with terminology defining the various types of morbidly adherent placentae—placenta accreta, increta, and percreta.
