Sumario:OBJECTIVES: Accurate prenatal diagnosis of placenta accrete spectrum disorder (PAS) remains a challenge, and the reported diagnostic value of ultrasonography (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) varies widely. This study aims to systematically evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of US as compared with MRI in the detection of PAS within the identical patient population. METHODS: Medline, EMBASE, Google scholar and Cochrane library were searched. Pooled sensitivity, specificity, diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) and the area under the summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curve were calculated. Subgroup analysis was also performed to elucidate the heterogeneity of results. RESULTS: A total of 18 articles comprising 861 pregnancies were included in the study. The overall diagnostic accuracy of US for identification of PAS was as follows: sensitivity [0.90 (0.86–0.93)], specificity [0.83 (0.79–0.86)], DOR [39.5 (19.6–79.7)]. The overall diagnostic accuracy of MRI for identification of PAS was as follows: sensitivity [0.89 (0.85-0.92)], specificity [0.87 (0.83–0.89)], DOR [37.4 (17.0–82.3)]. The pooled sensitivity (p = 0.808) and specificity (p = 0.413) between US and MRI are not significantly different. SROC analysis revealed that there was no statistical difference (p = 0.552) in US and MRI for the overall predictive accuracy of PAS. Furthermore, in the subgroup analysis of between retrospective and prospective studies, between earlier and most recent studies, there was no statistical difference (p > 0.05) in diagnostic accuracy of US and MRI for the detection of PAS. CONCLUSIONS: Both ultrasonography (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed comparable accuracy in the prenatal diagnosis of placenta accrete spectrum disorder (PAS). Routine employment of MRI with relatively high expense in the prenatal identification of PAS should not be recommended.
