Among women with PAS, those with a coexisting placenta previa experienced greater hemorrhagic morbidity compared to those without. In addition, PAS without placenta previa typically was not diagnosed prior to delivery. This study further supports the recommendation for multi-disciplinary planning and assurance of resources for pregnancies complicated by PAS. In addition, our results highlight the need for mobilization of resources for those pregnancies where PAS is not diagnosed until delivery.
