Placental lesions in stillbirths: A case-control study using the Amsterdam criteria and predictive models at a UK tertiary unit
MVM is frequently found in stillbirths. Our retrospective placental dysfunction risk assessment suggests that Tommy's algorithm would have more accurately identified women who went onto experience stillbirth with significant MVM lesions as high risk, leading to aspirin treatment and closer monitoring. Further research is needed to confirm these findings and potentially enhance placental dysfunction screening to reduce stillbirth rates.
