MRI-Based Radiomics Analysis for Intraoperative Risk Assessment in Gravid Patients at High Risk with Placenta Accreta Spectrum

Gravid patients at high risk with placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) face life-threatening risk at delivery. Intraoperative risk assessment for patients is currently insufficient. We aimed to develop an assessment system of intraoperative risks through MRI-based radiomics.A total of 131 patients enrolled were randomly grouped according to a ratio of 7:3. Clinical data were analyzed retrospectively. Radiomic features were extracted from sagittal Fast Imaging Employing State-sate Acquisition images. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were performed to build models using R software. A receiver operating characteristic curve and decision curve analysis (DCA) were performed to determine the predictive performance of models.Six radiomic features and two clinical variables were used to construct the combined model for selection of removal protocols of the placenta, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.90 and 0.91 in the training and test cohorts, respectively. Nine radiomic features and two clinical variables were obtained to establish the combined model for prediction of intraoperative blood loss, with an AUC of 0.90 and 0.88 in the both cohorts, respectively. The DCA confirmed the clinical utility of the combined model.The analysis of combined MRI-based radiomics with clinics could be clinically beneficial for patients.
