Comparison of serum levels of cell adhesion molecules (E-selectin, P-selectin, ICAM-1, VCAM-1, LRG-1) in placental invasion and adhesion anomalies with patients with vaginal delivery and former cesarean

Objective It is aimed to be a technique that can be used for diagnosis and to prevent maternal deaths in cases where the serum levels of cell adhesion molecules are different in patients with abnormal placentation compared to healthy pregnant women. Materials and methods Patients between March 2020 and September 2021 were included in the study. While 56 patients, out of 153 cases formed the placental adhesion and/or localization anomaly group, 55 cases without placental adhesion anomaly (placental invasion anomaly and/or previa pathology) constituted the cesarean section group and 42 cases constituted the vaginal birth control group. Demographic characteristics and histories of 153 patients were questioned. I-CAM-1, V-CAM-1, E-Selectin, P-Selectin, LRG-1 levels were studied. The parameters measured by the ELISA method were studied in the Thermo Fisher Scientific Multiscan Go (Finland) device at the Hatay Mustafa Kemal University Medical Faculty Medical Biochemistry USA ELISA Laboratory. Wholehouse and One Way Anova analysis methods were used to compare the results. Results There were significant differences in E-Selectin, P-Selectin, ICAM-1 and LRG-1 values between the groups ( p
