Study summary

Placenta previa cases are one of the difficult groups of patients to manage in modern obstetrics. When the literature is evaluated extensively, no clear information can be seen especially in terms of hospitalization time. Inpatient follow-up of this patients has negative effects like hospital infections in terms of the patient, workload in terms of health personnel and financial losses in terms of the country's economy. Placenta previa cases are complicated patients in which generalizations cannot be easily performed and they should be monitored at third level hospitals. In addition, care should be personalized considering the many reasons. In this study, placenta previa cases will be followed up at 28th gestational week and evaluated at 32nd week by vaginal ultrasonography and MRI and this follow-up will continue until delivery. Thus, in this study, it was aimed to determine the parameters that would allow systematic personalization of health service in this particular patient group by making risk assessment of placenta previa cases.
