Abstract: Oral poster abstracts were weighed and measured immediately after delivery.Data was collected and analyzed using SPSS to calculate Spearman's rho (r s ) and significance.Results: There was a significant correlation between estimated placental weight (EPW) and actual placental weight (r s = 0.74, P < 0.001).Subgroup analysis of preterm gestations (n = 9) revealed even a more significant correlation (r s = 0.87, P < 0.001), likely due to the improved visualization of placental width in a single view.Conclusions: Placental weight can be accurately predicted by twodimensional ultrasound with volumetric calculations.This method is simple, rapid and accurate, making it practical for routine prenatal care, as well as high-risk cases with decreased fetal movement and IUGR.Routine EPW surveillance may decrease the rates of perinatal complications and unexpected IUFD.
