Objective: To evaluate publication status for oral presentations at the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine (SMFM) annual meetings.

Study Design: Data from the 2018 and 2019 SMFM annual meetings were evaluated. The data was publicly available via the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology (AJOG) SMFM supplements. Included were all oral presentations at the annual meetings. Abstract titles and authors were queried on PubMed to evaluate the publication status.

Results: Of 231 oral presentations, the publication rate was 73.6% (170/231). Among the 170 published presentations: 42.4% were published within the same year of presentation, 24.1% in the following year, 21.2% two years later, 11.8% within three to five years, and 0.6 % were published prior to the timing of the oral presentation. The top five journals of publications were: Am J Obstet Gynecol (22.4%), Obstet Gynecol (14.7%), Am J Perinatol (9.4%), Am J Obstet Gynecol MFM (5.9%), and Ultrasound Obstet Gynecol (4.1%). The remainder of the publications were published in 50 other journals.

Conclusion: Publication rate for oral presentations was high, with the majority being within the first two years from presentation. Timely manuscript publication is reassuring and valuable for prompt dissemination of research findings and advancing clinical practice within the high-risk pregnancy community.
