Considering the rarity of umbilical cord prolapse (UCP) and lack of accurate data about the risk factors and health outcomes, evaluation of cases of cesarean section (CS) due to UCP in order to reduce treatment costs and provide information about the mortality and morbidity associated with this condition was very interesting to them. specially that the number of patients we assessed were 103 out of 35259 patients. |

The ECPM is a biannual meeting where about 1500-2000 specialists in the field of perinatal medicine meet. With specialists they not only mean midwives, obstetricians and neonatologists but also those professionals who work in the very important adjacent fields such as child pathology, paediatric surgery, genetics, prenatal diagnosis and IVF. Also epidemiologists and health care workers found the conference interesting.
The conference consisted of a great offer of keynote lectures by speakers with international esteem during plenary and parallel sessions with enough time allotted for discussions. Participants were also invited to present their data in oral or poster presentations, based on the content of their abstracts.
During the conference, you updated on all important issues in the whole spectrum of the perinatal field, e.g. preconceptional counselling, genetics and prenatal diagnosis, high-risk pregnancies and deliveries, neonatal delivery management, problems of preterm and term infants, ethical issues and follow-up. So the congress was wonderful and is good to ask them how they organized the wonderful congress. |

I arrived to the congress venue on 15th of June.Although I did not pay my registration fee in advance, every thing was ready. My name was there and my badge and congress information was ready. I paid the registration fee and got my documents and invoice very fast. The venue was very nice and beautiful. there were about 4 conference places. we could chose which one we were interested to participate. I mostly participated in prenatal assessment for down syndrome which was very helpful. Also there were many lectures about emergency situations which was very helpful. |
