Discussion

Cross-sectional study confirms strong correlation of placental thickness with gestational age, suggesting its importance in ultrasound assessments.

There is a strong positive correlation between placental thickness and gestational age from 12 to 37 weeks.
In the 12-24 week group, the correlation coefficient was r=0.9623, while in the 25-37 week group, it was r=0.9892.
Placental thickness measurement diminishes in utility for gestational age estimation beyond 38 weeks.
Most placentas showed normal morphology and were anteriorly located, reflecting typical outcomes in this population.
