Summary1 A consecutive series of 46 patients (110 tests) was studied to determine the relationship between the oestriol/creatinine ratios of 24‐hour and single urine specimens. 2 A satisfactory correlation was found between the 2 ratios (correlation coefficient 0.86, P < 0.001). 3 The single specimen urinary oestriol/creatinine ratio may have a place in the prediction of placental function, particularly at the onset of labour.
