MD & DO Is an abstract hard to be accepted in a Conference

Dear all,
I would like to ask a question which may seem a little basic. I am an IMG from Vietnam and have recently submitted two abstracts to the SMFM Pregnancy Meeting. This is my first experience with submitting to a major conference.
Could anyone share their experience on the difficulty of having an abstract accepted? Coming from a low-income country, I am uncertain whether my topics would be considered relevant to a US audience.
The topics are:

1. A prospective cohort study evaluating the association between lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels at admission and adverse obstetric outcomes.
2. A study on the prevalence and risk factors of persistent postpartum hypertension in women with preeclampsia.

Any advice or perspective would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Typically abstracts are not too difficult to get accepted for presentations such as posters or short talks.

You may want to ask on the OB/GYN forum below about those specific topics in terms of relevance.

Edit: Nevermind, I see that you already have posted there. Please be cognizant of cross posting across forums. We can leave both open for now to see what responses you might get, but we may merge them into one thread down the line.

Thank you so much for your kindness

If either is accepted, the cost of attending the meeting remains your responsibility. Some meetings, an acceptance might waive the meeting fee -- but for many being accepted for a poster comes with no financial benefit.
