Abstract
BACKGROUND: Placental anomalies (placenta praevia, placental abruption, morbidly adherent placenta and cord insertion anomalies) are associated with maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. It has been suggested these might be more prevalent in pregnancies after assisted reproduction technology (ART). OBJECTIVES: To determine whether ART singleton pregnancies are associated with an increased risk of placental anomalies compared with non-ART singleton pregnancies. SEARCH STRATEGY: MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL, Web of Science and Scopus (January 2018). SELECTION CRITERIA: Cohort studies reporting placental anomalies in ART and non-ART singleton pregnancies. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: We report pooled odds ratios (OR) for the comparisons: (1) ART versus SC (spontaneously conceived), (2) ART versus non-ART (unspecified), (3) FET-ART (frozen-embryo transfer) versus SC, (4) ART versus non-ART (subfertile patients). Study quality was assessed using a modified Newcastle -Ottawa scale. MAIN RESULTS: 33 low/moderate quality studies evaluated 124 215 ART and 6 054 729 non-ART singleton pregnancies. Risk of placenta praevia, placental abruption and morbidly adherent placenta was higher in ART than SC pregnancies: odds ratio (OR) (OR 3.76, 95% CI 3.09-4.59); (OR 1.87, 95% CI 1.70-2.06) and (OR 2.27, 95% CI 1.79-2.87) respectively. Risk of placenta praevia and placental abruption was higher in ART than in non-ART (subfertile patients): (OR 2.51, 95% CI 2.12-2.98) and (OR 1.61, 95% CI 1.33-1.95) respectively. Results were similar when comparing ART with unspecified non-ART pregnancies. Risk of placenta praevia was higher, but not significantly so, in FET-ART than in SC pregnancies (OR 2.42, 95% CI 0.63-9.30). CONCLUSIONS: Singleton ART pregnancies are associated with an increased risk of placental anomalies compared with non-ART singleton pregnancies. TWEETABLE ABSTRACT: A review of over 6 million singleton pregnancies finds increased risk of placental anomalies after ART.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
