*

Data are presented as median (interquartile range) or n (%). HIV denotes human immunodeficiency virus, IVF in vitro fertilization.

Information on medical conditions was obtained from both patient interview and medical record review.

The body-mass index (BMI) is the weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters. Missing height prevents BMI calculation of 5 in the IVF test set, 21 in the novice test set, 60 in the main test set, and 230 in the combined training sets.

§

NA denotes not applicable because gestational age was assigned by known fertilization date in the IVF test set.

Chronic hypertension is defined as ever having a diagnosis of hypertension outside of pregnancy or a new diagnosis in the current pregnancy prior to 20 weeks of gestation.

Diabetes includes both pregestational and gestational diabetes.

**

Asthma is defined as ever having received the diagnosis of asthma.

††

Two women who conceived by IVF had blind sweeps collected with the Butterfly iQ device but not a commercial ultrasound machine; hence, they were not able to be included in the IVF test set.
