Main outcomes included placental abnormalities (placenta previa, placental abruption, placenta accrete, and abnormal morphology of placenta) and placenta-related complications (gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, eclampsia, preterm birth, fetal distress, and fetal growth restriction (FGR)). Poisson regression modeling with restricted cubic splines of exact maternal age was used to estimate the absolute risk in both the IVF and non-IVF groups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The IVF group (n = 183 059) was more likely than the non-IVF group (n = 16 352 793) to present placenta previa (aRR: 1.87 [1.83\u20131.91]), placental abruption (aRR: 1.16 [1.11\u20131.21]), placenta accrete (aRR: 2.00 [1.96\u20132.04]), abnormal morphology of placenta (aRR: 2.12 [2.07 to 2.16]), gestational hypertension (aRR: 1.55 [1.51\u20131.59]), preeclampsia (aRR: 1.54 [1.51\u20131.57]), preterm birth (aRR: 1.48 [1.46\u20131.51]), fetal distress (aRR: 1.39 [1.37\u20131.42]), and FGR (aRR: 1.36 [1.30\u20131.42]), but no significant difference in eclampsia (aRR: 0.91 [0.80\u20131.04]) was found. The absolute risk of each outcome with increasing maternal age in both the IVF and non-IVF group presented two patterns: an upward curve showing in placenta previa, placenta accreta, abnormal morphology of placenta, and gestational hypertension; and a J-shape curve showing in placental abruption, preeclampsia, eclampsia, preterm birth, fetal distress, and FGR.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>IVF is an independent risk factor for placental abnormalities and placental-related complications, and the risk is associated with maternal age.
