Analysis was performed on aggregated multicenter data and separately for data from each center. Embryos with no more than four chromosomal alterations were considered in the analysis, resulting in 3,040 euploids and 2,818 whole-chromosome and 697 segmental aneuploids.

A logistic model on the basis of morphokinetic data from the multicenter data set and regressed against type of aneuploidy displayed modest predictive performance on an independent test set (train-AUROC = 0.58; test-AUROC = 0.57). Predictive performance improved on the basis of data from a single center displaying adequate predictive performance on an independent test set from the same center (train-AUROC = 0.74; test-AUROC = 0.64). However, the predictive value diminished when tested on data from other centers (AUROC = 0.52–0.55). Finally, the presence of multinucleation and blastomere exclusion at the cleavage stage were associated with segmental aneuploidies.
