Cover Story: Maternal risk factors such as high body mass index and age are used to predict complications in pregnancy. However, many women who are not considered to be high-risk based on these factors still develop complications such as gestational diabetes or hypertensive disorders. Further, their baby may be born preterm or small/large for gestational age. We studied whether metabolites in maternal blood could be used to improve the prediction of these disorders. We built prediction models in a UK cohort from Bradford and performed validation in a different cohort from Cambridge. We found that including metabolomic markers in the models improved the prediction of pregnancy complications over the maternal risk factors, particularly gestational diabetes and large size for gestational age.
