Maternal exposure to multiple mycotoxins and adverse pregnancy outcomes: a prospective cohort study in rural Bangladesh.

ABSTRACT: There is limited and inconsistent evidence, primarily from cross-sectional studies, linking mycotoxins to adverse birth outcomes. This study investigates the potential role of maternal dietary exposure to multiple mycotoxins in the development of several adverse pregnancy and birth outcomes. We analyzed data from 436 singleton pregnancies enrolled in a prospective cohort study in the rural Habiganj district, Bangladesh, between July 2018 and November 2019. Thirty-five urinary mycotoxin biomarkers were quantified using liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry and used to estimate dietary mycotoxin exposure. Multivariable regression models, adjusted for potential confounding and clustering, were fitted to assess the associations between maternal exposure to frequently occu
