Improving maternal and PeRinatal Outcomes aMong wOmen with and without obEsity (PROMOTE): protocol for a prospective pregnancy cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The Improving maternal and PeRinatal Outcomes aMongst wOmen with and without obEsity (PROMOTE) cohort study is a prospective pregnancy cohort study that seeks to test current assumptions and understanding of cardiometabolic disease and risk during pregnancy. The demographic shift among pregnant women, including older age and increasing obesity, has resulted in an increased risk of cardiometabolic complications during pregnancy and over the lifetime for mother and offspring. Unfortunately, lifestyle interventions during pregnancy have not yet produced clinically meaningful outcomes. Furthermore, cohort studies in pregnancy are costly and have selection bias due to study burden and attrition. There is an urgent need for high-quality observational data collected pragmatic
