Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Women will be recruited to the MAMBO study when they attend maternity care visits at The Women’s or Frances Perry House prior to 20±4 completed weeks gestation. The initial contact will be made by the maternity care provider. Subsequent contact will be made by a dedicated trial nurse at the time of the standard maternity care visit. Written consent will be obtained.

To facilitate long-term follow-up of the MAMBO cohort, we are collaborating with Generation Victoria (GenV: https://genv.org.au). GenV is aiming to recruit parallel cohorts of newborns and their parents (estimated 160,000) in the state of Victoria (population 6.5 million), Australia, over two full years from October 2021. Its goal is to generate translatable evidence (prediction, prevention, treatments, services and policy) to improve the future wellbeing of all children and adults and to reduce future disease burden. Importantly, the GenV cohort only recruits parents and offspring after birth and will follow the child and parent/s indefinitely until the study closes (no end date set at this point) or withdrawal. GenV conducts retrospective and prospective linkage to clinical and administrative datasets and banking of retrospective and prospective clinical and GenV specific biosamples for the GenV cohorts.

Women will be informed about the Gen V study when they are recruited to the MAMBO study. They can make the decision whether or not they wish to participate in Gen V after the birth of their baby.

For the MAMBO study, the first clinical trial visit can occur the same day as the consent or within 4 weeks of recruitment, provided that the initial visit occurs before 24 completed weeks gestation. All MAMBO participants will be given information about GenV and asked whether 1) they consent to MAMBO sharing their contact details with GenV, ie so that MAMBO and GenV are aware of who is participating in both studies and GenV can contact MAMBO participants for recruitment to GenV and 2) they consent to MAMBO and GenV sharing information between the two studies. This optional data sharing consent will only apply to participants who are enrolled in both studies.

Study Visits:
First study visit: The study visit will occur at 20 weeks on the day of recruitment or within 4 weeks of recruitment. To minimize the burden on women, this could occur on the same day as the consent. The GenV study will be discussed with participants but recruitment to GenV will only occur after delivery. Study activities include:
• Documentation of maternal and (if available) paternal demographic details
• Collect medical history and medication history from the electronic medical record
• Maternal anthropometry: Height, weight, waist circumference, bioimpedance, blood pressure
• Collection of blood (non-fasting): Glucose, lipids, leptin, CRP, c-peptide, insulin.

Second study visit: The second study visit will occur at 36 weeks gestation ±4 weeks gestation. At this visit, subjects will be provided with a kit to collect maternal and baby mouth swabs within a few days of delivery. Study activities include:
• Collect medical history and medication history from the electronic medical record (including GTT, and maternity ultrasound results)
• Ultrasound data: Estimated fetal weight and abdominal circumference on all available obstetric ultrasounds that have been formally reported and appear in the electronic medical record.
• Maternal anthropometry: Height, waist circumference, bioimpedance, blood pressure
• Collection of blood (non-fasting): Glucose, lipids, leptin, CRP, c-peptide, insulin.

Data Collection Visit (peripartum):
• Cheek swab (for epigenetic analysis) will be taken from mother and baby according to the protocol. These samples will be self-collected before discharge from hospital using a kit supplied at 36 weeks gestation. Samples will be given to nursing staff and will be sent to pathology for long-term storage until all samples are collected.
• Collection of history discharge summary which includes the birth record.

Third study visit: The third study visit will occur at 12-18 months post-delivery. Study activities include:
• Collect medical history and medication history from the electronic medical record and/or patient
• Maternal anthropometry: Height, weight, waist circumference, bioimpedance, blood pressure
• Collection of blood (non-fasting): Glucose, lipids, leptin, CRP, c-peptide, insulin.
• Weight and height of children as recorded in the childhood development book (‘Baby book’)
• Neonatal anthropometry: Weight, length, abdominal circumference, body composition (using mid-arm circumference and triceps skinfold)(18)

In order to encourage attendance at this visit, parking and meal vouchers will be provided. Women will be provided with a comprehensive summary of their metabolic health and a plan for appropriate long-term follow-up. The Gen V team will have regular contact with participants between 0 and 12-18 months and will encourage women to attend the 12-18 month visit. If a face-to-face visit is not possible, a phone visit will be deemed acceptable.

Statistical methods / analysis
Summary characteristics of the study cohort will be described using means (with standard deviations) or medians (with interquartile ranges) for continuous variables, depending on the shape of the distribution, and numbers and percentages for categorical variables. Summary statistics for the outcome of interest (LGA/SGA offspring). It will also be provided for the whole group obesity (maternal BMI equal to or greater than 30kg/m2) and for obesity classes (Class 1 obesity BMI 30-34.9kg/m2; Class II obesity BMI 35-39.9kg/m2; Class III obesity BMI equal to or greater than 40.0kg/m2). It will be provided for whole diabetes (Y/N) and based on HbA1c in the third trimester (equal to or less than 5.5%, 5.6-7.5%, equal to or greater than 7.5%). It will be provided for whole group hypertension (Y/N) and based on hypertension class or number of anti-hypertensive agents used (Prehypertension equal to or less than 139/89mmHg, Grade 1 equal to or less than 159/99mmHg or 1 agent, Grade 2 equal to or greater than 160/100 or more than 1 agent).

Development of the predictive model: A predictive model for delivery of LGA offspring in obese women will be derived using data collected. Logistic regression analysis will be conducted to identify candidate predicators. After starting with the most comprehensive model that includes all potential risk factors (e.g., presence of pre-existing diabetes or gestational diabetes, previous LGA/SGA delivery, parity), a backward selection method will be performed to determine which combination of risk factors generates the most parsimonious predictive model. The number of candidate variables will be limited to data collected in the dataset. From this parsimonious model, model coefficients and the associated 95% confidence intervals (CI) will be extracted to derive the risk score for predicting the delivery of LGA/SGA offspring.

Internal validation: The final multivariable prediction model will be internally validated using bootstrapping (1,000 replications). Optimism in performance of the model, due to overfitting, will be estimated as the average of the difference in performance of the model in bootstrap sample and original dataset. The optimism then subtracted from the original performance measure (C-statistic of the original model) to provide optimism-corrected C-statistic of the final model. Shrinkage factor will be estimated as the percentage of the difference between C-statistics of the original model and the optimism-corrected C-statistics. Coefficients from the multivariable logistic regression will be multiplied by the shrinkage factor to recalibrate the final model allowing for more reliable predictions.

Ongoing statistical input will be provided by MISCH (Methods and Implementation Support for Clinical and Health research) at the University of Melbourne in collaboration with the statistics team supporting GenV.

Summary
Brief summary
In this project, we plan to recruit a cohort of women (the ‘MAMBO’ cohort) to establish the phenotype of women that are most likely to have a) large or small for gestational age offspring and b) new maternal metabolic disease (dysglycaemia, overweight/obesity, hypertension) that develops during pregnancy or within 12-18 months post-partum. These women will be recruited at 20 plus or minus 4 weeks gestation.

The overall aim of this project is to develop a model that identifies a maternal phenotype that best predicts a mothers risk of giving birth to a metabolically prone child.
The specific aims of this project are:
(i) Aim 1: To observe the metabolic changes during pregnancy and post-partum in a cohort of offspring and to identify metabolically prone offspring defined as:
• Offspring with birthweight equal to or greater than 90th centile on customized centile charts (large for gestational age; LGA)
• Offspring with birthweight equal to or less than 10th centile on customized centile charts (small for gestational age; SGA).
(ii) Aim 2: To observe the metabolic changes during pregnancy and post-partum in a cohort of mothers and to identify mothers with new metabolic disease that develops in pregnancy or 12-18 months post-partum defined as:
- A composite of dysglycaemia outcomes
- A composite of hypertension outcomes
- A composite of body weight outcomes

To facilitate long-term follow-up of the MAMBO cohort, we are collaborating with Generation Victoria (GenV: https://genv.org.au). GenV is aiming to recruit parallel cohorts of newborns and MAMBO neonates will be eligible to participate in the MAMBO follow-up.
