“…In a subset of pregnant women, an additional measurement of fetal brain activity and heart rate is performed at the Tübingen site during the OGTT (ethics board number 339/2010BO1). [35][36][37] Measurements are conducted with the specially developed fMEG system SARA II (SQUID Array for Reproductive Assessment; VSM MedTech, Port Coquitlam, Canada). This device contains 156 integrated primary and 29 reference sensors (SQUID coils) to capture magnetic signals elicited by the fetal brain (fMEG) and heart (fMCG) and was developed to provide information on adverse in utero condition, for example, arrhythmias.…”

IntroductionEven well-treated gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) might still have impact on long-term health of the mother and her offspring, although this relationship has not yet been conclusively studied. Using in-depth phenotyping of the mother and her offspring, we aim to elucidate the relationship of maternal hyperglycaemia during pregnancy and adequate treatment, and its impact on the long-term health of both mother and child.MethodsThe multicentre PREG study, a prospective cohort study, is designed to metabolically and phenotypically characterise women with a 75-g five-point oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) during, and repeatedly after pregnancy. Outcome measures are maternal glycaemia during OGTTs, birth outcome and the health and growth development of the offspring. The children of the study participants are followed up until adulthood with developmental tests and metabolic and epigenetic phenotyping in the PREG Offspring study. A total of 800 women (600 with GDM, 200 controls) will be recruited.Ethics and disseminationThe study protocol has been approved by all local ethics committees. Results will be disseminated via conference presentations and peer-reviewed publications.Trial registration numberThe PREG study and the PREG Offspring study are registered with Clinical Trials (ClinicalTrials.gov identifiers: NCT04270578, NCT04722900).
