ObjectiveTo assess the relationships of maternal D-dimer trajectories with the risk of developing adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes (AMPOs). MethodsA prospective birth cohort study was conducted in China, and 7,095 women who had singleton birth were included. The latent class growth model was used to determine the maternal D-dimer trajectory. ResultsThree maternal D-dimer trajectories were identified: (1) slight increase (43.6%), (2) rapid rise (51.3%), (3) sustained high (5.1%). Compared to pregnant women with a slight increase in D-dimer trajectory, the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus, placenta previa, macrosomia, large for gestational age (LGA), and increased postpartum bleeding was significantly increased in those with a rapid rise trajectory (adjusted OR = 1.22, 2.00, 1.80, and 1.56, adjusted β = 15.92 ∼ 25.1 ml, respectively, P < 0.05), and women with a sustained high trajectory also demonstrated a relatively elevated risk of macrosomia and LGA (adjusted OR = 2.11 and 1.82, respectively, P < 0.05). While the odds of pregnancy-induced hypertension, low birth weight, and small for gestational age in pregnant women with the rapid rise D-dimer trajectory and fetal distress in those with sustained high trajectory exhibited a reduction (adjusted OR = 0.62, 0.38, 0.54, and 0.64, respectively, P < 0.05). ConclusionThis study highlights the influence of inappropriate maternal D-dimer trajectories on the risk of AMPOs.
