  1. HDP, any hypertensive disorder of pregnancy; GH, gestational hypertension; PE, pre-eclampsia, PTB, preterm birth; sPTB, spontaneous preterm birth.
  2. aUPLC-HRC-MS signal (signal) with predictive value was described with retention time (RT) and exact mass (m/z, or n). The exact neutral mass (n) for a signal was calculated based on two or more than two adducts that were captured for the same molecule. Signals were identified or annotated via matching to an In-house Experimental Standards Library generated by acquiring data for over 1000 compounds under identical conditions to study samples, as well as to public database (including HMDB, NIST, Metlin). N/A, signal was not matched with any of the libraries or database.
  3. bBaseline model includes only covariates. HDP: BMI at first prenatal care visit, illegal drug use in the year before pregnancy, gravidity; GH: BMI at first prenatal care visit, illegal drug use in the year before pregnancy, gravidity; PE: illegal drug use in the year before pregnancy, gravidity; PTB: obesity, and illegal drug use in the year before pregnancy, gravidity; sPTB: gravidity.
  4. cOntology levels: PDa, annotation based on matching with public database via exact mass (MS) and experimental tandem mass (MS/MS), it could be the listed compound, or the isomer or derivatives of the listed compound; PDb, annotation based on matching with public database via MS and predict MS/MS; PDc, annotation for the listed compound based on matching with public database via MS and isotopic similarity or adducts; PDd annotation for listed compound based on matching with public database via MS; N/A, signal was not matched with any of the libraries or database.
