Model development data set (70%); N=174 925 women with 1 singleton gestation with live or still birth among low‐to‐moderate risk women (2009–2019). Early‐onset preeclampsia defined as diagnosis <34 weeks’ gestational age; later‐onset preeclampsia defined as diagnosis ≥34 weeks’ gestational age. All aORs (95% CIs) from multivariable and multinomial logistic regression models based on model development data set. Model sample size is N=173 390 because n=1535 women are missing prepregnancy BMI, neighborhood deprivation index, or rate of gestational weight gain up to 20 weeks’ GA. aOR indicates adjusted odds ratio; BMI, body mass index; BPT, blood pressure trajectory; GA, gestational age; and HDP, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.
