Investigation of maternal and fetal effects of vitamin D in pregnancies

AIM: Investigation of maternal and fetal effects of vitamin D in pregnancies DESIGN AND METHODS: In our study, we examine patients who gave birth in Sa？l？k Bilimleri üniversitesi Kartal Dr. Lütfi K？rdar Research and Education Hospital, date between March and May 2017. At the third trimester 25 (OH) vitamin D levels were measured. A total of 276 patients who did not use vitamin D drugs and giving a single live birth were included in the study. RESULTS: Vitamin D levels in 9 of the patients were above 30 ng / ml (3,26%), which was defined as normal level, 25 of the patients were inadequate between 20-30 ng / ml (9.06%) and the remaining 242 patients were below 20 ng / ml deficiency level. (87.68%). With vitamin D deficiency we can not show any significant correlation with preeclampsia, cesarean section ratio, delivery methods, preterm delivery, birth weight, birth weeks and polihydroamnios. There was a low but significant positive correlation between the level of vitamin D and the neonatal height and APGAR scores in the positive direction. (respectivly r: 0,133 0,135 and 0,123 p:0,027 0,025 and 0,042) CONCLUSION: We think that the use of vitamin D in pregnancies should be evaluated carefully. Because no significant increase in pregnancy complications is observed. We believe that it is better to use it routinely once the correct reference intervals for pregnancies have been established and the implications for pregnancy complications become clearer
