This study was aimed to assess maternal vitamin D status during pregnancy and determine the association between maternal 25(OH) D levels with risk of preeclampsia (PE).
A cross-sectional study was conducted with 172 pregnant women recruited from JPMC between January and December 2017 who were divided as normotensive (n=80) and pre eclamptic (n=92) groups. Blood pressure was recorded at 20 and 32 weeks of gestation. Five ml of blood sample was collected at 20 weeks of gestation to assess the vitamin D levels by commercially available ELISA assay.
PE group had a significantly higher systolic (p<0.001) and diastolic (p<0.001) blood pressure at 20 weeks of gestation. Vitamin D levels were reported to be significantly lower (p<0.001) in the PE group (17.97±9.38 ng/ml) as compared to normotensive group (42.18±25.17 ng/ml). A strong negative correlation of Vitamin D levels with systolic blood pressure (r=-0.428; p<0.001) and diastolic blood pressure (r= 0.375; p<0.001) was found.
This study found a strong relationship between low vitamin D levels and pre-eclamptic manifestation.
本研究旨在评估孕期母亲的维生素D状况,并确定母亲25(OH)D水平与先兆子痫(PE)风险之间的关联。
进行了一项横断面研究,从2017年1月至12月在卡拉奇真纳大学医院(JPMC)招募了172名孕妇,她们被分为血压正常组(n = 80)和先兆子痫组(n = 92)。在妊娠20周和32周时记录血压。在妊娠20周时采集5毫升血样,通过市售酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)法评估维生素D水平。
先兆子痫组在妊娠20周时收缩压(p<0.001)和舒张压(p<0.001)显著更高。据报告,先兆子痫组的维生素D水平(17.97±9.38纳克/毫升)与血压正常组(42.18±25.17纳克/毫升)相比显著更低(p<0.001)。发现维生素D水平与收缩压(r = -0.428;p<0.001)和舒张压(r = 0.375;p<0.001)呈强负相关。
本研究发现低维生素D水平与先兆子痫表现之间存在密切关系。
