Previous studies showed conflicting results regarding peripheral vitamin D levels in ankylosing spondylitis (AS). We performed this systemic review and meta-analysis to explore whether vitamin D may influence AS process.
Articles published until March 2022 were searched in databases as follows: PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. The present study included cross-sectional and case-control studies regarding vitamin D levels in patients with AS. Studies were excluded according to the following exclusion criteria: (1) we excluded studies which did not provide sufficient information regarding the comparison of vitamin D levels in AS patients and healthy controls (HC). Vitamin D levels in the two group studies should be reported or could be calculated in included studies; (2) meta-analysis, reviews and case reports. STATA 12.0 software was used to make a meta-analysis. Standard mean differences (SMDs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were computed as effect size.
The present meta-analysis showed no significant difference in peripheral 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25OHD) levels between AS and healthy controls (HCs) in Caucasians with a random effects model [SMD: -0.68, 95% CI (-1.90, 0.54)]. Patients with AS had lower peripheral 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) levels compared with HC with a random effects model [SMD: -0.45, 95% CI: (-0.70, -0.20)]. Patients with AS had higher peripheral C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) levels compared with HC in Caucasian population with random effects models [CRP: SMD: 1.08, 95% CI: (0.78, 1.37); ESR: SMD: 0.86, 95% CI: (0.39, 1.34)]. However, no significant difference in alkaline phosphatase (ALP), parathyroid hormone (PTH) or calcium levels were indicated between AS and HC in Caucasian with random effects models [ALP: SMD: 0.07, 95% CI: (-0.41, 0.55); PTH: SMD: -0.15, 95% CI: (-0.56, 0.26); calcium: SMD: -0.06, 95% CI: (-0.39, 0.26)].
In conclusion, the study showed an inverse association between 25OHD and AS, which suggests that vitamin D may have a protective effect on AS. ESR and C-reactive protein (CRP) are important biomarkers for AS.
既往研究关于强直性脊柱炎(AS)患者外周血维生素D水平的结果相互矛盾。我们进行了这项系统评价和荟萃分析,以探讨维生素D是否会影响AS的病情发展。
在以下数据库中检索截至2022年3月发表的文章:PubMed、科学网和谷歌学术。本研究纳入了关于AS患者维生素D水平的横断面研究和病例对照研究。根据以下排除标准排除研究:(1)排除未提供足够信息以比较AS患者和健康对照(HC)维生素D水平的研究。纳入研究应报告或可计算两组研究中的维生素D水平;(2)荟萃分析、综述和病例报告。使用STATA 12.0软件进行荟萃分析。计算标准平均差(SMD)和95%置信区间(CI)作为效应量。
本荟萃分析显示,在采用随机效应模型的白种人中,AS患者与健康对照(HC)在外周血1,25-二羟维生素D3(1,25OHD)水平上无显著差异[SMD:-0.68,95%CI(-1.90,0.54)]。采用随机效应模型时,与HC相比,AS患者外周血25-羟维生素D(25OHD)水平较低[SMD:-0.45,95%CI:(-0.70,-0.20)]。在白种人群中,采用随机效应模型时,与HC相比,AS患者外周血C反应蛋白(CRP)和红细胞沉降率(ESR)水平较高[CRP:SMD:1.08,95%CI:(0.78,1.37);ESR:SMD:0.86,95%CI:(0.39,1.34)]。然而,在采用随机效应模型的白种人中,AS与HC在碱性磷酸酶(ALP)、甲状旁腺激素(PTH)或钙水平上无显著差异[ALP:SMD:0.07,95%CI:(-0.41,0.55);PTH:SMD:-0.15,95%CI:(-0.56,0.26);钙:SMD:-0.06,95%CI:(-0.39,0.26)]。
总之,该研究显示25OHD与AS之间存在负相关,这表明维生素D可能对AS具有保护作用。ESR和C反应蛋白(CRP)是AS的重要生物标志物。
