Özet

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of severe maternal serum 25-OH vitamin D levels on adverse pregnancy outcomes in first trimester. Material and methods: Serum samples of 86 pregnant women in first trimester were collected prospectively from May 2017 to June 2017. Serum 25-OH vitamin D levels were analyzed by enzyme immunoassay method. Patients were classified according to maternal serum 25-OH vitamin D levels as group 1 (n = 34) <10 ng/ml and group 2 (n = 52) >10 ng/ml. The two groups were compared in terms of adverse pregnancy outcomes. Results: The mean 25-OH vitamin D levels of the total 86 pregnant women were 13.83 (6–48) ng/ml. 40% of the pregnant women had low level of 25-OH vitamin D levels (<10 ng/ml). The adverse pregnancy outcomes were significantly increased in group 1 (p<.018). Conclusions: Maternal serum 25-OH vitamin D levels <10 ng/ml is a risk factor for adverse pregnancy outcomes. 25-OH vitamin D levels should be screened in high-risk pregnant women and treated in case of deficiency.
