Abstract:

Vitamin D is a vitamin that is soluble in an important fat in ensuring calcium balance and bone health. Vitamin D deficiency is a major public health problem that affects the whole world. The aim of this study is to determine the levels of vitamin D of pregnancies in our region and to evaluate their relationship with possible pregnancy complications. Materials and Methods: This study, which was conducted in a cutting-edge type, included 175 pregnancies that apply for routine pregnancy examination to the female diseases and birth clinic. The demographic characteristics and obstetric stories of the pregnancies involved in the study were recorded. Maternal serum levels of vitamin D were compared with pregnancy results. Results: The average serum vitamin D value of pregnancies in the study was 11.16 ± 7.15 ng/ml and 57% of pregnancies. 7 had a severe vitamin D deficiency (< 10 ng/ml). There is no connection between the results of pregnancy and maternal vitamin D levels. The result: Despite the severe vitamin D deficiency of 57.7% in our study, there was no connection between maternal vitamin D levels and pregnancy results.

Vitamin D deficiency is an important public health problem affecting the whole world. The aim of this study is to determine the vitamin D level of pregnant women in our region and to evaluate the relationship with possible pregnancy complications. Material and Method: 175 pregnant women who were admitted to the obstetrics and gynecology outpatient clinic for routine pregnancy examination were included in this cross-sectional study. Demographic characteristics and obstetric history of the pregnant women involved in this study were recorded. Vitamin D levels and pregnancy outcomes were compared. Results: The average serum vitamin D value of the pregnant women involved in this study was 11.16 ± 7.15 ng/ml and 57.7% of the pregnant women had a level of vitamin D deficiency (<10 ng/ml). There was no correlation between pregnancy outcomes and maternal vitamin D levels. Conclusion: In our study, although levels of vitamin D deficiency was found to be 57. 7%, no correlation between maternal vitamin D levels and pregnancy outcomes was detected.
