Prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in cord blood of newborns and the association with maternal vitamin D status.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Vitamin D deficiency is common in Southeast Asia but there are limited data in pregnant women and neonates. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in cord blood of newborns and the association with maternal vitamin D status. A total of 94 pregnant women and their neonates were included. Clinical data and venous maternal blood for calcium, phosphate, albumin, alkaline phosphatase, magnesium, intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), and vitamin D (25OHD) were obtained on the day of labor. Cord blood was collected following delivery to evaluate vitamin D status of newborns. Mean serum maternal and cord blood 25OHD levels were 25.42 ± 8.07 and 14.85 ± 5.13 ng/mL. The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency (25OHD < 12 ng/mL) and insufficiency (25OHD 12-20 ng/mL) in cord blood of newborns were 20.2 and 69.1%, respectively. There was a significant correlation between maternal and cord blood vitamin D levels (r = 0.86; P < 0.001). The factors associated with cord blood vitamin D deficiency were low maternal 25OHD level and no vitamin D supplement during pregnancy.
conclusionThere is a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency among Thai neonates. Adequate prenatal vitamin D supplementation should be implemented as routine antenatal care. What is Known: • Vitamin D deficiency is prevalent in Southeast Asia. • There are widespread vitamin D deficiency among Thai populations including pregnant women. What is New: • There is a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency among Thai neonates. • The factors associated with cord blood vitamin D deficiency are low maternal vitamin D level and no vitamin D supplement during pregnancy.
