ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the correlation between serum vitamin D and the risk of pre-eclampsia at the early, middle and late stages of pregnancy.Methods:Pregnant women who registered and delivered in Electric Power Teaching Hospital of Capital Medical University from August 2020 to July 2021 were included. Pregnant women with pre-eclampsia during pregnancy were selected as the case group (150 cases), while pregnant women without any complications after delivery were selected as the control group (600 cases) according to the 1∶4 matching principle (age, pre-pregnancy body mass index and last menstruation). The levels of serum vitamin D in differences stages of pregnancy between the two groups were compared. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between serum vitamin D levels and the risk of pre-eclampsia.Results:The levels of serum vitamin D at the early, middle and late stages of pregnancy in the case group were lower than those in the control group (14.32 ± 3.61) μg/L vs. (18.78 ± 4.73) μg/L, (15.06 ± 3.12) μg/L vs. (19.88 ± 4.25) μg/L, (16.04 ± 3.51) μg/L vs. (22.04 ± 5.63) μg/L, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). Taking pregnant women with adequate serum Vitamin D as a reference, and adjusting for confounding factors such as gain weight and primipara, the risk of pre-eclampsia in early stages pregnant women with serum Vitamin D serious deficiency, middle deficiency and deficiency was increased and the OR and 95% CI were 4.84(1.25 -31.42), 3.09(1.12 - 8.96), 1.48(1.12 - 13.05); the risk of pre-eclampsia in middle stages pregnant women with serum vitamin D serious deficiency, middle deficiency and deficiency was increased and the OR(95% CI) were 4.43(1.23 - 13.55), 2.22(1.05 - 6.78), 1.12(0.45 - 7.73); the risk of pre-eclampsia in late stages pregnant women with serum vitamin D serious deficiency, middle deficiency and deficiency was increased and the OR(95% CI) were 2.13(1.12 - 8.64), 1.76(1.02 - 4.98), 1.22(0.72 - 3.94). Conclusions:The level of serum vitamin D is associated with the risk of pre-eclampsia in pregnant women in the early, middle and late stages of pregnancy, and the risk of pre-eclampsia is significantly increase when the level of serum vitamin D is severely deficient or deficient during pregnancy.
