ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
Perinatal asphyxia is the main risk factor for mortality and morbidity in neonates and neurological disorders in survived infants. We compared the neonatal and maternal 25 (OH) vitamin D levels in neonates with/without asphyxia. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
This cross-sectional research was done on 229 neonates (including 158 neonates [69%] without asphyxia [control group] and 71 neonates [31%] with asphyxia [case group]) from 2020 to 2023 using the available sampling method. 25 (OH) Vit D levels in mothers and neonates were assessed and compared in the 2 groups. The data collection instrument was a researcher-made checklist, containing the maternal and neonatal characteristics and laboratory evaluations. Data were analyzed by SPSS 23 using the t-test.RESULTS:
The mean maternal 25 (OH) Vit D levels in the case and control groups were 16.34±11.87 and 22.80±12.67âng/mL, respectively. The mean neonatal 25 (OH) Vit D levels in the case and control groups were respectively 12.13±8.62 and 19.55±11.62âng/mL (Pâ=â0.002). The case group showed severer maternal and neonatal 25 (OH) Vit D deficiency (Pâ=â0.000) compared to the control group.CONCLUSIONS:
Neonatal and maternal 25 (OH) Vit D deficiency can increase the risk of perinatal asphyxia. Therefore, administration of 25 (OH) Vit D supplements to pregnant mothers may reduce the incidence of asphyxia.Palavras-chave
