Effects of vitamin D on maternal and fetal complications
Objective To analyze the effects of vitamin D on maternal and fetal complications.Methods 300 pregnant women were included for study,all with vitamin D deficiency,and were divided into a control group(150 cases,given routine management)and an experimental group(150 cases,given vitamin D supplementation on the basis of routine management)according to random allocation.The incidence of hypocalcemia,osteoporosis,fetal growth retardation,serum calcium and bone mineral density levels were compared between the two groups,and the correlation between vitamin D levels and the incidence of maternal and fetal complications was analyzed.Results The incidence rates of hypocalcemia,osteoporosis and fetal growth retardation in the experimental group were 4.67%,6.00%and 6.67%,which were lower than 12.67%,18.00%and 20.67%in the control group,with significant difference(P<0.05).The levels of serum calcium and bone mineral density in the experimental group were(2.62±1.21)mmol/L and(2.43±1.13)g/cm2,which were higher than(1.08±0.88)mmol/L and(1.02±1.48)g/cm2 in the control group,with significant differences(P<0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that vitamin D levels were negatively correlated with the incidence of maternal and fetal complications(r=-0.548,P<0.05).Conclusion Vitamin D deficiency will increase the incidence of complications such as hypocalcemia,osteoporosis and fetal growth retardation in pregnant women.Pregnant women need to receive regular prenatal examinations to understand their vitamin D,serum calcium and bone mineral density levels,and reasonably supplement vitamin D to provide certain protection for the life and health of pregnant women and fetuses.
