The factors associated with cord blood vitamin D deficiency were low maternal 25OHD level and no vitamin D supplement during pregnancy.Ĭonclusion: There is a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency among Thai neonates. There was a significant correlation between maternal and cord blood vitamin D levels ( r = 0.86 P < 0.001). 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. Cord blood was collected following delivery to evaluate vitamin D status of newborns. 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. A total of 94 pregnant women and their neonates were included. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in cord blood of newborns and the association with maternal vitamin D status. Vitamin D deficiency is common in Southeast Asia but there are limited data in pregnant women and neonates.
