Abstract :
OBJECTIVE:
To study the role of vitamin D supplementation in reducing the risk of pre eclampsia and to study fetomaternal outcome in supplemented group and non supplemented group at term pregnancy.
METHODS:
Group I included 100 pregnant women who received vitamin D supplementation in the form of oral cholecalciferol sachet 60,000IU weekly till 10 weeks along with routine iron, folic acid and calcium supplementation.
Group II comprised of 100 pregnant women who received only routine iron, folic acid and calcium supplementation.
At term role of vitamin D supplementation in prevention of pre eclampsia and feto–maternal outcome of the two groups were compared.
RESULTS: Vit D supplementation during pregnancy was associated with decreased risk of pre eclampsia at term. 22(11%) patients developed pre–eclampsia and out of 22 patients, 3 patients were vitamin D supplemented and 19 patients were not vitamin D supplemented. Incidence of GDM, preterm birth, cesarean section, NICU admission, tetany in newborn were not influenced by vitamin D supplementation.
CONCLUSIONS:
At present, vitamin D supplementation is not a part of antenatal care programs in India. For recommendations concerning routine vitamin D supplementation during pregnancy, further clinical trials are required with larger sample size.
