Introduction: Vitamin-D deficient pregnant women are more likely to have pregnancy complications like pre-eclampsia, intrauterine growth restriction, diabetes, preterm birth, etc. Associated factors include ethnicity, skin coverall, use of sun protection, overweight, vitamin-D intake, and smoking. The objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of Vitamin-D deficiency among pregnant women in a tertiary level hospital. Methods: This study descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital from September 15th, 2020 to November 15th, 2020 where the pregnant women visiting for an antenatal checkup in the first trimester were enrolled. Ethical clearance was taken from the Institutional Review Committee of Kathmandu Medical College (reference no. 1808202003). A convenience sampling method was used. All the data were entered in the Statistical Package of the Social Sciences version 20.0 and analyzed. Point estimate at 90% Confidence Interval was calculated along with frequency and percentage for binary data. Results: Among a total of 47 cases, vitamin-D deficiency was seen in 21 (44.6%) (32.67-56.52 at 90% Confidence Interval). Conclusions: The prevalence of vitamin-D deficiency was similar to other studies done in similar settings.

Background: In the recent years there has been an increased understanding of the role that vitamin D plays in regulation of cell growth, calcium absorption and immunity and its impact on the developing fetus and maternal health is of significant concern. This study aims at evaluating the Vitamin D status in pregnant women and their newborns.Methods: A cross sectional study was done on 100 pregnant females according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. At the time of delivery, maternal blood was collected, and newborn samples were taken from newborn side of umbilical cord and sent for analysis.Results: The prevalence of Vitamin D deficiency has been found to be 85% of pregnant females and 91% of the newborns. Only 5% of pregnant females and 1% of the newborns showed Vitamin D sufficiency. Maternal and newborn vitamin D levels show a positive correlation. Mean maternal and newborn Vitamin D levels were found to be 16.78±7.04 ng/mL and 11.29±5.75 ng/ml.Conclusions: Vitamin D deficiency is highly prevalent among pregnant women in north India. Low maternal vitamin D levels lead to vitamin D deficiency in the newborns also.

Introduction: Vitamin D deficiency is a common condition prevalent among both developed and developing countries where it is seen mostly in females. It has been linked to various skeletal and non-skeletal diseases. This study was done to find out the prevalence of Vitamin D deficiency and clinical features of deficient patients attending the outpatient department of a tertiary care hospital. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was done among the patients attending the outpatient department of a tertiary care hospital in Kathmandu, Nepal. The study was conducted from May 2019 to July 2019. The ethical approval was taken from the Institutional Review Committee (ref no. 310520113). Convenient sampling was done. The collected data was entered in Microsoft Excel and was analyzed in the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26. Results: Out of 481 participants, the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency was 335 (69.6%). Severe vitamin D deficiency was seen in 78 (16.2%) and insufficient vitamin D in 77 (16%) of the patients. The mean serum vitamin D concentration by gender was 22.38±17.07 ng/ml in males and 18.89±15.25 ng/ml in females. A total of 263 (54.6%) females and 72 (14.97%) males had vitamin D deficiency. The most common symptoms found in vitamin D deficiency patients were fatigue 187(55.8%), muscle cramps 131(39.1%), generalized myalgia 125(37.31%), bone and joint pain 111(33.13%) Conclusions: Vitamin D deficiency was prevalent especially in females and elderly people. Fatigability was present in more than half of the vitamin D deficient patients.

Objective: To determine the vitamin D deficiency in pregnant women presented at tertiary care Hospital with gestational diabetes. Methodology: This case control study has been conducted at gynecology department of Liaquat University of Medical and health Sciences, during one year from 2018 to 2019. Women having diagnosed as gestational diabetes, age more than 18 years and equal quantity of non-diabetic pregnant women were included in the study. A 5ml blood sample was taken from each patient and sent to the Hospital diagnostic laboratory to assess the vitamin D level. All the data was collected via self-made proforma. Data was analyzed by using SPSS version 20. Results: Total 80 women with gestational diabetes and of non-gestational diabetes were studied. Mean age of the women was 34.23±12.3 years and mean gestational age was 29.34±5.7 weeks. Vitamin D deficiency was significantly high in women having gestational diabetes (P=0.0001). There was no difference in vitamin D deficiency according to occupation, residence, SES, booking status and parity. Conclusion: Vitamin D deficiency was significantly high in women having gestational diabetes as compared to normal women. By early assessment of vitamin D deficiency and its management can be reduce the risk of gestational diabetes.

Introduction: The deficiency of vitamin D is major public health problem worldwide. It is deficiency of vitamin D level when blood serum which is below 30ng/ml. The deficiency is associated with various musculoskeletal diseases and autoimmune diseases. The early detection of deficiency plays important role to prevent those diseases. The aim of the study is to find the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency among adult population in a tertiary care hospital. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in tertiary care hospital, from 1st August 2017 to 31st December 2018 after ethical clearance from institutional review committee with registration number 02082017. Simple random sampling was done. Data was collected and entered in statistical package for social sciences. Point estimate at 95% Confidence Interval was calculated along with frequency and proportion for binary data. Results: Out of total patients, vitamin D deficiency was found among 283 (73.6%) patients at 95% of CI (68.6-78.6). Out of total female patients, 202 (52.61%) were deficient and out of total male patients, 81 (21.08%) were deficient. The mean age±SD of patients was 41.45±16.016 years. Conclusions: The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency was high compared to previous studies. Vitamin D deficiency was found to be higher in females than males.
