Abstract | Background: Vitamin D (VitD) is involved in lung development but its influence on respiratory distress syndrome of extremely preterm (EPT) infants have been little investigated. In this study, we examined the influence of low vitamin D status at birth on early respiratory outcomes of this vulnerable infant population. Methods: Cord blood 25(OH)D levels ≤ 75 nmol/L were considered as Low vitamin D levels. Stepwise logistic regression and classification regression-tree analyses were used and the primary outcome was the combined outcome of death or mechanical ventilation need by the end of the first week (death or MV DoL7) as a marker od RDS severity. Results: The mean (SD) GA and birth weight were 26 (1.4) weeks and 801 (212) gr, respectively; 81/109 (74%) infants had low 25(OH)D levels. Infants with low VitD levels had 25% higher initial FiO Conclusion: Low vitamin D levels at birth are associated with early adverse respiratory outcomes in infants with GA less 29 weeks. Further largest studies are needed to confirm this association. |
