Case-control study finds a new vitamin D cutoff of 14.34 ng/mL improves diagnostic performance for asymptomatic fibroids.

Lower serum vitamin D levels correlate with increased risk of asymptomatic fibroids, influencing prevention strategies.
Diagnostic performance of vitamin D as a biomarker was evaluated using logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic curve.
Both unmatched and matched groups showed significant differences in serum vitamin D levels between asymptomatic patients and controls.
The new cut-off threshold of 14.34 ng/mL achieves better sensitivity and specificity than current vitamin D deficiency guidelines.

Tang et al. (2025) studied this question.
