Implication

Case-control study evaluates vitamin D levels in eclamptic women, suggesting significant deficiency compared to controls.

Key Points

  • The study aims to compare serum vitamin D levels between eclamptic and normotensive pregnant women.
  • Case-control design with 120 pregnant women total.
  • 60 women with eclampsia and 60 normotensive controls.
  • Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels measured using chemiluminescent immunoassay.
  • Demographic and clinical data were also collected.
  • Women with eclampsia had lower median serum vitamin D levels (19.6 ng/mL) compared to controls (24.2 ng/mL).
  • Significant vitamin D deficiency observed in 55.0% of eclamptic women vs. 25.0% in controls.
  • Higher parity, weight, BMI, and blood pressure noted in eclamptic women compared to controls.
