Overview

Randomized trial examines the impact of maternal serum calcium on neonatal birth weight, suggesting important implications for fetal growth.

Key Points

  • This research aims to explore the relationship between maternal serum calcium levels and neonatal birth weight during term deliveries.
  • Assessed maternal serum calcium levels in participants at term delivery.
  • Evaluated neonatal birth weight as a primary outcome measure.
  • Higher maternal serum calcium levels were associated with increased neonatal birth weight, with an effect size of 0.5 kg (95% CI: 0.1-0.9; p=0.02).
  • Results indicate that calcium sufficiency during pregnancy may enhance fetal growth.
