Abstract

Abstract We aimed to explore the associations of neonatal hypocalcemia with neonatal vitamin D deficiency and maternal vitamin D deficiency. A comprehensive systematic literature search using PubMed and web of science was performed for relevant articles from inception to February 17th, 2023. We used odds ratio (OR) and 95 % confidence interval (CI) as effect sizes for our meta-analysis. Publication bias was evaluated using funnel plot, Begg’s test, and Egger regression test. All the statistical analyses were performed using Stata 14.0. A total of 11 studies were included and analyzed, including 452 newborns with hypocalcemia and 2,599 newborns with normal serum calcium level. Our research results revealed that vitamin D deficiency in newborns may be related to the higher prevalence of hypocalcemia (OR: 2.87, 95 % CI: 1.17–7.04). In addition, maternal vitamin D deficiency might also be a risk factor for neonatal hypocalcemia (OR: 7.83, 95 % CI: 3.62–16.92). There was a significant correlation between vitamin D deficiency and neonatal hypocalcemia.This meta-analysis indicates that newborns with vitamin D deficiency have a higher risk of hypocalcemia, and maternal vitamin D level play a crucial role in this association. Vitamin D supplementation may have a positive effect in reducing the prevalence of neonatal hypocalcemia.
