Aim: Vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency are common public health problems throughout the world. Besides important multisystemic metabolic effects, vitamin D is necessary for a healthy skeletal system. Various reasons cause vitamin D deficiency in infancy, and supplementation is one of the treatment options. A nationwide supplementation program has been implemented in Turkey since 2005. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of this program in our city.

Methods: All infants aged between one and twelve months who were referred to the pediatric outpatient clinics of the hospital and tested for serum 25-(OH)-D levels between January 1, 2015 and December 31, 2016 were enrolled in the study. Patients with chronic illnesses were excluded. Data was obtained retrospectively from the hospital registry. In accordance with the criteria of American Academy of Pediatrics, patients were divided into three groups based on serum 25-(OH)-D levels as follows: 25-(OH)-D<15 ng/ml were considered deficient, 15.1<25-(OH)-D<20 ng/ml were considered insufficient and sufficiency was defined as 25-(OH)-D>20 ng/ml.

Results: The study group consisted of 265 infants. The mean age of the group was 7.53 (2.75) months. Approximately 15% (n=39) of the study group had vitamin D deficiency, 10.5% (n=28) had insufficiency and Vitamin D levels of 74.4% (n=198) of the group were sufficient. Serum 25 (OH) D levels did not differ with gender, age or season (P=0.12, P=0.65 and P=0.09, respectively). Vitamin D levels were sufficient in 78.5% (n=150) of the urban area residents and 69.6% (n=32) of the rural area residents, between which there was no significant difference (P=0.32). 

Conclusion: Our results established that supplementation is one of the ways to avoid limitations affecting serum vitamin D levels. Supplementation with 400 IU/day Cholecalciferol is provided during the first year of life by the Turkish Ministry of Health, which we believe rendered gender, age, time of measurement and residential area insignificant in terms of 25(OH) D levels. This supplementation program may solve the problem of vitamin D insufficiency or deficiency among disadvantaged groups.

Amaç: D vitamini eksikliği tüm dünyada yaygın bir halk sağlığı sorunudur. Vitamin D pek çok sistemi ilgilendiren etkilerinin yanında iskelet sistemi sağlığı için gereklidir. Bebeklik döneminde çeşitli nedenlere bağı olarak D vitamini eksikliği gelişebilir. Yeterlilik sağlamanın yollarından biri destek tedavisidir. Türkiye’de 2005 yılından beri tüm bebekleri kapsayan ulusal bir kampanya ile vitamin desteği ücretsiz olarak sağlanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada amaç kampanyanın ilimizdeki etkinliğini saptamaktır.

Yöntemler: Çalışmaya hastanenin Çocuk Sağlığı ve Hastalıkları polikliniklerine 1 Ocak 2015- 31 Aralık 2016 tarihleri arasında başvuran, 1-12 aylıkken 25- hidroksi- D düzeyi çalışılan tüm sağlıklı bebekler dahil edilmiştir. Altta yatan kronik hastalığı olanlar çalışma dışı bırakılmıştır. Veriler kayıt sisteminden geriye dönük olarak elde edilmiştir. Katılımcılar Amerikan Pediatri Akademisi’nin belirlemiş olduğu kriterlere dayanarak serum 25 (OH) D düzeylerine göre gruplara ayrılmıştır. Bu gruplar sırası ile “eksiklik: <15 ng/ml”, “yetmezlik: 15,1-20 ng/ml” ve “yeterlilik: >20 ng/ml” olarak belirlenmiştir.

Bulgular: Çalışmada 265 bebek değerlendirilmiştir. Yaş ortalaması 7,53 (2,75) aydır. Bebeklerin %14,7’sinde (n=39) D vitamini eksikliği, %10,5’inde (n=28) yetersizliği saptanmıştır. Grubun %74,4’ünde (n=198) yeterli düzey sağlanmıştır. Cinsiyete, yaşa veya ölçüm yapılan mevsime göre gruplar arasında 25 (OH) düzeyleri açısından anlamlı fark saptanmamıştır (sırasıyla P=0,12; P=0,65 ve P=0,09). Kentsel bölge sakinlerinin %78,5’inde (n=150), kırsal kesimde yaşayanların %69,9’unda (n=32) 25 (OH) D düzeyleri yeterli olup, aralarında anlamlı fark saptanmamıştır (P=0,32).

Sonuç: Vitamin desteği D vitamini eksikliğini kolaylaştıracak etmenlerin yok edilmesini sağlayan etkin bir yoldur. Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Sağlık Bakanlığı tarafından sağlanan günlük 400 IU dozundaki Kolekalsiferol desteği ile cinsiyet, yaş, ölçüm zamanı, yaşanılan yer gibi olumsuz etki oluşturabilecek değişkenler bertaraf edilebilmektedir. Aynı uygulamanın hassas gruplar için de uygulanabileceği düşünülmektedir.
