Erken gebelik dönemindeki vitamin D eksikliği, anne ve fetüs sağlığını olumsuz etkileyebilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, İstanbul’da üçüncü basamak bir sağlık merkezine başvuran birinci trimester gebelerin vitamin D eksikliği prevalansını ve ilişkili faktörleri belirlemektir. Ocak 2020–Ocak 2024 tarihleri arasında antenatal kliniğe başvuran toplam 1105 gebe kadın retrospektif olarak analiz edildi. Vitamin D durumu yeterli, yetersiz ve eksik olarak sınıflandırıldı. Vitamin D eksikliği ayrıca hafif, orta ve ağır olarak kategorize edildi. Serum 25(OH)D düzeyleri yaş, mevsim ve aya göre değerlendirildi. Katılımcıların medyan yaşı 29 yıl (aralık 17–50) olup, medyan serum 25(OH)D düzeyi 11,1 ng/mL (ortalama ± SS: 13,7 ± 9,2) idi. Vitamin D eksikliği (</p></trans-abstract>

Deficiency during early pregnancy may adversely affect maternal and fetal health. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and related factors in pregnant women in their first trimester who attended a tertiary care center in Istanbul. A total of 1105 pregnant women who attended the antenatal clinic between January 2020 and January 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. Vitamin D status was classified as sufficient, insufficient, and deficient. Vitamin D deficiency was further categorized as mild, moderate and severe. Serum 25(OH)D levels were analyzed according to age, season, and month. The median age of participants was 29 years (range 17–50), and the median serum 25(OH)D level was 11.1 ng/mL (mean ± SD: 13.7 ± 9.2).
