| Abstract |
Vitamin D deficiency is common in Southeast Asia but there are limited data in pregnant women and neonates. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in cord blood of newborns and the association with maternal vitamin D status. A total of 94 pregnant women and their neonates were included. Clinical data and venous maternal blood for calcium, phosphate, albumin, alkaline phosphatase, magnesium, intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), and vitamin D (25OHD) were obtained on the day of labor. Cord blood was collected following delivery to evaluate vitamin D status of newborns. Mean serum maternal and cord blood 25OHD levels were 25.42 ± 8.07 and 14.85 ± 5.13 ng/mL. The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency (25OHD < 12 ng/mL) and insufficiency (25OHD 12-20 ng/mL) in cord blood of newborns were 20.2 and 69.1%, respectively. There was a significant correlation between maternal and cord blood vitamin D levels (r = 0.86; P < 0.001). The factors associated with cord blood vitamin D deficiency were low maternal 25OHD level and no vitamin D supplement during pregnancy. There is a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency among Thai neonates. Adequate prenatal vitamin D supplementation should be implemented as routine antenatal care. What is Known: • Vitamin D deficiency is prevalent in Southeast Asia. • There are widespread vitamin D deficiency among Thai populations including pregnant women. What is New: • There is a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency among Thai neonates. • The factors associated with cord blood vitamin D deficiency are low maternal vitamin D level and no vitamin D supplement during pregnancy. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 21 May 2023.
All research outputs
#8,300,273
of 24,832,302 outputs
Outputs from European Journal of Pediatrics
#1,694
of 4,219 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#132,216
of 334,487 outputs
Outputs of similar age from European Journal of Pediatrics
#37
of 52 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,832,302 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,219 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.5. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 334,487 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 52% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 52 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 30th percentile – i.e., 30% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
