dc.description.abstractThe aim of this study was to investigate the effect of maternal serum Vitamin D levels on the elasticity of placenta. Seventy-four spontaneously conceived singleton pregnancies in their first trimester were enrolled into this study. Fifty-one of them had Vitamin D deficiency (<20 ng/mL), while 23 pregnancies had Vitamin D levels ≥20 ng/mL. The placental elasticity was measured by the transabdominal Point Shear Wave Elastography (pSWE) method. In each case, the mean of 10 consecutive measurements was accepted as the mean placental elasticity value. The mean pSWE values did not significantly differ between the Vitamin D deficient group and the control group (p >.05). Placental elasticity was not found to be different in the pregnancies with Vitamin D deficiency during the first trimester.IMPACT STATEMENTWhat is already known on this subject? The pSWE technique provides opportunity to determine the elasticity of any interested tissue. Placental elasticity has been found to be changed in inflammatory and fibrotic conditions such as in preeclampsia, intrauterine growth restriction or diabetes. On the other hand, Vitamin D deficiency is linked with several comorbidities such as autoimmune disorders, cancer and cardiovascular disorders. Vitamin D also plays a role in placental angiogenesis in the first trimester. Maternal Vitamin D levels are shown to be related with adverse pregnancy outcomes. What do the results of this study add? To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first assessing the association between Vitamin D levels and placental elasticity. Placental elasticity was not found to be changed by Vitamin D deficiency. What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? Our pilot study revealed that Vitamin D deficiency does not have any impact on placental elasticity in the first trimester. However, longitudinal studies concerning placental elasticity in subsequent trimesters are needed to support our findings. © 2020 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
