Erratum of the study - June 2016 - charts with the following text
The new pooled analysis showed the effect of vitamin D is larger with the same direction for
- circulating 25-OHD (mean difference [MD], 70.69 vs. 66.46 nmol/L),
- preeclampsia (relative risk [RR], 0.89 vs. 0.88),
- gestational diabetes (RR, 1.08 vs. 1.05),
- low birth weight (RR, 0.84 vs. 0.72),
- preterm birth (RR, 1.30 vs. 1.26),
- birth weight (MD,108.62 vs. 107.60 g), and
- birth length (MD, 0.79 vs. 0.30 cm).
The new pooled analysis shows that the effect of vitamin D is smaller with the same direction for small for gestation age (RR, 0.69 vs. 0.78).

Many of the RCT studied used very small doses of D3 or used D2 - so could not be expected to get high enough levels to make a difference. See BOLDED references for details

Objective: To assess the effects of vitamin D supplementation during pregnancy on obstetric outcomes and birth variables.
Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
Setting; Not applicable.
Patient(s): Pregnant women and neonates.
Intervention(s): PubMed and 5 other research databases were searched through March 2014 for RCTs evaluating vitamin D supplementation ± calcium/vitamins/ferrous sulfate vs. a control (placebo or active) during pregnancy.
Main Outcome Measure(s): Measures were: circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), small for gestational age (SGA), low birth weight, preterm birth, birth weight, birth length, cesarean section. Mantel-Haenszel fixed-effects models were used, owing to expected scarcity of outcomes. Effects were reported as relative risks and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
Result(s): Thirteen RCTs (n = 2,299) were selected. Circulating 25(OH)D levels were significantly higher at term, compared with the control group (mean difference: 66.5 nmol/L, 95% CI 66.2–66.7).
Birth weight and birth length were significantly greater for neonates in the vitamin D group; mean difference:
- 107.6 g (95% CI 59.9–155.3 g) and
- 0.3 cm (95% CI 0.10–0.41 cm), respectively.
Incidence of
- preeclampsia,
- GDM,
- SGA,
- low birth weight,
- preterm birth, and
- cesarean section
were not influenced by vitamin D supplementation.
Across RCTs, the doses and types of vitamin D supplements, gestational age at first administration, and outcomes were heterogeneous.
Conclusion(s): Vitamin D supplementation during pregnancy was associated with increased circulating 25(OH)D levels, birth weight, and birth length, and was not associated with other maternal and neonatal outcomes. Larger, better-designed RCTs evaluating clinically relevant outcomes are necessary to reach a definitive conclusion.
