Abstract

Background: The serum level of vitamin D on preterm delivery has been investigated in a number of studies, and this relationship is still debatable. The present study was conducted to systematically review the studies conducted in the region of the relationship between serum levels of vitamin D in mothers and preterm delivery.
Methods: In this systematic review to find related studies, the English databases PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science, SID, and Magiran, which were published from 2015 to 2023. The quality of the articles was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa checklist.
Findings: A qualitative evaluation of the remaining 55 articles was performed after reviewing the title, abstract, and text. Finally, 9 articles were included in the systematic review. According to the results of the studies, there is a relationship between the serum level of vitamin D and premature birth.
Conclusion: Low serum levels of vitamin D are significantly associated with an increased risk of preterm delivery.
