A Comparison of the Changes in Gestational Weight, Body Mass Index, and Serum Vitamin D Level in Gestational Diabetes Mellitus Patients Complemented with Vitamin D in Contrast to Those Who Did Not Receive the Supplement: A Protocol for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomised Controlled Trials

Abstract: <b><i>Aims:</i></b> To date, it is largely unknown how body mass index (BMI), gestational weight (GW), and stored vitamin D (25(OH)D) levels change in the vitamin D-supplemented gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) patients, irrespective of their pre-pregnancy BMI. Therefore, to study this association, a prospective systematic review and meta-analysis protocol is proposed here. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Primarily, different databases (PubMed, Embase and Scopus) will … Show more

“…Likewise, the chances of bias can be judged for continuous outcomes, for example; in systematic review articles intending to judge RCTs that tested the changes in gestational weight or body mass index in prenatal vitamin D receiving GDM patients [4]. The influence of missingness of such outcomes increases with the proportion of missing data in these trials [1].…”

“…Vitamin D is a fat-soluble hormone, available from diet and supplements in two inactive forms: D2 (ergocalciferol) and D3 (cholecalciferol). [22][23][24] The D3 form is additionally produced in the skin on exposure to the sun. [22,23] Upon hydroxylation of pre-vitamin D in the liver, the main circulatory form of vitamin D (bound to albumin or in a free state), 25hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) is produced.…”

“…[13,3234] Besides, a protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis exists that intends to determine how the intervention might influence the various maternal health parameters like body mass index, gestational weight, and 25(OH)D levels. [24] However, best known to this author, the risk of attrition in these trials has not been systematically explored. Therefore, to study this poorly explored area of the GDM literature, this systematic review protocol is proposed here.…”
