“…Calcium and magnesium have a role in the regulation of myometrial activity and maternal serum levels decrease with advancing gestational weeks (7). In the second trimester, premature uterine contraction in women may be related to the homeostasis of calcium-phosphorusmagnesium (8). Maternal calcium and vitamin 25 (OH) D levels were found to be associated with PC and it was concluded that the placenta is important in vitamin D regulation (9,10).…”

Aim:The aim of our study is to examine early and late preterm placental calcification (PPC) and compare their relationship with maternal calcium, magnesium and 25(OH) D levels and adverse obstetric outcomes. Material and Method:This prospective cohort study was conducted by examining the pregnant women at their 24th to 36th gestational weeks who applied to the Gynecology Department of Okmeydani Training and Research Hospital. In this study, 207 patients were selected as the study group.Results: When the early and late PPC groups were compared, rates of low birth weight (LBW) was statistically higher in the early PPC group. (p=0.022) Oligohydramnios was more common in the early and late PPC patients compared to non-PPC pregnant women. However, oligohydramnios and LBW were not found statistically significant difference in logistic regression analysis. There was also no statistically significant difference in maternal calcium, magnesium and vitamin D levels between the groups. Conclusion:Preterm placental calcifications might be associated with fetal and maternal complications. But the diagnosis of PPC alone is not effective in determining fetal prognosis.
