Aims: The importance of vitamin D in women's health is clear, and many studies have been conducted on the role of this vitamin in reproductive physiology. The main purpose of this examination was to define the association between serum vitamin D level and pregnancy success rate in an in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle on infertile women between the ages of 20-45. Methods: This retrospective cohort study was done between March 2020 and August 2023, including 134 infertile women with insufficient and 152 infertile women with sufficient vitamin D level. This study investigated the effect of sufficient vitamin D serum level on the IVF method's success. The threshold for determining insufficient vitamin D level was 30 ng/mL, measured by ELISA method seven days before embryo transfer. Results: Our results found that gestational sac and fetal heart rate were statistically significant higher than women with sufficient vitamin D level (p<0.05). Also, there was a statistically significant association between case and control groups regarding live births (p<0.05; 13.4% vs. 75.7%). Based on multiple logistic regression and adjusting for confounding variables, there was a significant difference between the groups in terms of pregnancy success rate (p<0.05). Conclusion: It is concluded that sufficient vitamin D levels increase the chance of success in IVF in Turkish infertile women.

“…Perhaps the most significant indicator is the steady increase in the proportion of caesarean sections performed [9,10]. In addition, the proportion of children born following ART (assisted reproduction technique) and the associated incidence of multiple pregnancies is on the increase [11][12][13]. Despite this, however, the proportion of multiple pregnancies currently (2021) in Czechia does not exceed 1.2% of all births [14].…”

Does advanced maternal age explain the longer hospitalisation of mothers after childbirth?

Background Fertility postponement, which has comprised the most significant reproductive trend in developed countries over the last few decades, involves a number of social, personal and health consequences. The length of stay (LOS) in hospital following childbirth varies considerably between countries. Czechia, where the fertility postponement process has been particularly dynamic, has one of the longest mean LOS of the OECD member countries. Objective We analyse the influence of the age of mothers on the LOS in hospital associated with childbirth. Data and methods We employed anonymised individual data provided by the General Health Insurance Company of the Czech Republic on women who gave birth in 2014. Kaplan-Meier survival plots and binary logistic regression were employed to identify factors associated with long stays (> = 7 days for vaginal births, > = 9 days for CS births). Results The impact of the maternal age on the LOS is U-shaped. A higher risk of a longer hospitalisation period for young mothers was identified for both types of birth (OR = 1.58, 95% CI 1.33–1.87, p˂0.001 for age less than 20, OR = 1.31, 95% CI 1.20–1.44, p˂0.001 for age 20–24 compared to 30–34). The risk of a longer stay in hospital increases with the increasing age of the mother (OR = 1.23, 95% CI 1.13–1.35, p˂0.001 for age 35–39, OR = 2.05, 95% CI 1.73–2.44, p˂0.001 for age 40+ compared to 30–34), especially with concern to vaginal births. Conclusion The probability of a long LOS increases significantly after the age of 35, especially in the case of vaginal births. Thus, the fertility postponement process with the significant change in the age structure of mothers contributes to the increase in health care costs associated with post-birth hospitalisation.
