Vitamin D in newborn cord blood: what affects it and why it matters
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at vitamin D levels in a baby's umbilical cord blood at birth, and how those levels relate to the baby's health afterward. It helps doctors understand what influences vitamin D and whether it can predict future health issues.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial is testing whether giving preterm babies (born at 24 to 32 weeks) a high, carefully monitored dose of vitamin D right after birth helps improve their health compared to standard care.
This study looks at vitamin D levels in children who are very sick with lung infections in the ICU. It aims to see if low vitamin D might be linked to how severe the infection is.
This study tests how accurately a vitamin D blood test works with fresh versus frozen samples. Your blood samples will help researchers understand the best way to store and measure vitamin D levels.
This trial checks if low vitamin D levels can make a drop in blood pressure more likely or severe during a C-section with spinal anesthesia. It may help find ways to better monitor or prevent blood pressure problems during surgery.
This study looks at vitamin A levels in umbilical cord blood from babies born before 32 weeks of pregnancy. It hopes to see how vitamin A relates to the health of premature newborns.
This study looks at how gut bacteria (microbiome) and vitamin D levels in newborns may influence whether children develop allergies. It starts with newborn babies and aims to better understand what early factors could predict allergic diseases.
