OBJECTIVE Measure serum PTH and 25(OH)D in a cross-sectional sample of pregnant women at 11th through 13th weeks' gestation to examine vitamin D status and consider implications. METHODS Observational: we retrieved residual sera stored at -20 °C after routine first trimester Down's syndrome screening, distributed over 12 months. METHODS 430 African American women and 586 Caucasian women. METHODS PTH and 25-hydroxy vitamin D [25(OH)D] immunoassays. RESULTS PTH medians were: 1·33 pmol/l (African American women); 1·20 pmol/l (Caucasian women) (t = 0·43, P = 0·7). Concentrations were highest in winter and decreased significantly in spring, fall, and summer. There was a direct PTH/weight relationship in Caucasian (t = 3·12, P < 0·002), but not African American women (t = 1·34, P = 0·18). Median 25(OH)D concentrations were 47·5 nmol/l (African American women) and 65 nmol/l (Caucasian women) (t = 13·7, P < 0·001). Concentrations were lowest in winter and rose significantly in spring, fall, and summer. Reciprocal 25(OH)D/weight relationships existed for both racial groups (t =-4·31 P < 0·001; t = 4·54, P < 0·001, respectively). Among 68 Caucasian women who smoked, median PTH and 25(OH)D concentrations were somewhat lower (P = ns). In separate regression models with PTH and 25(OH)D [dependent variables] and season, weight and smoking [independent variables], the only qualifying interactive term was in the Caucasian PTH model (season*1/weight). A regression model applied to adjusted scatter plots of PTH vs 25(OH)D indicated a weak relationship. CONCLUSIONS The PTH/25(OH)D relationship is weaker during early pregnancy than in non-pregnant adults, making it unreliable for estimating vitamin D sufficiency. A suitable reference point for sufficiency might be the maternal 25(OH)D level considered sufficient for adequate transfer to neonates.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010281 Parathyroid Hormone A polypeptide hormone (84 amino acid residues) secreted by the PARATHYROID GLANDS which performs the essential role of maintaining intracellular CALCIUM levels in the body. Parathyroid hormone increases intracellular calcium by promoting the release of CALCIUM from BONE, increases the intestinal absorption of calcium, increases the renal tubular reabsorption of calcium, and increases the renal excretion of phosphates.

D012044 Regression Analysis Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.

In the United States it is used for classification of federal government data on race and ethnicity.
