About this study

Official title: Vitamin D Status, Its Determinants and IVF Outcomes Among Infertile Women in South-Western Sweden.

The goal of this prospective cohort study is to learn about the overall and seasonal prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency and its determinants in a population of women with infertility who will go through in vitro fertilization in Sweden. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • What is the prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency?
  • What are the determinants of this insufficiency? Participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire validated for dietary assessment of vitamin D intake and sun exposure habits and they will leave a blood sample for measurement of 25(OH)D concentration.

Researchers will compare the in vitro fertilization outcomes between women with vitamin D insufficiency and sufficiency to see if there is any difference.

Medical subject headings
Infertility, Female, Vitamin D Deficiency

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency (time frame: September 2020 - August 2021). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
