TABLE 2.

Maternal urinary CTX in EP and LP and conditional change in CTX from EP to LP, in all mothers in the MAVIDOS (Maternal Vitamin D Osteoporosis Study) trial CTX substudy with a measure of EP or LP CTX, and in the placebo group and 1000 IU cholecalciferol–supplemented groups separately; and in all mothers with a measure of both EP and LP CTX, and in the placebo group and 1000 IU cholecalciferol–supplemented groups separately1

All Placebo 1000 IU cholecalciferol/d

1Values are median [IQR] or mean ± SD unless otherwise indicated. Change in CTX was calculated with a regression model with 34-wk CTX as the dependent variable and adjusting for 14-wk CTX; absolute change in CTX is also shown. Participants were further stratified according to vitamin D sufficiency (≥50 nmol/L or insufficiency < 50 nmol/L) in EP. EP = 14 weeks of gestation; LP = 34 weeks of gestation; ΔCTX = conditional change in CTX (LP CTX adjusted for EP CTX), in SD. N/A, not applicable; CTX, C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen; EP, early pregnancy; LP, late pregnancy; 25(OH)D, 25-hydroxyvitamin D.

2 P values represent outcomes of tests for differences between the placebo group and vitamin D–supplemented group [Rank Sum tests for LP CTX, t tests for Δ CTX (z score)].
