Background: Previous studies have shown the relationship between in utero lung development and vitamin D [25(OH)D], but there have been no studies to investigate whether vitamin D deficiency is a risk factor for respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in preterm babies. Objectives: In this study, we investigated if 25(OH)D deficiency is a risk factor for RDS. Methods: One hundred fifty-two preterm newborns, born at 29-35 weeks gestational age, were included in the study following informed consent from the parents. Peripheral blood samples were collected within the first 24 hours of life and 25(OH)D levels were measured by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Demographic characteristics of the babies and the diagnosis of RDS were recorded. Results: In 64% of preterm infants, 25(OH)D levels were compatible with severe deficiency (
