To estimate the association between maternal hydroxyvitamin D (25-hydroxyvitamin D) concentrations and risk of preterm birth subtypes. We performed a case-cohort study using data and banked samples from patients at a teaching hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Eligible participants were women with a prenatal aneuploidy screening serum sample at or before 20 weeks of gestation who subsequently delivered a singleton, live-born infant. Of the n=12,861 eligible women, we selected n=2327 at random as well as all remaining preterm birth cases for a total of n=1126 cases. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D was measured using liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry. Multivariable log-binomial regression models were used to estimate associations between maternal vitamin D status and preterm birth <37 weeks (separately by spontaneous or indicated) and preterm birth <34 weeks. The incidence of preterm birth <37 weeks was 8.6% overall and 11.3%, 8.6%, and 7.3% among mothers with serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D<50, 50–74.9, and ≥75nmol/L, respectively (p<0.01). After adjustment for maternal race and ethnicity, prepregnancy BMI, season, smoking, and other confounders, the risk of preterm birth <37 weeks significantly decreased as 25-hydroxyvitamin D increased to approximately 90 nmol/L and then plateaued (test of nonlinearity p<0.01). Results were similar when limiting to cases that were medically indicated or occurred spontaneously and cases occurring at <34 weeks of gestation. Our data support a protective association maternal vitamin D sufficiency and preterm birth that combined with extant epidemiologic data may provide justification for a randomized clinical trial of maternal vitamin D replacement or supplementation to prevent preterm birth.
