Correlation Between Vitamin D Level and Platelet Indices in Children Aged 0-18 Years
Journal Title: HASEKİ TIP BÜLTENİ - Year 2018, Vol 56, Issue 2
Abstract
Aim: In this study, we aimed to investigate whether any correlation exists between 25-hidroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D)] level and platelet indices in childhood. Methods: We planned a retrospective study. Firstly, we scanned 25(OH)D and hemogram tests in children who presented to our pediatric clinic with any simple complaint from January 2014 to December 2016. We finally included 346 children (168 female and 178 male) aged 0-18 years in order to evaluate the correlation between 25(OH)D level and platelet indices. Results: No significant difference was observed in average age and gender between the study groups (p=0.856 and p=0.907, respectively). We did not determine any significant difference among seasons in terms of 25(OH)D level (p=0.512). Finally, we also did not find any correlation between 25(OH)D and platelet indices in all groups (p>0.05). Conclusion: There was no relationship between 25(OH)D level and platelet indices in healthy children.
