Vitamin D supplementation for the prevention of vitamin D deficiency after bariatric surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Li, Zhifei, Zhou, Xin, Fu, Wei·2018·European Journal of Clinical Nutrition

Abstract

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of vitamin D supplementation on the prevention of postoperative vitamin D deficiency.Methods PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane library were searched. Prospective studies evaluating the effects of vitamin D supplementation in patients who had undergone bariatric surgery were included. Meta-regression was performed to explore heterogeneity, and assess the relationship between dosage of vitamin D supplementation, study design, and prevalence of vitamin D depletion.Results Twelve studies enrolling 1285 patients met the inclusion criteria, and were included. Vitamin D supplementation was associated with significant improvements in 1-year Vitamin D depletion and 1-year 25-OHD level. A daily supplement of more than 800 IU vitamin D significantly reduced the prevalence of 1-year Vitamin D depletion, but the dosage of less than 800 IU did not. Significant decrease in prevalence of 1-year Vitamin D depletion was observed in randomized controlled trials (RCTs), but not in non-RCTs. For the 1-year 25-OHD level, significant elevation was found in the studies irrespective of the study design and dosage of vitamin D supplementation. Meta-regression showed that there was significant relationship between vitamin D depletion and study design, but not between vitamin D depletion and the dosage of vitamin D supplementation.Conclusion Vitamin D supplementation with a daily dosage of more than 800 IU is effective in preventing postoperative vitamin D deficiency and improving the 25-OHD level. However, the results should be interpreted cautiously since there was significant heterogeneity among the studies.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
