The influence of vitamin D on postpartum relapse and quality of life in pregnant multiple sclerosis patients

摘要

Background and purposeIn relapsing-remitting MS patients, lower serum vitamin D concentrations are associated with higher relapse risk. In a number of conditions, low vitamin D has been associated with fatigue. Pregnant women are at particular risk for vitamin D insufficiency. Our objective was to investigate whether vitamin D status is associated with postpartum relapse and quality of life during pregnancy.
