    Maternal plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D in early-onset severe preeclampsia (EOSPE) vs control subjects

    Patients with early-onset severe preeclampsia had significantly decreased levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D relative to healthy control pregnancies that were matched for gestational age at plasma sampling (median 25-hydroxyvitamin D, 18 vs 32 ng/mL; P < .001). The probability value was determined by Mann Whitney U test.

    Plasma 25-OH-D by race and early-onset severe preeclampsia (EOSPE) status

    African American and white women with early-onset severe preeclampsia were noted to have decreased plasma levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OH-D) relative to matched-race, control pregnancies. African American women were noted to have the lowest plasma 25-OH-D levels when compared with white women. The bars represent mean 25-OH-D levels (mean ± SEM). The probability values were determined with the Tukey-Kramer test.
