The relationship between the level of vitamin D and ruptured intracranial aneurysms

Abstract The purpose of our research is to explore whether vitamin D levels were associated with the rupture of intracranial aneurysms. In this retrospective study, 105 patients diagnosed with ruptured intracranial aneurysms (RIAs) and 185 patients diagnosed with unruptured intracranial aneurysms (U...

Sumario:Abstract The purpose of our research is to explore whether vitamin D levels were associated with the rupture of intracranial aneurysms. In this retrospective study, 105 patients diagnosed with ruptured intracranial aneurysms (RIAs) and 185 patients diagnosed with unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) at The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were recruited from September 2019 to September 2020. Patients’ demographic and clinical information, including vitamin D levels, were recorded and compared. Univariate analysis showed that patients with UIAs had higher vitamin D levels than RIAs (p = 0.019). In addition, there were significant differences in aneurysm location (p < 0.001), aspirin use (p = 0.001), and comorbid diabetes mellitus (p = 0.037) between patients with UIAs and RIAs. Binary logistic regression analysis showed that the level of vitamin D was independently associated with RIAs [odds ratio (OR) 0.960; 95% confidence intervals (CI), 0.926–0.996, p = 0.028].
