Association of Bioavailable 25(OH)D Levels With Endometriosis in Infertile Bangladeshi Women: A Cross-Sectional Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Infertility is a significant public health issue worldwide, and endometriosis is a major contributor to infertility, impacting 6%-10% of reproductive-aged women. The objective of the study is to assess the relationship between bioavailable 25(OH)D (BVD) levels and endometriosis among infertile women.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was carried out among infertile women at Dhaka Medical College Hospital in Bangladesh, examining the association of bioavailable 25(OH)D levels with endometriosis in infertile Bangladeshi women.

Results

A statistically significant difference in BVD levels was observed between infertile women with and without endometriosis. Specifically, the mean BVD level was substantially higher in infertile women without endometriosis
