Hypovitaminosis D in lower extremity Joint Arthroplasty: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

The purpose of the current systematic review was to identify the prevalence of hypovitaminosis-D in LE-TJA patients; and outline the association between pre-operative hypovitaminosis and post-operative outcomes. A search of PubMed-Medline and the Cochrane-Library databases was performed for literature published before November 27th, 2019. The eighteen studies analyzed had a pooled prevalence for vitamin D insufficiency (20 - <30 ng/mL) and deficiency (<20 ng/mL) of 53.4% and 39.4%, respectively. Hypovitaminosis-D was associated with higher complication rates (p = 0.043), and a greater prevalence among septic versus aseptic revisions (p = 0.016). Therefore, pre-operative screening for hypovitaminosis-D can be beneficial in patients undergoing LE-TJA. Level of evidence Systematic Review (Level III).
