- Population
- Infants and children (aged about 2 to 8 years) whose mothers' vitamin D status was assessed during pregnancy
- Intervention
- Prenatal vitamin D deficiency (maternal 25(OH)D measured at gestational weeks 24 to 38)
- Comparison
- Adequate prenatal vitamin D (sufficient maternal 25(OH)D)
- Outcome
- Dental caries in children
For prenatal vitamin D measured across gestational weeks 24-38, the OR of dental caries was 1.30 (no CI reported); ungraded.

How reviews are matched to this question
Reviews word the same question differently. Four decision models (TypeSafe's Jev, Liquid AI's d1-ultra, SubQ Snap and Baseten's Elephant) judged each wording of the population, intervention, comparator and outcome against the others; two wordings count as the same when at least three of them agree and none clearly disagrees, and findings count as this question only when all four elements match. Timing, setting and subgroup never split a question: they are shown on each finding.
