Maternal Serum Cobalamin at 18 Weeks of Pregnancy Predicts Infant Cobalamin Status at 6 Months —A Prospective, Observational Study

ConclusionsThe maternal serum cobalamin concentration in early pregnancy is a strong predictor for later maternal and infant cobalamin status. To secure an optimal infant cobalamin status during the first 6 mo of life, we recommend a maternal serum cobalamin concentration>394 pmol/L at week 18 of pregnancy. This should be confirmed in an intervention study.This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT03272022.
