Is Vitamin D important for IVF success?

In this issue, Dr. Cozzolino and colleagues (1) have performed a systematic review and meta-analysis on the topic of the relationship between vitamin D serum levels and in  vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes. Their analysis determined that serum vitamin D levels have no significant effect upon IVF outcomes, as measured by clinical pregnancy rates, ongoing/live birth pregnancy rates, and/or miscarriage rates. This detailed analysis adds to the growing body of literatu re on the subject, and their conclusions are in clear contradistinction to at least one highly respected prior systematic review (2).
