“…The current study reported that there was significant difference in serum vitamin D levels between patients and controls, the mean (SD) of Vitamin D in patients with telogen effluvium and controls was (6.93 (3.56), 21.10 (11.88), p-value <0.0001) respectively, which is statistically significant. Compared with other studies, our study are in agreement with previous studies 19,20,21 . our result agreed with study done in Saudi Arabia by Mohammed, Salma S. et al that showed the mean of vitamin D in patients was considerably lesser than controls (P<0.001), with Mean ± SD of vitamin D among cases 13.36 ± 9.56,22.…”

Background: Telogen effluvium, a commonly reported problem, strictly affect the quality of life of the patients. Vitamin D stimulates differentiation of hair follicles. The association between serum vitamin D levels and telogen effluvium describe in several studies. The aim of study was to determine serum level of vitamin D in patients with telogen effluvium and analyze the relationship of altered serum total vitamin D levels with Telogen effluvium.Methods: This study was conducted at dermatological department out-patient clinic of Azadi Teaching Hospital, Duhok city, Kurdistan Region-Iraq, during period from 20 th of December 2021 to 20 th of April 2022; in which 100 subjects included 50 cases with telogen effluvium and 50 healthy controls. Results:The prevalence rate of vitamin D deficiency among patients with telogen effluvium was distributed as severe deficient 62%, insufficient 26%, and sufficient 12%. Mean ± SD of vitamin D was 6.93 ± 3.56 for patients compared with Mean ± SD 21.10 ± 11.88, (p-value <0.0001) for healthy control. Most cases were from urban areas and most controls were from rural areas, 66% versus 55.01 %( p=0.0346). Conclusions:The patients with telogen effluvium in this study had significantly low levels of serum total vitamin D and higher prevalence rate of vitamin D deficiency when compared with healthy control.
