METHODS: Randomized parallel arm trials comparing these interventions' effect on the above outcomes were searched in the PubMed, Embase, and Scopus, irrespective date, and language of publication. Each eligible trial's risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane collaboration tool. Using random-effects meta-analysis, the risk of the outcomes was compared. RESULTS: = 0%). CONCLUSION: Newborns of GDM mothers who received vitamin D as a sole or co-supplement antenatally have a decreased risk of hyperbilirubinemia and hospitalization.
