| No | Source | Population | Results |
| 1 | Ataseven et al. 2013 [35] | Preterm newborns, born at 29–35 weeks gestational age | Respiratory distress syndrome was more common in preterm babies with 25(OH)D deficiency | 2 | Barnett et al. 2013 [36] | Patients with sepsis and trauma with or without ALI/ARDS | 25-OHD levels did not differ between cases with ALI/ARDS | 3 | Dancer et al. 2015 [22] | Human (primary alveolar epithelial cells) | Vitamin D has effects on primary human alveolar epithelial cells affecting >600 genes | 4 | Fettah et al. 2015 [37] | 81 preterm infants | Lower cord blood 25(OH)D levels might be associated with increased risk of RDS in preterm infants with very low birth weight |
