Vitamin D is recognized as a crucial nutrient, that plays a pivotal role in various physiological processes such as cell function, bone mineralization, calcium homeostasis, and muscle performanceIn addition to the role of vitamin D in maintaining calcium homeostasis and bone metabolism, a deficiency in vitamin D during pregnancy can result in various complications such as preeclampsia, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and preterm deliverySeveral studies have examined the relationship between 25(OH)D concentrations and mode of delivery, but their findings have been inconsistent and inconclusiveTo better understand and simplify the complex association between 25(OH)D concentration at delivery and mode of delivery, we utilized data from a stratified randomized controlled field trial of vitamin D supplementation. We employed a Bayesian Network (BN), which is a popular data mining algorithm to predict the likelihood of cesarean section in mothers with vitamin D deficiency. This innovative approach allowed us to elucidate the relationships among the variables in our analysis.
