Abstract:

A recent systematic review for 19 selected articles after searching through to 30 September

10

2017 showed vitamin D deficiency was associated with ischemic stroke (IS), not hemorrhagic stroke

11

(HS). But a heterogeneity would be introduced with comparing the lowest and highest category of

12

vitamin D. The aim of this article was to conduct an updated meta-analysis (UMA) with searching

13

through to 31 March 2019. An interval collapsing method as information extraction was applied in

14

order to decrease a heterogeneity among studies. Additional articles were selected from cited lists

15

from 19 selected articles using citation discovery tools. Random effect model was applied if I-squared

16

value was over 50%. A funnel plot and Egger’s test were used to detect a publication bias. After 5 new

17

studies were added, the summary RRs [and their 95% confidence intervals] (I-squared value) were 1.52

18

[1.33-1.74] (0.0%) in IS, and 2.44 [1.34-4.46] (69.7%) in HS. This UMA supported the hypothesis that

19

serum vitamin D deficiency was associated with an increased risk of HS as well as IS. Diverse public

20

health programs against vitamin D deficiency status would be needed for higher risk group, especially

21

elderly people.

1. Introduction

25

As stoke is a leading case of mortality and disability globally [1], the economic burden is

26

substantial [2,3]. Although hypertension, diabetes mellitus, obesity, and stroke are well known as

27

important risk factors of stroke, the exploration of unknown risk factors is still needed [2,4].

28

29

Several studies reported that the incidence of first-ever stroke (FES) is higher on winter and spring

30

[5]. As like as tuberculosis [6] or depression [7] showing seasonal variation of occurrence, a hypothesis

31

of the association between vitamin D deficiency and risk of FES has been suggested [8-10]. And Zhou

32

et al. [4] conducted a quantitative systematic review using 19 relevant articles [11-29] published

33

through to 30 September 2017. Authors concluded that vitamin D level was associated with ischemic

34

stroke (IS), but not hemorrhagic stroke (HS).

35

36

However, the following two problems were found in Zhou et al. [4] First, they did not distinguish

37

the measuring method of vitamin D from blood sampling or intake amounts. Among 19 selected

38

articles, Kojima et al. [15] and Ford et al. [22] evaluated the vitamin D level of subjects through food

39

frequency questionnaire and supplement intake, respectively. The remaining articles assessed the

40

vitamin D level by measuring serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D]. Second, Michos et al. [16]

41

having the outcome as mortality was selected for meta-analysis, even though the aim of Zhou et al. [4]

42

was to verify the association between vitamin D and the ‘incidence’ of stroke. Thus, it is necessary to

43

carry out an updated meta-analysis (UMA) in order to clarify the results in Zhou et al. [4]. Thus, the

44

aim of this UMA was to evaluate the hypothesis that lower level of circulating 25(OH)D was associated

45

(2)

with an increased risk of stroke.

46

.

47

2. Materials and Methods

48

As Zhou et al. [4] selected the relevant articles that were published through to 30 September 2017,

49

it is necessary to add relevant studies that were published till 31 March 2019. A search list was created

50

through the citation discovery tools (CDT) of “cited by” provided by PubMed [30] from 19 articles

51

selected by Zhou et al. [4]. The selection criteria were analytic epidemiological studies that measured

52

circulating 25(OH)D level of cohort participants and identified the risk of HS as well as IS and overall

53

stroke (OS).

54

55

Instead of ‘highest versus lowest’ method (HLM) used by Zhou et al., [4] ‘interval collapsing

56

method’ (ICM) was used to extract information of each selected article in order to make full use of the

57

suggested information of selected articles [31,32]. The logarithm relative risk (logRR) and its standard

58

error of logRR (SElogR) of each article was calculated from the extracted RR and 95% confidence

59

intervals (CI).

60

61

Heterogeneity of articles was assessed with I-squared value (%). A random effect model was used

62

when I-squared value was above 50% and if not, fixed effect model was used [33]. Subgroup analyses

63

were conducted by study design such as cohort and case-control. Publication bias was evaluated by

64

funnel plot and Egger’s test. If a publication bias was confirmed, a sensitivity analysis was performed

65

with limiting SElogRR. The level of statistical significance was set to 0.05.

66

67

3. Results

68

A total of 359 studies were retrieved from the 19 studies selected by Zhou et al. [4] using PubMed’s

69

CDT. Five studies among them were additionally selected [34-38]. Zhang et al. [34] and Manouchehri

70

et al. [35] were published after 30 September 2017. With adding 16 studies [11-14, 17-21, 23-29], 21

71

studies were finally selected for meta-analysis (Table 1). There were 14 cohort studies

[11-14,17,19-72

21,23-26,28,34] and 7 case-control studies [18,27,29,35-38].

79

4. Discussion

100

The summary of results was that lower level of circulating 25(OH)D was associated with a

101

significant, 1.36-fold in OS risk, 1.52-fold in IS risk, and 2.44-fold in HS risk. Statistical significance was

102

maintained in subgroup analysis conducted by study design. Especially, this UMA showed that

103

circulating vitamin D level was associated with HS through adding Manouchehri et al. [35] and using

104

ICM [31,32], although Zhou et al. [4] did not show the statistically significant association between

105

vitamin D and HS risk.

106

107

Based on these facts, this UMA had 2 advantages. First, five studies could be added using PubMed’s

108

CDT. Three [36-38] of them were published before 30 September 2017. In other word, they should be

109

selected in Zhou et al. [4]. Thus. this fact suggested that adding new relevant studies using CDT would

110

be efficient and valid methodology to conduct an UMA [30,39-41]. Second, ICM was used to make full

111

use of the suggested information. That is more consistent with the original purpose of meta-analysis

112

[42]. It is necessary to consider the ICM for the meta-analysis of nutritional epidemiological studies

113

that categorize according to the overall distribution rather than the absolute criteria [31]. Because Zhou

114

et al. [4] mentioned the limitation of heterogeneity introduced from using HLM.

115

116

Publication biases were in selected studies for OS and IS, except for HS. But they disappeared after

117

restricting studies having SElogRR below 0.3 and the relationship between hypovitaminosis D and risk

118

of OS and IS were significant. But, further analytically epidemiological studies for HS risk are needed

5. Conclusions

123

In conclusion, this UMA derived the evidence that lower level of circulating vitamin D was

124

associated with risk of HS as well as IS and OS. Thus, higher circulating vitamin D was one of protective

125

factors for HS as well as IS. Diverse public health programs against vitamin D deficiency status would

126

be needed for higher risk group, especially elderly people.
