The present study assessed serum 25(OH)D in a cohort of 74235 outpatients by liquid-chromatography-tandem-mass-spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).
The investigators studied the distribution of serum 25(OH)D concentrations in males and females of different age groups, the prevalence of measurable amounts of 25(OH)D2 and seasonal variability.
Measurements were performed under routine circumstances. Samples were collected in serum tubes with clot-activator. As per routine procedure, samples were centrifuged upon arrival in the lab and stored at 4° C until measurement. 25(OH)D3 and 25(OH)D2 were quantitated separately. Results from subjects <18 years were excluded from the analysis. The study was approved by the local Ethics Committee.

The investigators analyzed retrospectively all serum 25(OH)D results from outpatients ( >18 years ) that were generated between January 1, 2015 and December 31, 2016 at the Central Laboratory of Clinical Pathology at the Bolzano Hospital (Italy). Out of 74,235 samples 3,801 cases were identified where PTH was requested at the same occasion.
