Abstract Objective To study the association of neonatal blood calcium levels with perinatal factors and neonatal urinary calcium levels measured by an intelligent urine test system. Methods The medical data of 96 full-term singleton neonates with mild diseases were collected by a cross-sectional survey, who were hospitalized in the Department of Neonatology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University, from June to August 2018. Urinary calcium levels measured by an intelligent urine test system, total blood calcium levels, ionized calcium levels, and the mother's calcium and vitamin D supplementation during pregnancy were recorded. Results Compared with the group without vitamin D supplementation for the mother (17 neonates), the group with vitamin D supplementation for the mother (79 neonates) had significantly higher levels of total blood calcium and ionized calcium (P < 0.05).The group with both vitamin D and calcium supplementation for the mother (68 neonates) had significantly higher levels of ionized calcium than controls (28 neonate) (P=0.05). There was no significant difference in the levels of total blood calcium and ionized calcium between the group with calcium supplementation for the mother (74 neonates) and the group without calcium supplementation for the mother (22 neonates) (P > 0.05). The hypothermia group (5 neonates) had a significantly lower level of total blood calcium than the normal body temperature group (91 neonates) (P < 0.05). There was a significantly positive correlation between the maternal blood total calcium level and the neonatal blood total calcium and ionized calcium levels (r=0.881 and 0.703 respectively; P < 0.05). The neonatal urinary calcium level measured by the intelligent urine test system was significantly correlated with the blood ionized calcium level (r=0.526, P=0.025). Conclusions Vitamin D supplementation during pregnancy can increase the blood levels of total calcium and ionized calcium in neonates, and calcium supplementation alone cannot increase the blood levels of total calcium or ionized calcium in neonates. Hypothermia in neonates might cause the reduction in blood calcium levels. The urinary calcium level measured by the intelligent urine test system is positively correlated with the blood level of ionized calcium.
