Abstract

The health responses to antenatal vitamin A supplementation evaluated in randomized intervention trials were recently systematically reviewed by van den Broek and colleagues. The importance of this update is reflected in the persistence of vitamin A deficiency during pregnancy and its potential to affect maternal and infant health and survival in many low-income countries.
