Abstrakt:	Background: Vitamin D deficiency has been found to be associated with various cardiovascular disorders, including hypertension, coronary artery disease, heart failure, peripheral vascular diseases, and sudden cardiac death. In the literature, it has been reported that many electrocardiographic parameters have been developed to predict ventricular arrhythmias. In recent studies, it is noteworthy that the index of cardio-electrophysiological balance (iCEB) and correct cardioelectrophysiological balance (iCEBc), which are electrocardiographic parameters, can be used as new, easy, cheap and non-invasive parameters to predict ventricular arrhythmias. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between vitamin D deficiency and iCEB and iCEBc values in children. Methods: A total of 186 patients were included in this study. Group 1 included 114 patients with vitamin D levels below 20 ng/ml; 50 patients with vitamin D levels of 21-29 ng/ml were included in Group 2; Group 3 consisted of 36 patients with a vitamin D level above 30 ng/ml. iCEB and iCEBc values were calculated by taking 12-lead ECG from all individuals and comparing them between groups. Results: A total of 186 children, 114 subjects in Group 1, 36 subjects in Group 2, and 36 subjects in Group 3, were included in the study. Demographic characteristics and height-weight values of the groups were similar. Significant differences were found between the groups in terms of QT, QTc, QT/QRS, and QTc/QRS levels (p: 0.003, 0.028, 0.001, and 0.001, respectively). In the correlation analysis, a negative correlation was found between QTc/QRS and vitamin D level (r=-0.320, p=<0.001) and between QT/QRS and vitamin D level (r=-0.268, p=<0.001). Moreover, vitamin D level (β=0.389, p<0.001) was determined as an independent predictor of QTc/QRS in multivariate logistic regression analysis. Conclusion: iCEB and iCEBc parameters increase significantly in children with low vitamin D levels. These parameters are also evaluated during the follow-up of children with vitamin D deficiency in terms of the risk of ventricular arrhythmia. iCEBc can be used as an easy, inexpensive, non-invasive, and reproducible parameter.
