Trial of Vitamin D3 Supplementation in Paediatric Asthma
NCT ID: NCT02428322 Phase: NA Status: COMPLETED Enrollment: 53 Completion: 2014-05
Conditions
Asthma
Interventions
Placebo, VItamin D3
Summary
Epidemiological and observational studies have linked vitamin D deficiency with increased asthma/allergy incidence . Vitamin D insufficiency (\<75nmol/L) has been associated with increased incidence of severe childhood asthma. Further, high 25(OH)D levels were associated with reduced risk of recent hospitalization, lower use of anti-asthmatic medication and lower airway hyper-responsiveness in childhood asthmatics. The association between vitamin D and allergy and asthma appears to be stronger in children than adults, with some even suggesting that childhood asthma may may be caused by VDD.
Primary Outcome
Paediatic Asthma Control Test (P-ACT)
