Rapid vs Maintenance Vitamin D Supplementation in Deficient Asthmatic Children to Prevent Exacerbations.
Whether vitamin D reduces clinically important exacerbations of childhood asthma remains uncertain. We compared rapid to maintenance vitamin D repletion analyzed by baseline vitamin D level. ⋯ Rapid compared to maintenance vitamin D supplementation for children with the lowest levels resulted in short- but not long-term reduction in asthma exacerbations.
