High-dose vitamin D3 supplementation (10 000 IU/kg, max. 400 000 IU) significantly increased 25(OH)D3 levels in critically ill pediatric patients.
Background: Vitamin D deficiency is a common finding in critically ill children. However, the optimal supplementation strategy in this patient population is unknown. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of high-dose (10 000 IU/kg, max. 400 000 IU) vitamin D supplementation on 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25[OH]D3) levels in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) patients with baseline vitamin D deficiency.Methods: This was a prospective, institutional review board-approved pilot research study performed at the University of South Alabama Women's and Children's Hospital in Mobile, AL. The study sample consisted of patients less than 18 years old admitted to the PICU with baseline 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) level less than 30 ng/ml. Included patients received a one-time dose of vitamin D3 orally or via gastric tube (10 000 IU/kg, max. 400 000 IU).Results: A total of 17 patients were screened with 11 included in the study. Blood analysis revealed a significant increase in 25(OH)D3 level from baseline to 12-h post dose (21.6 [4.5] ng/ml vs. 46.7 [15.5] ng/ml, P < 0.001). At the 12-h post-dose time point, 10/11 patients (91%) had 25(OH)D3 levels that were greater than 30 ng/ml. No adverse effects were observed.Conclusion: Vitamin D3 supplementation at a dose of 10 000 IU/kg (max. 400 000 IU) significantly increased 25(OH)D3 levels in critically ill pediatric patients.
