Vitamin D deficiency is highly prevalent among critically ill patients and may be associated with adverse outcomes. Failure of conventional vitamin D supplementation in correcting deficiency has called for studies to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a high-dose regime in critically ill patients. High-dose vitamin D supplementation that corrects a deficient state effectively and safely allows for intervention studies to be undertaken to determine the impact of vitamin D on morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients.
维生素 D 缺乏在危重症患者中非常普遍,可能与不良结局有关。常规维生素 D 补充未能纠正缺乏症,因此需要研究评估高剂量方案在危重症患者中的疗效和安全性。有效且安全地纠正缺乏状态的高剂量维生素 D 补充允许进行干预研究,以确定维生素 D 对危重症患者发病率和死亡率的影响。
