This study aims to investigate the prevalence and factors predictive of vitamin D deficiency in patients with malignancy in Brisbane, Australia (latitude 27° S).
This is a prospective cross-sectional study measuring serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) in 100 subjects with non-haematological cancer at least 18 years of age not taking vitamin D supplements attending a day oncology unit and oncology/palliative care inpatient ward in Brisbane, Australia.
Thirty-seven per cent of outpatient and 49 % of inpatient subjects respectively were vitamin D deficient. Functional status was predictive of low vitamin D levels.
There was a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in patients with cancer in Brisbane, Australia.
本研究旨在调查在澳大利亚布里斯班（南纬 27°）患有恶性肿瘤的患者中维生素 D 缺乏症的流行情况和预测因素。
这是一项前瞻性横断面研究，在澳大利亚布里斯班的一家肿瘤日间病房和肿瘤/姑息治疗住院病房，对 100 名年龄至少 18 岁且未服用维生素 D 补充剂的非血液系统癌症患者测量血清 25-羟维生素 D（25-OHD）水平。
分别有 37%的门诊患者和 49%的住院患者存在维生素 D 缺乏。功能状态是维生素 D 水平低的预测因素。
在澳大利亚布里斯班的癌症患者中，维生素 D 缺乏症的患病率很高。
