Vitamin D3 during early ICU care to help critically ill adults
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether starting vitamin D3 soon after ICU admission helps critically ill adults with low vitamin D levels. It may help correct low vitamin D and possibly improve recovery, depending on your health situation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 or older.
- You were admitted to the ICU within the last 24 hours.
- Your blood vitamin D level (25(OH)D) is below 20 ng/mL, measured within 24 hours of ICU admission.
- Your ICU stay is expected to be at least 72 hours.
- You are not pregnant, and you can communicate as a non-native language patient (this study is for non-native-speaking patients only excluded).

This trial tests whether giving vitamin D to adults in the ICU after major trauma can improve outcomes. It’s meant for people who don’t have certain conditions that raise calcium levels or make feeding with the study plan unsafe.
This trial tests whether giving a high dose of vitamin D3 can reduce death within 28 days for critically ill adults in the ICU who have very low vitamin D levels. It may help by correcting vitamin D deficiency, which the study team thinks could affect outcomes in serious illness.
This study looks at vitamin D levels in children who are very sick with lung infections in the ICU. It aims to see if low vitamin D might be linked to how severe the infection is.
This trial is testing whether giving preterm babies (born at 24 to 32 weeks) a high, carefully monitored dose of vitamin D right after birth helps improve their health compared to standard care.
This study compares different forms of vitamin D3 to find which works best for adults with low vitamin D levels. If you have a vitamin D deficiency and are generally healthy, this trial may help determine the most effective supplement for you.
This trial tests whether taking vitamin D by mouth can lower the risk of peritonitis (a painful infection of the lining around the abdomen) in people on peritoneal dialysis. You might benefit if your vitamin D level is low and you meet other safety requirements.
