Vitamin D levels in seriously ill children with breathing infections
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how vitamin D levels in the blood relate to how sick children with respiratory infections are while in the intensive care unit. It aims to see if low vitamin D is linked to more severe illness, which could guide future treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 1 month and 12 years old.
- They must be admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) with a respiratory infection, like pneumonia or bronchiolitis.
- The infection must be confirmed by symptoms and a chest X-ray.
- Your child should not have chronic bone or metabolic diseases, or kidney or liver failure.
- Your child should not have been taking vitamin D supplements before this hospital stay.

This study looks at whether vitamin D levels are related to how well your asthma is controlled, how your lungs are working, and signs of stress in your body. If you join, researchers will check your vitamin D level and other blood markers to see how they affect your asthma.
This trial studies whether giving a higher dose of vitamin D3 helps children and teens with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s or ulcerative colitis) who have low vitamin D levels. Participants are already on biologic medicines and will be treated while monitoring blood (and safety) related to vitamin D.
This study looks at vitamin D levels in a newborn's umbilical cord blood to understand what affects them and whether they relate to health outcomes. It uses leftover blood from routine delivery and involves no extra procedures.
This study tests whether giving very high doses of vitamin D to patients with sepsis in the intensive care unit (ICU) can improve their recovery. It focuses on adults aged 18 and older who have just been diagnosed with sepsis and are expected to stay in the ICU for at least a week.
