Simple vitamin pill could cut lung crises in half for sickle cell kids
NCT ID NCT04170348
Summary
This study tested whether taking a daily vitamin D pill could reduce serious lung problems in children and teens with sickle cell disease. Researchers compared daily vitamin D to a larger monthly dose over two years to see which was better at preventing infections, asthma attacks, and a dangerous condition called acute chest syndrome. The goal was to find a simple, low-cost way to keep these patients healthier and out of the hospital.
