Abstract in brief
The study compared the safety and effectiveness of standard daily vitamin D therapy (5000 IU for 80 days) versus a high-dose weekly "stoss" therapy (100,000 IU weekly for 4 weeks) in children aged 2-16 with vitamin D deficiency.
Results showed that the standard therapy led to higher vitamin D levels after 12 weeks, but both groups had a similar percentage of children reaching sufficient vitamin D levels and showed no signs of toxicity.
Despite expectations, the simplified "stoss" therapy did not improve treatment compliance, but it was still confirmed as a safe and effective alternative for treating pediatric vitamin D deficiency.]
For children with vitamin D deficiency, is high‐dose, short‐term (stoss) therapy a better option than standard, daily therapy? This 2019 @JPCHonline article from the #PCHSS's @YvonneZurynski and colleagues points to the answer.
