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.]
