Background: Low concentrations of vitamin D are considered one of the risk factors for hip fracture and are associated with worse outcomes. The purpose of this retrospective study was to compare vitamin D deficient group and vitamin D sufficient group and assess the association preoperative vitamin D deficiency and postoperative walking ability after hip fracture surgery.Methods: Between January 2014 and January 2020, 1,029 elderly patients with hip fracture (243 in men and 785 in women) were measured preoperative serum 25-hydroxy-vitamin D3 levels. Among 1,029 elderly patients, 702 patients were classified as Vitamin D deficient group (<20 ng/mL). Outcome parameters for functional recovery were the length of the hospital stay and KOVAL score, and those for complications were delirium, pneumonia, and thromboembolism.Results: The mean length of the hospital stay in the vitamin D deficient group was significantly longer than in the vitamin D sufficient group (27.7±17.8 vs. 2.9±11.8 days; odds ratio [OR], 1.03; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.02-1.05; P=0.001). The mean postoperative KOVAL score in the deficient group was significantly higher than in the sufficient group (4.0±2.1 vs. 3.1±1.9 days; OR, 1.21; 95% CI, 1.11-1.32; P=0.001). Vitamin D deficiency was significantly associated with a higher risk of delirium and pneumonia in deficiency group.Conclusions: Preoperative vitamin D deficiency in hip fractures patients was associated with prolonged duration of hospital stay and decrease of postoperative ambulatory status, and may increase the risk of delirium and pneumonia. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the preoperative vitamin D level and recommend vitamin D supplementation in elderly patients with a high probability of hip fracture.

Abstract Objectives Hip fractures are associated with a high rate of morbidity and mortality, and successful ambulation after surgery is an important outcome in this patient population. This study aims to determine whether 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) or the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) is associated with short term mortality or ability to walk after hip fracture surgery. Methods Patients undergoing hip fracture repair were included in this study. Mortality and walking ability were assessed at 30 and 60 days after hip fracture surgery. Pre-operative serum albumin and 25(OH)D were measured. Patients were characterized with 25(OH)D <12 ng/mL, 12 to <20, 20 to <30 or ≥30. GNRI was calculated from albumin and body weight and patients were categorized into major/moderate nutritional risk (<92), low risk (92 to <98) or in good nutritional status (≥98). Results Of the 290 patients (82 ± 7 years, BMI 25 ± 5 kg/m2), 73% were females. Compared to patients with vitamin D deficiency (<12 ng/mL), those with vitamin D levels in higher categories had increased ability to walk at 30 days (P = 0.031): 12 to <20 ng/ml (adjusted odds ratio = 2.61; 95% confidence interval = 1.13–5.99); 20 to <30 ng/ml (3.48; 1.53–7.95); ≥30 ng/ml (2.84; 1.12–7.20). In addition, patients also had increased mobility at 60 days in these same higher vitamin D categories 12 to <20 (2.67; 1.14–6.25); 20 to <30 (3.42; 1.46–8.00); ≥30 ng/ml (3.67; 1.37–9.82) compared to the reference group (<12 ng/mL; P = 0.028). There was no association of vitamin D with mortality at either time point. GNRI was not associated with mortality or walking ability. Conclusions In patients with hip fracture, vitamin D deficiency (<12 ng/mL) was associated with reduced ambulation after surgery, whereas GNRI was not associated with any outcomes. Mechanisms that attenuate mobility due to vitamin D deficiency should be examined in future studies. Funding Sources ONE Nutrition Grant to SAS and JLC.

Introduction : High prevalence of vitamin D deficiency has been described in more than 1 billion people around the world, es pecially in Middle - East and Asia. In Thailand, the largest study of vitamin D status in normal population (N=2641) identified overall 45.2 percent of vitamin D inadequacy in normal population. However, there was no study focusing on Vitamin D inadequacy in traumatic elderly patients. The purpose of this study is going to define the prevalence of vitamin D inadequacy in traumatic hip fracture among elderly patients and to identify a clinical correlation. Materials and Methods : A prospective study of elderly patients (more than 60 years old) with low energy trauma who underwent orthopaedic surgery at Phramongkutklao Hospital between the period of January 2016 and December 2016. All hip fracture patients underwent orthopedic surgery were collected for demograph ic data, comorbidities including Charlson Comorbidity Index. Primary outcome was to identify a prevalence of vitamin D inadequacy (<30 ng/ml) and vitamin D deficiency (<20 ng/ml) in hip fracture underwent orthopedic surgery. Secondary outcome was to define association of demographic data, comorbidity with vitamin D level. Additionally, comparison the ambulatory status and mechanical failure between normal vitamin D and vitamin D inadequacy Results : The serum 25(OH)D levels for this study was normally distri buted, with a mean of 25.0±12.2 ng/ml in all patients, Prevalence of vitamin D inadequacy was 70.5 percent (n=103) and the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency was 37.7 percent (n=55). There was no significant difference of ambulatory status between vitamin D inadequacy and sufficient vitamin D groups (p=0.958). Additionally, there was not different in mechanical failure between groups (4.5% and 0%, p=1.000). Conclusion : Vitamin D inadequacy is so common in traumatic elderly patients. We should raise attentiveness among physician to determine vitamin D status. Public health strategy should add knowledge about diet, supplements or adequate sun exposure to elderly population . Vitamin D inadequacy did not affect the outcome including time to union and ambulatory status at 1 year follow up.

Abstract.The relationship between Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and vitamin D has been demonstrated in several studies. The aim of the present study was to evaluate vitamin D concentrations in patients with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, the effect of vitamin D therapy on the course of disease, and to determine changes in thyroid autoantibody status and cardiovascular risk after vitamin D therapy. We included 75 patients with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and 43 healthy individuals. Vitamin D deficiency is defined as a 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25(OH)D3) concentration less than 20ng/mL. Vitamin D deficient patients were given 50.000 units of 25(OH)D3 weekly for eight weeks in accordance with the Endocrine Society guidelines. All evaluations were repeated after 2 months of treatment. Patients with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis had significantly lower vitamin D concentrations compared with the controls (9.37±0.69 ng/mL vs 11.95±1.01 ng/mL, p < 0.05, respectively). Thyroid autoantibodies were significantly decreased by vitamin D replacement treatment in patients with euthyroid Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Also, HDL cholesterol concentrations improved in the euthyroid Hashimoto group after treatment. The mean free thyroxine (fT4) concentrations were 0.89±0.02 ng/dL in patients with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and 1.07±0.03 ng/dL in the healthy control group (p < 0.001). The mean thyroid volumes were 7.71±0.44 mL in patients with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and 5.46±0.63 mL in the healthy control group (p < 0.01). Vitamin D deficiency is frequent in Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and treatment of patients with this condition with Vitamin D may slow down the course of development of hypothyroidism and also decrease cardiovascular risks in these patients. Vitamin D measurement and replacement may be critical in these patients.

Background and Objective: Vitamin D deficiency is internationally recognized among the potentially modifiable risk factors for ischemic cardio-cerebrovascular diseases. However, the association between vitamin D deficiency and stroke morbidity or mortality remains insufficiently known. Our aim is to investigate their relevance to 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH) D] levels and clinical severity and outcome after 3 months in first-ever ischemic stroke. Methods: Retrospective analysis of 356 consecutive patients in first-ever ischemic stroke between 2013 and 2015. Serum 25(OH) D levels were measured at baseline. Stroke severity was assessed at admission using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score. Functional outcome after 3 months of onset was evaluated using the modified Rankin scale (mRS). Results: Among the 356 enrolled patients, HbA1c was higher in insufficiency/deficiency group than that in the sufficiency group (6.3 ± 1.7 vs. 5.9 ± 1.1, p =0.015). The hospital stay was longer in insufficiency/deficiency group than that in the sufficiency group (11 (8-17) vs. 9.5 (7-13), p = 0.035). There was a significant inversed trend between serum 25(OH) D levels and hospital stay (OR 0.960, P = 0.031), using logistic regression. Conclusions: 25(OH)D levels are associated with glucose homeostasis, 25(OH) D contributes to increase the length of hospital stay. Low serum 25-OHD level is an independent predictor for hospital stay in first-ever ischemic stroke. Vitamin D deficiency did not predict functional outcome in the span of 3 months.

Lower levels of vitamin D have been documented in many patients with sickle cell disease (SCD), but data are still inconclusive regarding the association between vitamin D deficiency (VDD) and the occurrence or the severity of various SCD complications. Our study aimed to detect the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency among Egyptian patients with SCD and to associate it with the clinical course of the disease. We measured the level of 25-hydroxy vitamin D in 140 children (age from 4.3 to 15.5years), 80 patients with SCD and 60 controls using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Vitamin D was deficient in 60% of SCD compared to 26.7% of controls. Severe VDD was significantly higher in SCD patients than controls. Patients were divided into 2 groups; Normal group (32 patients) and Deficient group (48 patients). There were statistically significant differences between the 2 groups regarding their age, height percentile, the presence of clinical jaundice, and osseous changes (P values 0.043, 0.024, 0.001, and 0.015, respectively). Hemoglobin and hematocrit values were significantly lower in Deficient group (P values 0.022 and 0.004, respectively) while the levels of aspartate aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase, and total and indirect bilirubin were significantly higher in the same group (P values 0.006, 0.001, 0.038, and 0.016, respectively). The frequency of blood transfusions, hospitalization, and vasoocclusive crisis previous year as well as the history of bone fracture and recurrent infections proved to be significantly higher in Deficient group. These findings suggest that VDD may play a role in the pathogenesis of hemolysis and other complication of SCD. Vitamin D monitoring and supplementation in patients with SCD should be implemented as a standard of care to potentially improve health outcomes in these affected patients.

Background To investigate the relationship 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25OHD) level among children and in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Methods A case–control study was conducted to compare the serum 25OHD levels between cases and controls. This study recruited 296 T1DM children (106 newly diagnosed T1DM patients and 190 established T1DM patients), and 295 age- and gender-matched healthy subjects as controls. Results The mean serum 25OHD in T1DM children was 48.69 ± 15.26 nmol/L and in the controls was 57.93 ± 19.03 nmol/L. The mean serum 25OHD in T1DM children was lower than that of controls (P < 0.01). The mean serum 25OHD level (50.42 ± 14.74 nmol/L) in the newly diagnosed T1DM children was higher than that (47.70 ± 15.50 nmol/L) in the established T1DM children but the difference was not statistically significant (P = 0.16). HbA1c values were associated with 25OHD levels in established T1DM children (r = 0.264, P < 0.01), and there was no association between 25OHD and HbA1c in newly diagnosed T1DM children (r = 0.164; P > 0.05). Conclusion Vitamin D deficiency is common in T1DM children, and it should be worthy of attention on the lack of vitamin D in established T1DM children.
