Effect of High-dose Cholecalciferol Supplementation on Perioperative Vitamin D Status in Colorectal Surgery Patients
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating 100,000 IU cholecalciferol and Placebo for Hypovitaminosis D. Completed, enrolled 60 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
A growing body of evidence suggests that robust postoperative immune function is associated with a lower risk of surgical site infections (SSIs). At the same time, vitamin D is increasingly recognized as a key regulator of the innate and adaptive immune systems. The investigators elected to conduct the current study in patients who will undergo colorectal surgery since these patients are historically at higher risk of developing SSIs and therefore would be ideal for future investigations.
