SCP Battistelli·observational·Posted Mar 15, 2018·Updated Mar 26, 2018

In Brief

An observational study evaluating Vitamin C for Alcoholics. Completed, enrolled 47 participants.

Detailed Summary

Scurvy, or latent scurvy, may be underestimated in developed countries, but continue to be described, often as case report. Little is known about the prevalence of vitamin C deficiency in a specific population as withdrawal alcoholics and about his possible consequences, latent scurvy. In an observational study, the investigators will evaluate prospectively the prevalence of vitamin C deficiency in alcoholic withdrawal patients, its correlation with latent scurvy, mainly tiredness and weakness, and the evolution of the latter at three months after oral vitamin C supplementation.
