NCT04292873

Brief Summary

At present, there is no clinical reference data on how much the concentration of calcifediol in the blood increases after supplementing with vitamin D for Taiwanese ICU patients. This study aims to investigate the effects of enteral supplementation of vitamin D in critically ill patients with vitamin D deficiency. The results of the study are expected to provide clinical reference data to intensivists to select adequate dosage of vitamin D supplementation for their patients with vitamin D deficiency. This is a multi-center, randomized clinical trial. ICU patients will receive vitamin D level examination. If the subject's blood calcifediol concentration is less than 20 ng / mL, the subject will be included in this clinical trial. Patients who are suitable to enteral supplement of vitamin D will be randomly divided to group Control (no vitamin D supplement) and group Vitamin D (enteral supplement of 569,600 IU vitamin D). The vitamin D level will be measures at specific time points.
