High-dose Vitamin D Supplement for the Prevention of Acute Asthma-like Symptoms in Preschool Children - a Double-blind, Randomized, Controlled Trial
To investigate whether high-dose vitamin D supplementation may have a beneficial effect on secondary prevention in preschool children (1-5 years of age), with respiratory infections being the primary cause of acute exacerbations with asthma-like symptoms.
• The study population consists of children in the age group 1-5 years admitted to a pediatric ward, due to an acute episode with asthma-like symptoms. An acute asthma-like episode will be defined as annoying coughing, wheezing (wheezing or wheezing in connection with exhalation) and / or dyspnoea, which affects the child's well-being and requires hospitalization in a pediatric ward. Participation in the study requires that the child is in or has been in treatment with SABA, as monotherapy, or in combination with ICS, and possibly also in combination with LTRA in accordance with the Danish guidelines
