Attitudes of pediatricians regarding prevention and treatment of vitamin D deficiency.

CONCLUSION: This study showed that majority of the pediatricians still prescribe vitamin D prophylaxis late, recommend high doses of vitamin D in the case of delayed tooth eruption and think that low serum 25OHD vitamin D level regardless of ALP or PTH measurement is an indication for high dose (stoss therapy) vitamin D. These results suggest a need for new training programs focusing on vitamin D supplementation. PMID: 27087583 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
