Vitamin D supplementation and pain-related emergency department visits in children with sickle cell disease.

CONCLUSIONS: Our findings indicate that reductions in the number of pain-related ED visits may be achieved by normalizing 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels with supplementation. In addition, findings highlight the need for screening and vitamin D supplementation being incorporated into routine care for pediatric patients with SCD. PMID: 32147073 [PubMed - in process]
