E-061 Moyamoya syndrome patients have low vitamin D
ConclusionOur data indicate a large proportion of moyamoya syndrome patients are deficient in vitamin D, which we hypothesize contributes to pathological severity. Future studies incorporating vitamin D supplementation may act as a novel intervention for this patient population that currently has few treatment options.Disclosures J. Fraser: None. L.

Research Progress on the Correlation Between Vitamin D and Neurological Disorders
Conclusion VD deficiency is very common in the population and is associated with a variety of neurological diseases. VD, a neuroactive steroid, plays an important role in the protection of the central nervous system. In contrast, stroke can cause epilepsy and varying degrees of changes in cognitive function. Furthermore, seizure and epilepsy can cause changes in cognitive function. The degree of alteration in cognitive function affects the occurrence and progression of stroke and epilepsy. Therefore, VD can be used for the comprehensive treatment of neurological diseases.PMID:34936071 | DOI:10.5137/1019-5149.JTN.34816-21.1

Vitamin D status and 3-month Glasgow Outcome Scale scores in patients in neurocritical care: prospective analysis of 497 patients.
CONCLUSIONS Vitamin D deficiency is associated with worse 3-month postdischarge GOS scores in patients admitted to an NCCU. Additional study is needed to determine the role of vitamin D supplementation in the NCCU population. PMID: 28799870 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
