Prevalence of 25-hydroxyvitamin D deficiency in child and adolescent patients undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation compared to a healthy population

Abstract: At time of transplant, pediatric HCT patients frequently have 25-hydroxyvitamin D insufficiency/deficiency, and this occurs more commonly than in the healthy pediatric population. HCT patients rarely follow recommended guidelines to take supplemental vitamin D, consume the Recommended Daily Allowance for vitamin D, or regularly use sunscreen. Further studies are needed to determine whether vitamin D insufficiency/deficiency persists long term in HCT patients and requires dietary and behavioral interventions.

“…The observed correlation was almost entirely driven by time spent in the sun rather than the amount of exposed skin, suggesting that the categories for time exposed to sunlight proposed by them (<5 min, 5–30 min and >30 min) are easily recalled and likely to be of biological significance. Positive (but moderate) correlations of sun exposure score and 25(OH)D concentrations were also seen among North‐American youths (1–21 years old) . Wakayo et al .…”

“…In our study, low serum vitamin D levels were not associated with development of any or severe GVHD in the unadjusted or adjusted models; however, our analysis was limited due to the lack of standardized collection times at baseline and during the posttransplantation period and should be viewed purely as exploratory data. With evidence that many pediatric patients have low levels of 25(OH)D both at the time of transplantation and during the posttransplantation period, a larger prospective study is needed to determine whether a similar association with aGVHD is present in children …”

“…The control population data was collected from a de-identified database of 100 healthy pediatric patients who live in similar middle-Tennessee geography, as previously reported [19]. This population included individuals between the ages of 1 -21 years who live in similar middle-Tennessee geography and who were having bloodwork obtained at an outpatient clinic at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital.…”
