Cochrane Reviews, 10/28/09
Ferguson JH et al. – Cystic fibrosis with pancreatic insufficiency can cause vitamins, such as vitamin D, to be inadequately absorbed leading to vitamin deficiencies. Lack of vitamin D (vitamin D deficiency) can cause specific problems such as bone deformity and bone fractures. It can also be associated with poorer general and respiratory health. Thus, people with cystic fibrosis are usually given regular vitamin D preparations from a very young age. However, excess vitamin D can also cause respiratory problems and problems with high calcium levels. The review contains three trials, but the authors could only extract data from two trials. The authors found no evidence to show whether giving vitamin D regularly to people with cystic fibrosis is beneficial or not. The authors are unable to draw any conclusions regarding the routine administration of Vitamin D supplements and recommend that until further evidence is available, local guidelines are followed regarding this practice.
