About this study

Official title: Association of Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D Levels and Outcomes in Children With Bacterial Meningitis

The purpose of this study is to determine whether deficiency of Vitamin D has association with outcomes of children with bacterial meningitis.

Read the detailed description

Vitamin D deficiency has been proved in serious diseases patients, including patients in shock, however, few study have been done about association between deficiency of Vitamin D and outcomes of children with bacterial meningitis.

in our study, we will observe incidence of complication and severity of complication between patients who have different Vitamin D status.

Medical subject headings
Meningitis, Bacterial

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. vitamin d level change

    Serum vitamin d level will be detected in the first day of hospitalization and twenty-eighth day of hospitalization, no vitamin d supplementation during this time

    Measured: change in serum vitamin d level from baseline to 28 days after initial hospitalization

Secondary outcomes (12)
  1. Clinical assessment of disease severity with Glasgow score

    Disease severity will be assessed with Glasgow score in the first day of hospitalization

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Clinical assessment of disease severity with Glasgow score

    Disease severity will be assessed with Glasgow score in the seventh day of hospitalization

    Measured: 7 day

  3. Clinical assessment of disease severity with Glasgow score

    Disease severity will be assessed with Glasgow score in the twenty-eighth day of hospitalization

    Measured: 28 day

  4. Clinical assessment of disease severity with pediatric critical illness score

    Disease severity will be assessed with pediatric critical illness score in the first day of hospitalization

    Measured: 1 day

  5. Clinical assessment of disease severity with pediatric critical illness score

    Disease severity will be assessed with pediatric critical illness score in the seventh day of hospitalization

    Measured: 7 day

  6. Clinical assessment of disease severity with pediatric critical illness score

    Disease severity will be assessed with pediatric critical illness score in the twenty-eighth day of hospitalization

    Measured: 28 day

  7. Clinical assessment of disease severity with cerebrospinal fluid examination

    Cerebrospinal fluid examination including white blood cell count, protein concentration and glucose concentration in cerebrospinal fluid

    Measured: 1 day

  8. Clinical assessment of disease severity with cerebrospinal fluid examination

    Cerebrospinal fluid examination including white blood cell count, protein concentration and glucose concentration in cerebrospinal fluid

    Measured: 7 day

  9. Clinical assessment of disease severity with cerebrospinal fluid examination

    Cerebrospinal fluid examination including white blood cell count, protein concentration and glucose concentration in cerebrospinal fluid

    Measured: 28 day

  10. Assessment of complications

    Assessment of complications include whether patients have complications, which kind of complication patients suffered, and whether needing surgical therapy.

    Measured: 1 day

  11. Assessment of complications

    Assessment of complications include whether patients have complications, which kind of complication patients suffered, and whether needing surgical therapy.

    Measured: 7 day

  12. Assessment of complications

    Assessment of complications include whether patients have complications, which kind of complication patients suffered, and whether needing surgical therapy.

    Measured: 28 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bacterial Meningitis, run by Gang Liu.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

vitamin d level change (time frame: change in serum vitamin d level from baseline to 28 days after initial hospitalization). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
