About this study

Official title: Treatment Of Vitamin D Deficiency And Effect On Atopic Dermatitis Severity

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic skin disease characterized by a defective skin barrier, inflammation, and increased propensity for skin infections. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is primarily acquired through local production in the skin after ultraviolet light exposure but can also be obtained through natural and supplemental dietary sources. This randomized controlled trial will examine the effects of vitamin D repletion on atopic dermatitis severity in patients with diagnosed deficiency. The investigators hypothesize that pediatric patients with moderate or severe atopic dermatitis and vitamin D deficiency will have improved cutaneous disease after treatment with high dose as compared to standard dose vitamin D.

What is being measured

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

  1. Atopic Dermatitis Severity at the Completion of Treatment

    SCORAD at the 6 week study visit. The SCORAD (SCORing Atopic Dermatitis) is a clinical tool used to assess the extent and severity of eczema. The SCORAD is scored 0-103, with a higher score indicating more severe atopic dermatitis (worse outcome).

    Measured: 6 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Time to Restart Topical Steroids

    The time to restart topical steroids.

    Measured: 6 weeks
