Meta-Analysis of Vitamin D Supplementation for Childhood Asthma Management

A systematic review and meta-analysis of 12 randomized controlled trials involving 1,239 children with asthma. The study, authored by Runze Li, evaluates the efficacy of vitamin D supplementation on lung function and other clinical outcomes. The document was last updated on May 19, 2026.

Use Cases

• Assess the impact of vitamin D on lung function based on FEV1, FVC, and PEF measures.
• Analyze the effect of supplementation on asthma control based on cACT scores.
• Evaluate changes in inflammatory markers based on FeNO and IgE levels.

Strengths

• Includes data from 12 randomized controlled trials, a standard for clinical evidence.
• Analyzes multiple outcome measures including FEV1, FVC, PEF, FeNO, cACT, and IgE.
• Published under a CC-BY-4.0 license, allowing for reuse and redistribution.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 14.9 KB DOCX document, which is a very small text file containing the analysis results, not the underlying trial data.
• Row count and column-level documentation for the aggregated trial data are unknown.
• Freshness should be verified as the underlying literature search was conducted through October 31, 2025.
