Popis: Background: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a highly morbid condition that has limited therapeutic options. Optimal vitamin D status has been linked to immunological effects that may benefit critically ill patients. Therefore, we investigated whether admission 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels (25OHD) are associated with clinical outcomes in ARDS patients. Methods: We performed a secondary analysis of data from a randomized, controlled trial comparing oxygenation strategies in 549 patients with ARDS (NCT00000579). Baseline 25OHD was measured in stored plasma samples. We investigated the relationship between vitamin D status and ventilator-free days (VFD) as well as 90-day survival, using linear regression and Cox proportional hazard models, respectively. Analyses were adjusted for age, race, and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation III score. Results: Baseline 25OHD was measured in 476 patients. 90% of these individuals had 25OHD 10 ng/ml. Conclusions: In patients with ARDS, vitamin D status is associated with duration of mechanical ventilation and 90-day mortality. Randomized, controlled trials are warranted to determine whether vitamin D supplementation improves clinical outcomes in ARDS patients.
