Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Vitamin D deficiency, defined as calcidiol serum concentration < 50nmol/L,
according to international standards.
Secondary outcome
Exposure to ultraviolet radiation: measured in number of hours of exposure to
UV radiation per week.
Blood serum: Calcium, Albumin, phosphate and renal function (MDRD)
Background summary
A large part of the western population has a vitamin D deficiency, but is
unaware of this condition. Vitamin D deficiency is not only common among the
adult population, also half of the young people are vitamin D deficient.
Vitamin D plays an important role in bone mineralization and during the
different stages of fracture healing. There is, however, a lack of data on
prevalence of and risk factors for vitamin D deficiency in the relatively young
population of patients with a fracture caused by trauma. For this reason, the
vitamin D serum concentration of fracture patients in the LUMC will be
determined.
Study objective
In the present study the prevalence of and risk factors for vitamin D
deficiency will be determined in a patient population with a fracture in the
upper or lower extremity.
Study design
A monocenter cross-sectional study
Study burden and risks
A total of 35cc blood will be taken from all patients, involving only minor
health risks. Also each patient will fill out a questionnaire (15min).
