TL;DR: A single, oral bolus of cholecalciferol increased serum 25(OH)D concentrations and was associated with a trend toward improved clinical outcomes in CF subjects hospitalized for a pulmonary exacerbation, and further investigation is needed into the clinical impact of improved vitamin D status in patients with CF.
Journal ArticleDOI
