    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2022-07-13) Palma Gutierrez, Edgardo Jhoffre; De León Delgado, Joel
    Serum vitamin D deficiency has been reported to be significantly associated with poor outcomes in acute respiratory infections (incidence and severity). However, the results and outcomes of vitamin D supplementation in clinical trials have been heterogeneous. The information search was carried out in the Medline and Cochrane databases, finding 20 articles on the topic, 8 articles were selected that were evaluated by the CASPE critical reading tool, finally selecting the clinical trial titled: “High Dose Monthly Vitamin D for Prevention of Acute Respiratory Infection in Older Long-Term Care Residents: A Randomized Clinical Trial”, which has a level of evidence I and a Strong recommendation grade, according to the researcher's expertise. The critical comment allowed us to conclude that supplementation with 100,000 IU of vitamin D monthly for 12 months reduced the incidence of acute respiratory infections in the operated population.
