Aim: To minimize the duration of vitamin-D insufficiency, current treatment regimes are initiated with an oral bolus dose of cholecalciferol. We have previously developed an algorithm (# Dekristol caps/Vigantol ml =(80 nmol/l – initial [s-25-OH-d-vit])/7 nmol/l) for determining the dosage of this bolus, aimed at reaching a serum 25-OH vitamin-D of 80 nmol/l. Our main aim was to investigate the accuracy of this algorithm.Materials: A retrospective st...
