Abstract

Objectives: To assess the  concentration of serum 25(OH)D in children with pneumonia and the relationship between the serum 25(OH)D concentration and the severity of pneumonia. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive prospective study in 84 children with pneumonia  from August 2020 to July 2021 at the Vietnam National Children's Hospital. Results: The average age of children  was 14.6 ± 10.5 months, with  severe pneumonia accounting for 20.2%. The concentration of 25(OH)D was  91.8 ± 41.7nmol/l (ranged from  29.1 nmol/l to 261.6nmol/l). The  prevalance  of  children with 25(OH)D concentration < 50 nmol/l was 11.9%.  Low concentrations of  25(OH)D related to  a risk of severe pneumonia. Longer hospital stay in children with low 25(OH)D concentrations. Conclusion: Children with low 25(OH)D concentrations  have a high risk of severe pneumonia and a longer hospitalised stay.
