Abstract
This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the association between serum vitamin D concentrations and the risk of pneumonia in children. Human studies reporting serum vitamin D levels in children with pneumonia and healthy controls were collected from different databases. The standardized mean difference and 95% confidence interval were calculated to evaluate the relationship between risk incidence of pneumonia and serum vitamin D levels. The results of analysis showed that serum vitamin D levels in children with pneumonia were significantly lower than those in healthy control children.
期刊介绍:
Topics in Clinical Nutrition (TICN) is a peer-reviewed, quarterly journal designed as a resource for the continuing education and clinical practice of dietitians and nutritionists. Each issue addresses topics of interest primarily to dietitians and nutritionists, students and interns in professional training programs and other health care personnel involved in the nutritional care of patients. Articles include translational research reports (work that applies new knowledge to practical effect), practice projects, evidence-based literature reviews, case studies and book reviews, and articles that highlight education theory and applied research which share the tools and techniques of nutrition and dietetics education.
