ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryIntent-to-treat Hospital Length-of-stayUntil dischargeIntent-to-treat hospital length-of-stay
PrimaryAs-treated Hospital Length of StayUntil discharge
Two-sided t-test evaluated comparing length of stay in vitamin D3 vs. placebo treated patients utilizing patients after randomization, factoring excluded patients (e.g., as-treated) using a p\<0.05 as significant.
SecondaryIntent-to-treat ICU Length of StayUntil discharge
Two-sided t-test evaluated comparing length of stay within the ICU specifically in vitamin D3 vs. placebo treated patients utilizing patients after randomization (e.g., intent-to-treat) using a p\<0.05 as significant.
SecondaryAs-treated ICU Length of StayUntil discharge
Two-sided t-test evaluated comparing length of stay within the ICU specifically in vitamin D3 vs. placebo treated patients utilizing patients after randomization but excluding patients who did not receive treatment (e.g., as-treated) using a p\<0.05 as significant.
SecondaryIn-hospital MortalityUntil dischargeIn-hospital mortality
SecondaryNumber of Participants With Study Drug Related Adverse EventsUntil discharge
The occurrence of patients who suffered mortality, adverse events or severe adverse events, related specifically to the study drug was monitored. Severe adverse events are defined using common terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE) grade 3 or higher specific to vitamin D from time of study drug administration to discharge.
SecondaryNumber of Participants With SepsisUntil dischargeDiagnosis of sepsis
SecondaryNumber of Participants With PneumoniaUntil dischargePneumonia diagnosis
SecondaryNumber of Participants With Urinary Tract InfectionUntil dischargeUrinary tract infection diagnosis
