Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary outcome will be the interaction between vitamin D binding protein genotype (GC genotype) and pre-supplementation vitamin D level in determining post-supplementation vitamin D level ;Secondary Objective: Secondary outcomes will include 1. The relationship of TB outcomes to vitamin D level and the interaction above. Clinical improvement will be defined by change in TB score, sputum bacteriology and radiology 2. The relationship of vitamin D binding protein (DBP) concentration to TB severity 3. The inter-relationship of vitamin D, DBP and other inflammatory markers with each other ;Primary end point(s): The primary outcomes will be the interaction between vitamin D binding protein genotype (GC genotype) and pre-supplementation vitamin D level in determining post-supplementation vitamin D level. | — |
