Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Improvement of the clinical and inflammatory condition. For this, the following parameters will be used: reduction in the number of hospitalizations, reduction in the frequency of pain episodes, reduction in pain intensity, blood count evaluation, lipid profile, C-reactive protein, lactate dehydrogenase, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF- a), VCAM, P-selectin, HbS and HbF concentration, indirect oximetry. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| evaluation of vitamin D levels in patients with sickle cell anemia. Those that are sufficient or deficient according to the measurement of 25 (OH) D will be evaluated, using high performance liquid chromatography coupled with a dioderray detector (HPLC-DAD).;reduction of vaso-occlusive pain crises, through reporting and / or consulting the medical record of the number of hospitalizations before and after supplementation.;improvement of the disposition, through the report of daily activities and tiredness (fatigue) or improvement of the disposition when performing them, before and after the supplementation.;improvement of the hemolytic and vaso-occlusive condition, with evaluation of lactate dehydrogenase and haptoglobin. | — |
