alendronate and Rachitis

alendronate has been researched along with Rachitis in 2 studies

alendronic acid : A 1,1-bis(phosphonic acid) that is methanebis(phosphonic acid) in which the two methylene hydrogens are replaced by hydroxy and 3-aminopropyl groups.

Trial Outcomes

Blood 25 Hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) Concentrations

Blood 25OHD will be measured to determine vitamin D deficiency, with a concentration below 50 nmol/L used to define deficiency. A PICU admission blood sample could not be obtained for one patient in the Usual Care Group and one patient in the High Dose Group, thus the total number analyzed differs from the full sample size. (NCT01838447)
Timeframe: 1 day (On admission to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) following CHD surgery)

Interventionnmol/L (Mean)
Usual Care Group34.8
High Dose Group52.0

Number of Participants With Hypercalcemia as a Vitamin D Related Adverse Event

Hypercalcemia will be defined as an ionized calcium level above 1.40 mmol/L; or above 1.45 mmol/L for children under 8 weeks. Hypercalcemia will be evaluated in blood collected immediately before CHD surgery and throughout the post-operative course (measurements are standard of care). (NCT01838447)
Timeframe: Immediately before surgery, on admission to the PICU following CHD surgery, and on post-operative days 1,3,5 & 10

InterventionNo. participants with hypercalcemia (Number)
Usual Care Group0
High Dose Group0

Post-operative PICU Catecholamine Requirements

Primarily, post-operative catecholamine requirements during the PICU admission will be evaluated as a dichotomous variable (yes/no). If a difference is noted in the primary analysis, inotrope requirements will be determined using the inotrope score, evaluated as the maximum score and in a time to event approach (off all inotropes, score of zero) (NCT01838447)
Timeframe: At any point between PICU admission and discharge, an average length of 5-7 days and not longer than 60 days

InterventionParticipants (Count of Participants)
Usual Care Group15
High Dose Group11

Number of Participants With Hypercalciuria

Hypercalciuria will be identified using calcium:creatinine ratios defined using age-specific norms and thresholds. (NCT01838447)
Timeframe: Immediately before surgery, on admission to the PICU following CHD surgery, and on the first post-operative day
