Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Increase in the prevalence and survival rates has led to the assessment of disease activity and quality of life of SLE patients as targets in treatment. Cholecalciferol supplementation was considered as having a role in reducing disease activity and improving quality of life.This research was a double blind, randomized, controlled trial was conducted on female outpatients aged 18-60 years with SLE, consecutively recruited from September to December 2021 at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital. Sixty subjects who met the research criteria were randomized and equally assigned into the cholecalciferol and placebo groups. The study outcomes were measured at baseline and after 12 weeks of intervention. we measured he level of vitamin D before and after intervention, the disease activity by MEX-SLEDAI score and the quality of life by Lupus QoL

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- level of disease activity of participants at 12 weeks [level of vitamin d was measured at 12 weeks after the intervention]
level of disease activity from the participants at 12 weeks as respons from taking vitamin D and placebo by using Mex-sledai with score from 0 until 34. no activity or remission is 0-1, mild 2-5, moderate 6-9, severe 10-13, very severe more than and equally of 14.
- Level of quality of life of participants at 12 weeks [level of quality of life was measured at 12 weeks after intervention]
Level of lupus quality of life from the participants at 12 weeks as respsons from taking vitamin d and placebo by using Lupus QoL with score minimal 0, maximal 100. better quality of life > 75
Secondary Outcome Measures
- the level vitamin D of participants at 12 weeks [Level of vitamin D was measured at 12 weeks after intervention]
the level of vitamin D from participants at 12 weeks as respons from taking vitamin D3 and placebo
