Alopecia areata is an inflammatory disease, autoimmune mediated by T lymphocytes disease Therapy for alopecia areata is to suppress immune and inflammatory processes that occur in alopecia areata. Corticosteroid therapy is one modality of therapy for alopecia areata, because it has anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects.

Abstract

Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that commonly affects children, with increasing prevalence worldwide. Vitamin D has demonstrated immunomodulatory effects, suggesting a potential role in AD management. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of vitamin D supplementation in reducing AD severity in children. Methods: A systematic search of PubMed, Science Direct, and Cochrane databases was conducted for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published between 2012 and 2024, investigating the effects of vitamin D supplementation on AD in children. The primary outcome was the change in SCORAD (SCORing Atopic Dermatitis) or EASI (Eczema Area and Severity Index) scores. Meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager (RevMan 5.4) software. Results: Four RCTs met the inclusion criteria, comprising a total of 234 participants. The meta-analysis revealed a significant reduction in SCORAD scores (-2.83; 95% CI: -4.9, -0.76) and EASI scores (-0.41; 95% CI: -0.70, -0.13) in the vitamin D supplementation groups compared to the control groups. A combined analysis of both scoring systems further confirmed the overall significant effect of vitamin D in reducing AD severity (-1.57; 95% CI: -2.78, -0.36). Conclusion: Vitamin D supplementation is effective in improving AD symptoms in children. Further large-scale RCTs are warranted to determine the optimal dosage and duration of vitamin D supplementation for AD management in children.
