A questionnaire that will be given to the patients at each visit which is a major predictor of quality of life in HHT patients.
The score includes six independent predictors of self-described epistaxis severity. The responses will then be weighted by respective coefficients and these added together to give a raw ESS, which will then be divided by the range of the raw score (2.71) and multiplied by 10 to give normalized ESS within the range of 0 to 10 (no epistaxis to severe epistaxis).

Current Primary Outcome Measures ICMJE |
Change in Epistaxis Severity Score [ Time Frame: Baseline, 3 months, and 6 months ] A questionnaire that will be given to the patients at each visit which is a major predictor of quality of life in HHT patients.
The score includes six independent predictors of self-described epistaxis severity. The responses will then be weighted by respective coefficients and these added together to give a raw ESS, which will then be divided by the range of the raw score (2.71) and multiplied by 10 to give normalized ESS within the range of 0 to 10 (no epistaxis to severe epistaxis).

Current Secondary Outcome Measures ICMJE |
Change in Modified Lund-Kennedy Score [ Time Frame: Baseline, 3 months, and 6 months ] The score is an objective measure based on Endoscopic sinonasal mucosal inflammation. The score is determined from a range of 0-12 with higher numbers indicating worse inflammation. Endoscopy will determine the density and location of telangiectasias, vascular morphology or patterns, relative percentage of arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), degree of crusting, septal perforation and site.

Brief Title ICMJE | Vitamin D and Hereditary Haemorrhagic Telangiectasia | ||||
Official Title ICMJE | Vitamin D Supplementation and Reduction of Severity and Frequency of Epistaxis in Hereditary Haemorrhagic Telangiectasia | ||||
Brief Summary | The study aims to assess whether supplementing vitamin D in patients diagnosed with Hereditary Haemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT) will decrease the frequency and severity of nosebleeds these patients experience. It is hypothesized that the larger the dose of daily vitamin D given to the patients, the less frequent and less severe the nosebleeds will be. | ||||
Detailed Description |
The proposed study is a prospective double-blinded, placebo controlled, randomized control trial. All the St. Paul's Sinus Centre patients willing to participate in the study will be invited for screening. Currently, the clinic has ~60 patients with HHT; therefore the investigators hope to enrol ~20 patients in each of the three study arms. Consenting patient will be randomized to ensure equal number of experimental and control patients are in each arm. A closed envelop system will be used to randomize participants within each arm. Patients diagnosed with HHT who are not taking vitamin D supplementation at the time of recruitment will be randomized into one of the following three groups:
Upon enrolment in the study, demographic data will be obtained, including age, gender, and ethnicity. Patient's will also have baseline blood work drawn, standard of care, (full hematological profile, ferritin, aPTT, INR, serum vitamin D, IgE) and be asked to fill out a questionnaire to provide a baseline Epistaxis Severity Score (ESS). This questionnaire is routinely used to assess quality of life in HHT patients and includes six independent predictors of self-described epistaxis severity. Baseline nasal endoscopic scoring will also be performed by endoscopic imaging of the nasal cavity. The patients will be instructed on dosing of vitamin D supplementation. Patients will continue daily supplementation for three months until the first follow up visit. At the first follow-up visit patients will again have blood work drawn, be asked to fill out the ESS questionnaire, and receive nasal endoscopic scoring. The last follow-up visit will be at six months and a repeat of the same procedures/tests will be carried out. 6. Statistical Analysis: The primary outcome of this study will be the Epistaxis Severity Score (ESS), which is obtained from patient questionnaires. The secondary outcome will be the Nasal Endoscopic Score. The difference in the ESS and endoscopic score before and after supplementation within and between groups will be analyzed using paired and unpaired students t-tests based on the variance results. Descriptive statistics (mean, median, SD) will be used to describe demographic and hematological data collected. |
