Intervention assignment
Parallel
Other design features
This was a 2 Arm study. Participants were directed into either Arm based on serum 25OHD levels at baseline. Participants with 25OHD levels <50 nmol/L were classified vitamin D deficient and directed into Arm 1. Participants who were >=50 nmol/L were classified as vitamin D sufficient and directed into Arm 2.

Statistical methods / analysis
Standard statistical methods will be applied, i.e. establish whether variable is parametric/non-parametric and apply appropriate statistical test. Initially treatments arms will be analysed separately. Initial analysis will compare whether the primary outcome (12 month vitamin D levels) is significantly different between treatments for each arm and will be used to determine the outcome of the clinical trial.
Secondary outcomes (Secondary outcomes are vitamin D level at 3, 6 and 9 months follow-up as well as serum calcium levels, serum and faecal inflammatory markers, disease activity scores QOL (IMPACT III) and growth parameters and all time points. Also when appropriate, analysis will be attempted by comparing variables between treatment arms when considered scientifically and/or clinically appropriate.
