Measures of secondary clinical outcomes will include length of hospital stay and incidence of post-operation infection. Our central hypothesis is that, relative to patients receiving peri-operative standard of care, patients receiving 250,000 units of Vitamin D pre-operatively will manifest levels of Vitamin D to within the normal range and will have elevated levels of cathelicidin. We further hypothesize that patients receiving Vitamin D will have reduced incidence of infection, which will correlate with lower levels of resistin, and will exhibit trends toward shorter hospital stay. Our proposed specific aims are:
