Vitamin D 25(OH)D3 Levels in Patients Infected with SARS-CoV-2. The Effects on Hospital Admission Status, Hospital Length of Stay and COVID-19 Mortality Rate
Abstract: Introduction: Several reports have found an effect of vitamin D on the course of certain infections, including COVID-19. Aim: Based on these reports, the present study measured serum vitamin D levels in COVID-19 adult patients and analysed the correlations between vitamin D levels and many aspects due to COVID-19. Materials and methods: This study involves a cohort of adult patients with COVID-19 interstitial pneumonia (n 301). The group was divided into subgroups based on baseline vitamin D levels (50). The relationship of baseline vitamin D levels with patients' health status on admission, hospital length of stay, need for ICU transfer and in-hospital mortality rates was analysed. Results: There was a significant inverse correlation between baseline vitamin D levels and WHO COVID-19 severity on admission (p
