    The role of vitamin D status in COVID-19 patients is debatable.
    recently, a research paper was published in Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, an authoritative journal in the field of endocrine and metabolic diseases, to assess serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) levels in hospitalized COVID-19 patients and to analyze the effects of vitamin D status on the severity of the disease.
    retrospective case control study included 216 COVID-19 patients and 197 population-based controls.
    subjects measured serum 25OHD levels in both groups.
    , the relationship between serum 25OHD levels and the severity of COVID-19 (to be admitted to an intensive care unit, requiring mechanical aeration or death) was assessed.
    19 of the 216 patients were treated with vitamin D supplements and analyzed separately.
    in patients with COVID-19, the average ±SD level of 25OHD was 13.8±7.2 ng/ml, compared with 20.9±7.4 ng/ml in the control group.
    25OHD in men was lower than in women, vitamin D deficiency was found in 82.2% of COVID-19 cases and 47.2% of population controls .
    25OHD levels were inversely inversely related to serum ferrin (p=0.013) and D-d-djumer levels (p=0.027).
    patients with
    vitamin D deficiency had a higher prevalence of hypertension and cardiovascular disease, elevated levels of serum ferrin and tsporine, and longer hospital stays than those with 25OHD≥20 ng/ml.
    cause-and-effect relationship between vitamin D deficiency and the severity of COVID-19.
    , the prevalence of deficiency was higher in hospitalized COVID-19 patients with lower levels of 25OHD than in population-based control groups.
    researchers found no link between vitamin D concentrations or vitamin deficiency and the severity of the disease.
