Low Vitamin D Status at Admission as a Risk Factor for Poor Survival in Hospitalized Patients With COVID-19: An Italian Retrospective Study

Marco Infante et al.

Summary: Preliminary findings suggest a relationship between lower serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and COVID-19 incidence and severity. In this study, patients with hypovitaminosis D upon admission showed worse clinical outcomes, with higher levels of inflammatory and coagulation markers. Lower vitamin D status at admission was significantly associated with increased risk of in-hospital mortality in COVID-19 patients, highlighting its potential as a modifiable risk factor.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of high-dose oral cholecalciferol supplementation on SARS-CoV-2 viral clearance. The results show that supplementation with cholecalciferol can increase the proportion of vitamin D-deficient individuals who become SARS-CoV-2 RNA negative and reduce fibrinogen levels.

Summary: The study evaluated patients with confirmed COVID-19 between March and June 2020, finding a higher proportion of low vitamin-D levels in ICU patients, with an association to younger age and higher viral loads. However, there were no significant differences in clinical outcomes between patients with low and normal vitamin-D levels. Further large scale randomized controlled trials are needed to explore the relationship between vitamin-D levels and COVID-19 infection.

Vitamin D Status Is Associated With In-Hospital Mortality and Mechanical Ventilation: A Cohort of COVID-19 Hospitalized Patients

Angeliki M. Angelidi et al.

Summary: A study found an inverse association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and in-hospital mortality and the need for invasive mechanical ventilation in patients admitted with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19. Further observational studies are needed to confirm these findings, and randomized clinical trials should be conducted to assess the role of vitamin D administration in improving the morbidity and mortality of COVID-19.

Melina Farshbafnadi et al.

Summary: The elderly population is at a higher risk of severe impacts from COVID-19 due to factors such as increased ACE-2 expression, immune dysregulation, decreased sex hormones, oxidative stress, and comorbidities like cardiovascular diseases and diabetes mellitus. These factors contribute to the higher mortality and morbidity rates observed in older adults infected with SARS-CoV-2.

Effect of a Single High Dose of Vitamin D3 on Hospital Length of Stay in Patients With Moderate to Severe COVID-19 A Randomized Clinical Trial

Summary: The study found that a single high dose of vitamin D-3 did not significantly reduce hospital length of stay among hospitalized patients with COVID-19. The findings do not support the use of a high dose of vitamin D-3 for treatment of moderate to severe COVID-19.

Low Circulating Vitamin D in Intensive Care Unit-Admitted COVID-19 Patients as a Predictor of Negative Outcomes

Mikhail Bychinin et al.

Summary: Vitamin D deficiency is associated with an increased risk of respiratory infections. This study aimed to evaluate serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration in ICU patients as a predictor of COVID-19 mortality. The results showed that patients with lower serum 25(OH)D concentration on admission had a higher risk of mortality, indicating it can be used as a predictive factor for in-hospital mortality in COVID-19 patients.

COVID-19 Disease Severity and Death in Relation to Vitamin D Status among SARS-CoV-2-Positive UAE Residents

Habiba AlSafar et al.

Summary: Insufficient blood levels of neurohormone vitamin D, particularly below 12 ng/mL, may increase the severity and mortality risk of COVID-19. Age is the only independent risk factor, while gender, comorbidities, and smoking do not significantly affect outcomes. This study in the UAE is the first to measure 25(OH)D levels in SARS-CoV-2-positive patients and confirm its association with COVID-19 severity and mortality.

Vitamin D supplementation to prevent acute respiratory infections: a systematic review and meta-analysis of aggregate data from randomised controlled trials

David A. Jolliffe et al.

Summary: Vitamin D supplementation was found to be safe and reduce the risk of acute respiratory infections, especially when administered in daily doses of 400-1000 IU for up to 12 months and to participants aged 1.00-15.99 years. However, the relevance of these findings to COVID-19 is uncertain and further investigation is needed.

Summary: Vitamin D plays a protective role by modulating the immune system and systemic inflammatory response, reducing the risk and severity of COVID-19 infection. Patients with deficient vitamin D levels are more likely to be infected with COVID-19, and are more likely to experience severe symptoms and death.
