Association between vitamin D status and risk of covid-19 in-hospital mortality: A systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies

Armin Ebrahimzadeh et al.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to explore the association between vitamin D status and risk of COVID-19 in-hospital mortality. The findings indicate a significant positive relationship between vitamin D deficiency and elevated risk of COVID-19 in-hospital mortality, while each unit increment in serum vitamin D levels was associated with a significant reduction in risk of COVID-19 mortality. Further prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Vitamin D Regulation of Immune Function

Daniel D. Bikle

Summary: This review examines the mechanisms by which vitamin D and its metabolites regulate the immune system to enhance the body's ability to prevent and/or treat SARS-CoV2 and other respiratory infections. Recent findings suggest that vitamin D deficiency is linked to an increased risk of such infections, while clinical trials show that correcting deficiency reduces the severity of SARS-CoV2 infection. Vitamin D and its metabolites promote innate immune response and restrict excessive inflammation, making them potential targets for prevention and treatment of respiratory infections.

Summary: This study investigated the association between host genetic polymorphisms of the VDR and DBP genes and susceptibility to COVID-19 in the Iranian population. The results showed a significant association between the rs2228570 SNP in the VDR gene and COVID-19 susceptibility. However, the polymorphisms of other genes (rs7975232 and rs731236 in the VDR gene, rs7041 in the DBP gene) were not associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection susceptibility.

Summary: This study in the Portuguese population investigated the prevalence of high impact variants in genes associated with the vitamin D pathways and the genetic background's impact on COVID-19 severity. Results show a relationship between polymorphisms in the GC gene and infection severity, as well as an association between 25(OH)D levels and survival outcomes. These findings suggest a genetic susceptibility for vitamin D deficiency may contribute to higher severity in COVID-19 patients, emphasizing the importance of personalized strategies in viral diseases.
