Lack of association between vitamin D insufficiency and clinical outcomes of patients with COVID-19 infection

Abstract Background A protective effect of vitamin D against COVID-19 infection is under investigation. We aimed to analyze the sufficiency on clinical outcomes patients infected with COVID-19. Methods In this cross-sectional study we analyzed levels who were admitted Razi Hospital (an infectious disease referral center in Mazandaran province northern Iran) from February March 2020. Overall, a cutoff point 30 ng/mL was used for definition sufficiency. Results One hundred fifty-three had laboratory documentation 25(OH) level at time hospitalization. The 27.19 ± 20.17 ng/mL. total, 62.7% ( n = 96) less than and 37.25% 57) more 49% 75) suffered least one underlying disease. univariate multivariable regression showed that not associated statistically significant lower risk adverse such as duration hospitalization severity P > 0.05). Conclusions Sufficient found be Chronic disorders have greater relevance determining infection. Further studies are needed determine role predicting
