Prospective study of 140 COVID-19 patients in Pakistan, showing significantly higher mortality with vitamin D deficiency.

This is the 7th of 184 COVID-19 sufficiency studies for vitamin D, which collectively show higher levels reduce risk with p<0.0000000001 (1 in 712 vigintillion). This study is excluded in the after exclusion results of meta analysis: unadjusted results with no group details.
