Retrospective 11,182 hospitalized patients in Romania, showing vitamin D deficiency associated with COVID-19 cases.
risk of case, 27.6% lower, OR 0.72, p < 0.001, high D levels (≥20ng/mL) 7,958, low D levels (<20ng/mL) 3,224, inverted to make OR<1 favor high D levels (≥20ng/mL), RR approximated with OR.
risk of case, 7.4% higher, OR 1.07, p = 0.19, high D levels (≥30ng/mL) 4,367, low D levels (<30ng/mL) 6,815, inverted to make OR<1 favor high D levels (≥30ng/mL), RR approximated with OR.

Vitamin D is associated with a pleiotropic effect (immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory and antiviral), which can be essential for a better immune response. The aim of this research was to evaluate the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency in hospitalized patients focusing on demographic parameters as well as assessing the possibility of its associations with different comorbidities. Of 11,182 Romanian patients evaluated in the study over 2 years, 28.83% had vitamin D deficiency, 32.11% insufficiency and 39.05% had optimal vitamin D levels. The vitamin D deficiency was associated with cardiovascular disorders, malignancies, dysmetabolic disorders and SARS-CoV2 infection, older age and the male sex. Vitamin D deficiency was prevalent and showed pathology association, while insufficiency of vitamin D (20–30 ng/mL) had lower statistical relevance and represents a grey zone in vitamin D status. Guidelines and recommendations are necessary for homogeneity of the monitoring and management of inadequately vitamin D status in the risk categories.
