Retrospective phone survey of 1,486 Parkinson's disease patients in Italy, showing lower risk of COVID-19 cases with vitamin D supplementation. This paper also presents a case control study of PD patients and family member control patients.
risk of case, 42.0% lower, RR 0.58, p = 0.048, treatment 13 of 329 (4.0%), control 92 of 1,157 (8.0%), NNT 25, odds ratio converted to relative risk.

Objectives: The study aimed to address all these issues. Methods: In a case-controlled survey, we interviewed 1,486 PD patients attending a single tertiary center in Lombardy, Italy and 1,207 family members (controls). Results: One hundred five (7.1%) and 92 controls (7.6%) were identified as COVID-19 cases. COVID-19 patients were younger, more likely to suffer from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, to be obese, and vitamin D nonsupplemented than unaffected patients. Six patients (5.7%) and 7 family members (7.6%) died from COVID-19. Patients were less likely to report shortness of breath and require hospitalization. Conclusions: In an unselected large cohort of nonadvanced PD patients, COVID-19 risk and mortality did not differ from the general population, but symptoms appeared to be milder. The possible protective role of vitamin D supplementation warrants future studies. © 2020 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society -*Correspondence - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -to:- - Dr. - - - Emanuele - - - - - - - - -Cereda, - - - - - - Clinical - - - - - - -Nutrition - - - - - - -and ------Dietetics Unit, Fondazione IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo, Viale Golgi 19, 27100 Pavia, Italy; E-mail: e.cereda@smatteo.pv.it Relevant conflicts of interest/financial disclosures: Nothing to report.

DOI: 10.1002/mds.28176 Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS Co-V2) emerged in the region of Wuhan in China around December last year and spread so rapidly that the World Health Organization declared coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) a pandemic on 11 March 2020.1 Specific pre-existing medical conditions and advanced age appear to be linked to more severe manifestations of the infection,1,2 thus raising the question of whether Parkinson’s disease (PD) poses an increased risk of morbidity and mortality in COVID-19 patients.3 The first reported case of COVID-19 in a 74-year-old PD patient complicated by encephalopathy has recently been described.4 A series of 10 PD patients collected in Padua, Italy and London, United Kingdom reported a high mortality rate (40%), and worsening of anxiety and other nonmotor features,5 in keeping with a recent survey among patients and caregivers.6 We..
