Retrospective 357 COVID-19 pneumonia patients in Slovakia, showing higher mortality with vitamin D deficiency (<12ng/mL). All patients received vitamin D supplementation in hospital. In multivariable linear regression, vitamin D levels were independently associated with mortality (p=0.0398).
This is the 111th of 175 COVID-19 sufficiency studies for vitamin D, which collectively show higher levels reduce risk with p<0.0000000001 (1 in 18 vigintillion).
risk of death, 19.0% lower, RR 0.81, p = 0.05, high D levels (≥12ng/mL) 127 of 283 (44.9%), low D levels (<12ng/mL) 41 of 74 (55.4%), NNT 9.5.
Effect extraction follows pre-specified rules prioritizing more serious outcomes. Submit updates
