Retrospective 317 COVID-19 hospitalized patients in Iran, showing mortality associated with lower vitamin D levels.
This is the 107th of 226 COVID-19 sufficiency studies for vitamin D, which collectively show higher levels reduce risk with p<0.0000000001 (1 in 115,066,047,903,039,356,928 vigintillion).
risk of death, 41.9% lower, RR 0.58, p = 0.07, high D levels (≥20ng/mL) 16 of 163 (9.8%), low D levels (<20ng/mL) 26 of 154 (16.9%), NNT 14.
