Analysis of 97 COVID-19 CCU patients in India. Patients with severe COVID-19 had significantly lower vitamin D levels compared to those with moderate COVID-19. There was a significant correlation between lower vitamin D levels and more severe cases. 19.6% of patients were vitamin D deficient (<20 ng/ml) and 42.2% were vitamin D insufficient (20-30 ng/ml).

Vitamin D status in Covid-19 patients admitted to the critical care unit of an Eastern India hospital

The COVID-19 patients experienced acute respiratory distress during their SARS-CoV-2 infections. The present observational study was undertaken to find out the possible association between vitamin D and COVID-19 clinical severity in a tertiary care hospital from November 2021 to February 2022. Patients admitted to the hospital's Critical Care Unit (CCU) with SARS-CoV-2 illness were selected for blood vitamin D estimations. Patients' conditions were evaluated clinically and correlated with serum vitamin D levels. Out of a total of 97 COVID-19 patients selected, 64.9% were male. Clinically, 41.3% of patients had a severe COVID-19 infection, compared to a moderate infection incidence of 58.7%. Among them, 19.6% and 42.2% were found to be vitamin D deficient and vitamin D insufficient, respectively. Serum vitamin D was significantly (p<0.001) reduced with age (≤ ≤ ≤ ≤ ≤ 60 yrs vs. ≥ ≥ ≥ ≥ ≥ 60 yrs) and with disease severe (moderate vs. severe). The insufficiency/deficiency of vitamin D was higher among the aged acute respiratory-infected COVID-19 patients. Therefore, vitamin D deficiency may be one of the main causes of severe illness in SARS-CoV-2 patients.
