Retrospective 135 hospitalized COVID-19 patients in the Philippines, showing higher risk of a poor outcome with vitamin D deficiency.

risk of progression, 71.5% lower, RR 0.29, p = 0.04, high D levels (≥30ng/mL) 7 of 38 (18.4%), low D levels (<20ng/mL) 18 of 34 (52.9%), NNT 2.9, adjusted per study, inverted to make RR<1 favor high D levels (≥30ng/mL), odds ratio converted to relative risk, combined mortality and morbidity, multivariable.

risk of death, 91.1% lower, RR 0.09, p = 0.002, high D levels (≥30ng/mL) 1 of 38 (2.6%), low D levels (<20ng/mL) 10 of 34 (29.4%), NNT 3.7, unadjusted.

risk of ICU admission, 82.1% lower, RR 0.18, p = 0.010, high D levels (≥30ng/mL) 2 of 38 (5.3%), low D levels (<20ng/mL) 10 of 34 (29.4%), NNT 4.1, unadjusted.
