High-dose versus standard-dose vitamin D supplementation in older adults with COVID- 19 (COVIT-TRIAL): A multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled superiority trial
et al., PLoS Medicine, doi:10.1371/journal.pmed.1003999
RCT comparing single dose 400,000IU and single dose 50,000IU vitamin D in France, showing lower mortality with the higher dose, statistically significant only at day 14.The aHR for days 0-5 was 1.30 [0.31-5.35], compared to 0.11 [0.02-0.52] for days 6-14, which in part may reflect the conversion delay for cholecalciferol treatment. The lower efficacy at day 28 vs. day 14 may in part reflect use of only a single dose.
