Low Levels of Vitamin D were Associated with Coagulopathy among Hospitalized Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) Patient: a Single Centered Study in Indonesia
Low Levels of Vitamin D were Associated with Coagulopathy among Hospitalized Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) Patient: a Single Centered Study in Indonesia
Retrospective 50 hospitalized PCR+ patients in Indonesia showing ICU admission, mortality, and ISTH DIC (Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation) score>=5, and increased D-dimer significantly associated with lower vitamin D levels.
Effect extraction follows pre-specified rules prioritizing more serious outcomes. For an individual study the most serious outcome may have a smaller number of events and lower statistical signficance, however this provides the strongest evidence for the most serious outcomes when combining the results of many trials.
