Vitamin D Status and COVID-19 Clinical Outcomes in Hospitalized Patients
et al., Endocrine Research, doi:10.1080/07435800.2020.1867162
Retrospective 93 hospitalized patients with vitamin D levels 1-365 days before admission, not showing significant differences with vitamin D deficiency or vitamin D levels. Vitamin D levels may vary significantly throughout the year creating a major cofounder that authors do not adjust for.
