Vitamin D - contrary to vitamin K - does not associate with clinical outcome in hospitalized COVID-19 patients
et al., medRxiv, doi:10.1101/2020.11.07.20227512 (Preprint)
Small retrospective study of 135 patients not finding a significant difference in vitamin D status. Patients with good outcomes had a median of 45.0 nmol/L versus 37.7 nmol/L for bad outcomes, p = 0.85.Authors found that vitamin D sufficient persons had accelerated elastic fiber degradation, they hypothesize pro-calcification effects during COVID-19 and that vitamin K might compensate for this.
