S<\/span><\/span>tudy participants<\/span><\/span> were <\/span><\/span>137<\/span><\/span> patients<\/span><\/span> who were <\/span><\/span>admitted to <\/span><\/span>a <\/span><\/span>hospital <\/span><\/span>in Rome Italy between March 1 and April 30, <\/span><\/span>2020<\/span><\/span> with COVID-19<\/span><\/span> who<\/span><\/span> had serum 25(OH)D levels < 75 nmol\/L<\/span><\/span>, suggesting a possible role of low vitamin D status in increasing<\/span><\/span> the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection and subsequent hospitalization. The association<\/span><\/span> between <\/span><\/span>low <\/span><\/span>serum 25(OH)D levels and <\/span><\/span>increased <\/span><\/span>risk of in-hospital mortality observed in <\/span><\/span>the study<\/span><\/span> group<\/span><\/span> suggests<\/span><\/span> that a lower vitamin D status upon admission may represent a modifiable and independent risk<\/span><\/span> factor for poor prognosis <\/span><\/span>with<\/span><\/span> COVID-19.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
