Prevalence of vitamin D deficiency among COVID-19 patients
A cross-sectional study
Keywords:
vitamin D, COVID-19, co-morbidityAbstract
To determine the prevalence of Vitamin D deficiency among COVID-19 patients. The present study was conducted at Rural Tertiary Care Centre Designated COVID Care Hospital, MMIMSR Mullana Ambala, Haryana, India. The duration of the study was 1.5 months (Aug 2020 to Sep 2020). Those who tested positive in RT-PCR were taken from the wards and Flu clinic of the hospital. To calculate the sample size for cross-sectional study, enough literature for Vitamin D and COVID-19 in India was not available. Therefore, all patients were enrolled consecutively over 1.5 months. Data were collected on a pre-validated Case Recording Form. The demographic data of all the COIVD-19 patients were recorded. Comorbid conditions like diabetes and hyper- tension were also recorded. History of alcohol consumption and smoking was recorded. The sample for Vitamin D along with routine investigations was sent and the level of Vitamin D was estimated using chemiluminescence-based immunoassay analyzer. To understand the Vitamin D status among the different groups, deficiency, and insufficiency were calculated separately and compared. This study included 200 COVID-19 patients. Among total patients, males (57.5%) were represented more than females (42.5%). The mean age of the patients was 45.56 ± 26.23 years.
