Abstract
This study was conducted on 98 children with confirmed COVID-19 and 2112 patients in a healthy control group. Serum vitamin D levels were significantly lower in the patients with confirmed COVID-19 than in the control group (10.9 ng/dL vs 16.1 ng/dL; P < .001). Almost 65% of patients with inadequate serum vitamin D levels had symptomatic COVID-19, and 30% of patients with adequate vitamin D levels had symptomatic COVID-19 ( P = .043). In the logistic model, inadequate vitamin D status was associated with symptomatic COVID-19 compared with asymptomatic COVID-19 (odds ratio = 4032; 95% confidence interval, 1.036-17.776; P = .045).
期刊介绍:
Topics in Clinical Nutrition (TICN) is a peer-reviewed, quarterly journal designed as a resource for the continuing education and clinical practice of dietitians and nutritionists. Each issue addresses topics of interest primarily to dietitians and nutritionists, students and interns in professional training programs and other health care personnel involved in the nutritional care of patients. Articles include translational research reports (work that applies new knowledge to practical effect), practice projects, evidence-based literature reviews, case studies and book reviews, and articles that highlight education theory and applied research which share the tools and techniques of nutrition and dietetics education.
