A study of 780 cases with laboratory-confirmed infection of SARS-CoV-2 in Indonesia "Majority of the COVID-19 cases with insufficient and deficient Vitamin D status died." "For Vitamin D status, cases were classified based on their serum 25(OH)D levels: normal - serum 25(OH)D of > 30 ng/ml, insufficient - serum 25(OH)D of 21-29 ng/ml, and deficient - serum 25(OH)D of < 20 ng/ml. This classification was based on existing literature." 98.9% of Vitamin D deficient cases died while only 1.1% of them were active cases. 87.8% of Vitamin D insufficient cases died while only 12.2% of them were active cases. Only 4.1% of cases with normal Vitamin D levels died while 95.9% of them were active cases Vitamin D insufficient cases were approximately 12.55 times more likely to die (OR=12.55; p<0.001) while Vitamin D deficient cases were approximately 19.12 times more likely to die from the disease" drive.google.com/.../view
