J Clin Endocrinol MetabPublished Consensus statement

Recommendations

As issued by the authors

  1. Quite consistent evidence for an association between low 25(OH)D levels and poor COVID-19 outcomes, despite heterogeneous publications of variable quality

  2. Low vitamin D status in COVID-19 patients might also reflect reverse causality

  3. Vitamin D supplementation might have a positive role in COVID-19 prevention

  4. Evidence supporting a beneficial effect of vitamin D treatment in decreasing the risk of COVID-19 complications is conflicting
