Low Vitamin D Levels Are Associated With Long COVID Syndrome in COVID-19 Survivors

Abstract Context Long COVID is an emerging syndrome affecting 50% to 70% of COVID-19 survivors that still lacks predicting factors. Objective Due to the extraskeletal effects of vitamin D, we retrospectively assessed the association between 25(OH) vitamin D levels and long COVID in COVID-19 survivor...

description Abstract Context Long COVID is an emerging syndrome affecting 50% to 70% of COVID-19 survivors that still lacks predicting factors. Objective Due to the extraskeletal effects of vitamin D, we retrospectively assessed the association between 25(OH) vitamin D levels and long COVID in COVID-19 survivors 6 months after hospitalization. Methods Long COVID was defined according to NICE guidelines. Fifty long COVID and 50 non–long-COVID subjects matched on a 1:1 basis were enrolled from an outpatient clinic post-COVID cohort seen from August to November 2020. Therapies/comorbidities affecting calcium/vitamin D/bone metabolism, and/or admission to the intensive care unit during hospitalization were exclusion criteria. 25(OH) Vitamin D was measured at hospital admission and 6 months after discharge. Results We observed lower 25(OH) vitamin D levels, evaluated at follow-up, in subjects with long COVID than those without (20.1 vs 23.2 ng/mL, P = .03). Regarding the affected health areas evaluated in the entire cohort, we observed lower 25(OH) vitamin D levels in those with neurocognitive symptoms at follow-up (n = 7) than those without (n = 93) (14.6 vs 20.6 ng/mL, P = .042). In patients presenting vitamin D deficiency (

In patients presenting vitamin D deficiency (&lt;20 ng/mL), both at admission and at follow-up (n = 42), those affected by long COVID (n = 22) presented lower 25(OH) vitamin D levels at follow-up than those not affected (n = 20) (12.7 vs 15.2 ng/mL, P = .041). In multiple regression analyses, lower 25(OH) vitamin D levels at follow-up were the only variable significantly associated with long COVID in our cohort (P = .008, OR 1.09, CI 1.01-1.16). Conclusion COVID-19 survivors with long COVID have lower 25(OH) vitamin D levels than matched patients without long COVID. Our data suggest that vitamin D levels should be evaluated in COVID-19 patients after hospital discharge. The role of vitamin D supplementation as a preventive strategy of COVID-19 sequelae should be tested in randomized controlled trials.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0021-972X</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1945-7197</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1210/clinem/dgad207</identifier><identifier>PMID: 37051747</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>US: Oxford University Press</publisher><subject>Bone turnover ; Calcium metabolism ; Clinical ; Clinical trials ; Cognition ; Comorbidity ; Complications ; COVID-19 ; COVID-19 - complications ; COVID-19 - epidemiology ; Dietary supplements ; Humans ; Long COVID ; Post-Acute COVID-19 Syndrome ; Retrospective Studies ; Survivors ; Vitamin D ; Vitamin D Deficiency - complications ; Vitamin D Deficiency - diagnosis ; Vitamin D Deficiency - epidemiology ; Vitamin deficiency ; Vitamins</subject><ispartof>The journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism, 2023-09, Vol.108 (10), p.e1106-e1116</ispartof><rights>The Author(s) 2023.
