In this retrospective study 300 patients diagnosed with COVID19 were included. According to clinical classification of cases with COVID19 the patients were divided into three groups; mild (Group1), moderate (Group2) and severe/critical (Group3). The 25OH vitamin D values below 20 ng/ml were defined as deficiency, 21-29 ng/ml were defined as insufficiency, and 30 ng/ml and above were defined as normal. Patients' age, gender, comorbid diseases and laboratory values were recorded
Vitamin D deficiency increases the susceptibility to respiratory virus infections and the severity of infections. Inflammation plays a key role in pathogenesis in COVID19 while identifying clinical course and prognosis COVID19.The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between 25OH vitamin D levels, inflammatory laboratory parameters of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and disease severity of COVID19 infection.
