Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus has affected the lives of millions of individuals globally and also severely strained the medical community. Pre-symptomatic and asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 positive individuals far outnumber the symptomatic ones or those with severe disease. The transmission potential of SARS CoV-2 is potentially greater than earlier viral outbreaks of SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV.Routine measures of social distancing, personal hand hygiene and limited outdoor contact activities have shown benefits to limit corona virus infection. However, the role of vitamin D in SARS-CoV-2 infection is sparingly explored despite the knowledge of an immunomodulatory role and protective effect of vitamin D against viral infections. Meta-analysis of five clinical trials of vitamin D supplementation found that those receiving vitamin D supplementation had fewer respiratory tract infections (odds ratio = 0.58 (95%CI, 0.42 - 0.81).Any immune-modulatory effect of vitamin D is likely to be observed at levels which are considered higher than that required for normal bone metabolism.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) [7 days]

      Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score at day 7. SOFA score range from 1 to a maximum of 24. A greator score suggests worse outcome.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) Score [3 days]

      Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score at day 3. SOFA score range from 1 to a maximum of 24. A greator score suggests worse outcome.

    2. Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score [14 days]

      Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score at day 14. SOFA score range from 1 to a maximum of 24 score. A greator score suggests worse outcome.
