  • Out of 471 COVID-19 patients, 49% were admitted through the emergency department, facing common upper respiratory symptoms.
  • The study employed a cross-sectional design, capturing data on clinical characteristics and vitamin D levels of patients.
  • Findings highlight the need for larger multicenter studies to explore vitamin D's role in COVID-19 symptom progression.
