Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has posed a major global health challenge,  especially for individuals with underlying health issues. This study  aimed to assess the clinical outcomes of vitamin D supplementation in  patients with moderate to severe COVID-19 in a tertiary care hospital  through a randomized clinical trial. Sixty-two SARS-CoV-2 positive  patients were enrolled and divided into intervention (vitamin D  supplementation) and control groups.
