COVID-19 Enfeksiyonu ve D Vitamini Düzeyleri Arasındaki İlişki

Amaç: D vitamininin bilinen birçok faydası vardır. Bunlardan biri de immunmodülatör olmasıdır. Ayrıca üst solunum yolu enfeksiyonlarına karşı koruyucudur. Asemptomatik enfeksiyondan çoklu organ yetmezliğine ve ölüme neden olabilen Covid 19 hastalarında D vitamini düzeylerinin incelenmesi amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Aile hekimliği sistemimize kayıtlı Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR, PCR) testi pozitif olan 580 hasta ulusal sağlık veri sisteminden taranmış ve D vitamini düzeyi yakın zamanda kontrol edilen 91 hasta araştırma grubuna dahil edilmiştir. Ayrıca aynı özelliklere sahip PCR testi negatif olan 91 kişi kontrol grubu olarak alındı. D vitamini seviyeleri ulusal sağlık veri sisteminden alınmıştır. Bulgular: Covid 19 hasta grubunun yaş ortalaması 53 yıl, kontrol grubu 55 yıl iken, katılımcıların %39.60'ının erkek, %60,40'ının kadın olduğu gözlendi. Pozitif hastaların D vitamini düzeyleri, %69.20 (<20 ng/mL) eksikliği, %23.10 (20-30 ng/ml) yetersizliği, %7.70 (30-149 ng/mL) optimal ve ortalama D vitamini olarak bulundu. 17.61 ng / ml'dir. Kontrol grubunun D vitamini düzeyleri %58.20 eksiklik, %24,2 yetersizlik, %17.60 (30-149) optimal ve ortalama 20.75 ng/ml olarak bulundu. Sonuç: Covid 19 hastalarında D vitamini eksikliği daha fazla görülmektedir ve genel olarak Covid 19 hastalarında D vitamini ortalaması da daha düşüktür. Covid 19 ile mücadelemizde D vitamini takviyesi önemlidir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Covid-19, D vitamini, bağışıklık, düzeyi

The Relationship Between COVID-19 Infection and Vitamin D Levels

Aim: Vitamin D has many known benefits. One of them is that it is immunomodulator. It is also protective against upper respiratory tract infections. It was aimed to examine vitamin D levels in Covid 19 patients, who can cause multi-organ failure and death from asymptomatic infection. Materials and Methods: 580 patients with positive Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR, PCR) test registered in our family medicine system were scanned from the national health data system and 91 patients whose vitamin D levels were checked recently were included in the research group. In addition, 91 people with negative PCR tests with the same characteristics were taken as the control group. Their vitamin D levels were taken from the national health data system. Results: The average age of the Covid 19 patient group was 53, while the control group was 55 years, it was observed 39.60% of the participants were male and 60.40% were female. Vitamin D levels of positive patients, 69.20% (<20 ng / mL) deficiency, 23.10% (20-30 ng / mL) insufficiency, 7.70% (30-149 ng/mL) was found to be optimal and the average vitamin D is 17.61 ng / ml. The vitamin D levels of the control group were found to be 58.20% deficiency, 24.20% insufficiency, 17.60% (30-149) optimal, and the average was 20.75 ng / ml. Conclusion: Vitamin D deficiency is more common in Covid 19 patients, and the average of vitamin D is generally lower in Covid 19 patients. Vitamin D supplementation is important in our fight against Covid 19. Keywords: Covid-19, vitamin D, immunity, level
