Abstract Background Vitamin D is a critical factor in bone remodelling, calcium absorption and may promote anti-inflammatory cytokines in the gut. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with a reduction in serum Vitamin D levels and a chronic inflammatory state, both of which are strong risk factors for bone density loss affecting IBD patients. Despite European and North American IBD maintenance guidelines for Vitamin D monitoring and bone density scans, there are limited North American investigations into factors influencing serum Vitamin D levels in the IBD patient population specifically. Aims We investigated whether patient demographics, disease severity indexes and/or inflammatory markers were linked to low serum Vitamin D levels in our IBD patients. We also established the extent of Vitamin D serum deficiencies and supplementation rates in our IBD patients. Methods A retrospective chart review of a single clinician’s practice at London Health Science Centre, Victoria Hospital, over the past 20 months, was performed to: 1) assess the frequency of low serum 25-OH Vitamin D (25-OH D) in the IBD patient population and 2) determine whether patient disease severity was linked to lower 25-OH D levels. A multivariate regression analysis was performed assessing Crohn’s Disease (CD) or Ulcerative Colitis (UC) patient factors: age, sex, disease duration, seasonality, current pharmacologic treatments, past surgeries, CD Activity Index, UC Mayo score, C-reactive protein, and fecal calprotectin (Fcal) level. Results 175 IBD patients had at least one 25-OH D measurement with 71 patients actively on Vitamin D therapy. Of UC and CD patients who were not on Vitamin D therapy, 63% (17/27) and 79% (61/77) were 25-OH D deficient, respectively. 25-OH D levels in the CD population was associated with Vitamin D supplementation (regression coefficient [RC] 23.99, 95% confidence interval [CI] 14.54 to 33.45), summer season ([RC] 9.90, [CI] 0.56 to 19.24), and past bowel resection ([RC] -10.61, [CI] -20.48 to -0.76). 25-OH D levels in the UC population was associated with Vitamin D supplementation (regression coefficient [RC] 47.23, 95% confidence interval [CI] 27.62 to 66.83), and Mayo severity scores ([RC] -23.01, [CI] -41.82 to -4.20). Fcal (78 patients) was inversely associated with 25-OH D levels but the trend was not significant. Conclusions Overall, 25-OH D levels were lower in both the UC and CD patient populations relative to the already deficient Canadian population. However, IBD patients are responsive to Vitamin D supplementation. Tools with more objective evidence of disease severity such as UC Mayo score and fcal should be prioritized for identifying the IBD population requiring supplementation. Funding Agencies None

The global crisis caused by the SARS Corona virus-2 infection is continuing through 2021, with more than 3.5 million deaths. Several risk factors for this virus’s severity and death were documented, including diabetes, hypertension, and ischemic heart disease. To evaluate the relation between serum vitamin D3 level, the disease severity, and prognosis of the patients with SARS Corona virus-2 infection. Patients with COVID-19 were evaluated for serum vitamin D levels and laboratory data. Correlation between vitamin D levels and laboratory data with disease severity and prognosis was assessed. Cox and logistic regression tests, as well as ROC curves, were used for data analysis. Ninety-eight patients with Corona virus-2 disease (COVID-19), which consisted of sixty patients with moderate COVID-19 in the general wards, and thirty-eight patients with severe COVID-19 in the intensive care unit (ICU), were evaluated. The mean age in the general wards was lower than in ICU (60.96±14.86 compared to 67.94±16.46, P=0.001), and the mean serum vitamin D level in the patients admitted in the general wards was higher than in the ICU (31 ng/mL compared to 20.57 ng/mL, P=0.003). Furthermore, vitamin D deficiency (25 (OH) D <25 ng/ml) significantly increased the risk of severe disease. (odds ratio=2.91, P=0.019) and mortality (odds ratio=3.64, P=0.026). Vitamin D deficiency is a risk factor for disease severity and poor prognosis in COVID-19. Vitamin D levels of 25 ng/mL can be used as a cut-off value for predicting severity and prognosis.
