Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

First epidemiological data about COVID-19 pandemic confirm that older adults are likely to experience severe and lethal forms of SARS-CoV-2 infection, in particular frail elderly living in nursing-homes. Vitamin D could be a biological determinant of COVID-19, as indicated by genomic-guided tracing of SARS-CoV-2 targets in human cells. Epidemiological observational data are necessary for better understanding the links between vitamin D supplementation and COVID-19 outcomes, in particular in nursing-homes (in which the risk of hypovitaminosis D is very high).

The investigators had the opportunity to use information collected in a French middle-sized nursing-home affected by COVID-19 in March-April 2020, to determine whether recent vitamin D3 supplementation was associated with the prognosis of COVID-19 in residents infected with SARS-CoV-2. As recommended in French nursing-homes, all residents are systematically and regularly supplemented with bolus vitamin D3 (every single, 2 or 3 months, depending on residents).

The main objective of this study is to determine whether bolus vitamin D3 supplementation taken during or in the month before COVID-19 was effective in improving survival among frail elderly nursing-home residents infected with COVID-19 compared to those having received supplementation longer ago.

The secondary objective is to determine whether bolus vitamin D3 supplementation taken during or in the month before COVID-19 was effective in limiting the clinical severity of the infection according to the World Health Organization's Ordinal Scale for Clinical Improvement (OSCI) for COVID-19 compared to those having received supplementation longer ago.

Detailed Description

Retrospective observational unicentric study in nursing-home residents with COVID-19. Health status monitoring data available until May 15, 2020. For all participants, gender, age, disability, history and comorbidities, treatments, date of last vitamin D3 supplementation, results of last blood test, date of suspicion / diagnosis of COVID-19, COVID-19 OSCI score, and eventual hospitalization or death (surveillance data available until May 15, 2020) are collected.
