Impact of Vitamin D Level and Supplement on SLE Patients During COVID-19 Pandemic

Aim of the work Impact of serum vit D level in SLE patients with COVID-19 disease on severity of infection, duration of COVID-19 disease course, fatigue development as a complication for both SLE and COVID-19 and assess impact of prior chloroquine on COVID-19 disease outcomes Patients and methods 38 SLE patients previously diagnosed and on different lines of lupus management. Participants were presented to chest outpatient clinic and emergency hospital, Mansoura University with manifestation suggesting COVID-19 infection. Serum vit D was measured in serum by ELISA.

About this study

Primary objective: assess the impact of serum vit D level in SLE patients with COVID-19 disease on severity of infection and pandemic treatment outcome.

  • Impact of prior chloroquine on COVID-19 disease outcomes
  • Correlation of serum vit D level with different laboratory investigations at time of COVID-19 outbreak

Treatment and study plan

Vitamin D

Drug

Impact of serum vit D level in SLE patients with COVID-19 disease on severity of infection, duration of COVID-19 disease course, fatigue development as a complication for both SLE and COVID-19 and assess impact of prior chloroquine on COVID-19 disease outcomes

Other names: Serum Vitamin D level

ELISA

Diagnostic Test

Measure vitamin D level

Primary outcomes

  1. Level of serum vitamin D in SLE infected with COVID-19

    Time frame: 6 months

    Measurement of serum vit D level (ng/ml)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Vitamin D level with COVID-19 severity

    Time frame: 6 months

    Level of serum vitamin D (ng/ml) in mild, moderate and sever COVID-19

Other outcomes

  1. Impact of serum vit D level in SLE patients on duration of COVID-19 disease course

    Time frame: 6 months

    serum vit D level (ng/ml) in SLE patients and time to recovery (number of days) from COVID-19

  2. Impact of prior chloroquine on COVID-19 disease outcomes

    Time frame: 6 months

    Can prior chloroquine in SLE patients affect outcome of COVID-19 infection (recovery or die)

  3. Serum vitamin D level and development of fatigue

    Time frame: 6 months

    Basal vitamin d level (ng/ml) in SLE patients diagnosed with recent COVID-19 and development of fatigue after recovery from COVID-19 infection

  4. Correlation of serum vit D level with different laboratory investigations at time of COVID-19 outbreak

    Time frame: 6 months

    Correlation of serum vit D level (ng/ml) with ESR, CRP, serum Lymphocyte count, Ferritine, D-dimer at time of COVID-19 diagnosis
