Article Synopsis
- - The study explored how serum magnesium and Vitamin D levels relate to the severity and mortality rates of COVID-19 in hospitalized patients.
- - A total of 54 patients participated, with findings indicating that Vitamin D deficiency significantly increases the likelihood of hospitalization due to COVID-19, while hypomagnesemia did not show a direct link to mortality.
- - Ultimately, the research concluded that issues with Vitamin D levels are associated with more severe cases of COVID-19, but low magnesium levels do not appear to affect survival rates.
