Randomly assigned
Calcifediol treatment group n = 551

Days, 3, 7, 15, 30, 266 ug (10,640 iu)
No adverse effects reported
Required ICU, 30 (5.4%)
Deaths, 36 (6.5%)
Death RR = 0.36
64% reduced chance of death
Control group n = 379
Required ICU, 80 (21.1%), p less than 0.0001

Interpretation
In patients hospitalized with COVID-19, calcifediol treatment at the time of hospitalization significantly reduced ICU admission and mortality.
Early calcifediol after admission
Prior to ARDS development, is critical for mortality reduction
Initiation of calcifediol during ICU admission did not modify patient survival
