Summary: The objective of this study was to analyze the effect of vitamin D supplementation on the prognosis of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). A retrospective observational cohort study was conducted on 9,739 DTC patients and propensity score matching was performed. Results showed that vitamin D intake was positively associated with all-cause and total cancer mortality in DTC. Further research is needed to clarify the effect of vitamin D supplementation on DTC.

Summary: This study conducted in Libya aimed to determine the mortality and morbidity of critically ill COVID-19 patients in intensive care units (ICU) 60 days post-ICU admission. The study found a high mortality rate of 60.4% among these patients, with several predictive factors identified for mortality.

Summary: This study suggests a nonlinear inverse association between serum 25(OH)D concentrations and all-cause mortality among patients with MAFLD/NAFLD, with a threshold effect at approximately 50.0 nmol/L of serum 25(OH)D.

Summary: Combined low vitamin D and K status are associated with increased all-cause mortality risk and possibly with cardiovascular mortality and cardiovascular events compared with adequate vitamin D and K status.

Summary: This study investigated the association between handgrip strength (HGS) and all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in US adults. The results showed that individuals with low HGS had a higher risk of both all-cause and CVD mortality. Low HGS served as an independent risk factor for both outcomes.

Summary: Vitamin D is important for bone metabolism and plays a role in regulating calcium and phosphate levels in the body. It has been found to have an impact on cardiovascular disease, with evidence of vitamin D receptors in the cardiovascular system. This study examined the relationship between vitamin D levels and hospitalization for heart failure, overall mortality, and cardiovascular mortality.

Summary: Congestive heart failure (CHF) is an independent risk factor for 1-year mortality after surgery, with patients experiencing a 24-54% increased risk of all-cause mortality. This study provides important information for clinical decision-making and improving patient consultations and communication.

Summary: Current data highlight the importance of vitamin D in boosting the anti-inflammatory response, especially in patients with multiple sclerosis. While vitamin D deficiency is a known risk factor for developing multiple sclerosis, the benefits of vitamin D supplementation in this disease remain inconclusive. However, maintaining optimal or higher levels of vitamin D throughout the observation period was associated with a lower number of new lesions in patients with multiple sclerosis, suggesting the potential implementation and improvement of vitamin D in these patients.

Summary: This study investigated the combined impact of vitamin D concentration and cognitive impairment on all-cause mortality in older adults. The findings showed that lower vitamin D concentration and cognitive impairment were individually associated with increased mortality risks, and when combined, they had an additive effect on mortality risk.

Summary: This study examined the relationship between pre-operative vitamin D status and the risk of postoperative atrial fibrillation in coronary artery bypass graft surgery patients. The results indicated that higher 25(OH)D concentration may not have a beneficial effect on postoperative atrial fibrillation and could even be harmful.

Summary: Cigarette smoking is associated with an increased risk of postoperative wound complications, including disruption of wound healing and surgical site infection. This study found that smokers have a significantly higher risk of postoperative wound disruption, surgical site infection, reintubation, and in-hospital mortality compared with nonsmokers. Clinicians should encourage patients to quit smoking before surgery.

Summary: COVID-19 and low vitamin D state have common risk factors, and vitamin D deficiency is associated with higher COVID-19 mortality possibly due to these shared risk factors. In this study, it was found that the increased mortality in unvaccinated adults with low vitamin D status was not explained by confounding factors or elevated CRP levels.
