Vitamin D (VITD) is a key hormone for bone health and has relevant extra-skeletal effects that might play a role in the prevention and treatment of COronaVIrus Disease 19 (COVID-19). Literature regarding this scenario is voluminous but controversial. Glucocorticoid Induced Osteoporosis Skeletal Endocrinology Group (G.I.O.S.E.G) has been present in the scientific debate about the use of VITD and has regularly interfaced national regulatory agencies to ensure appropriateness of its employment. Given the current pandemic and the questions on COVID-19 and VITD, G.I.O.S.E.G. appointed an expert panel to advise how to consider this issue best. The results of these deliberations are reported in the current recommendation paper.
维生素 D（VITD）是骨骼健康的关键激素，具有相关的骨骼外效应，可能在预防和治疗 COronaVIrus 病 19（COVID-19）方面发挥作用。关于这种情况的文献很多，但存在争议。糖皮质激素诱导的骨质疏松骨骼内分泌学组（G.I.O.S.E.G）一直参与关于 VITD 使用的科学辩论，并定期与国家监管机构进行沟通，以确保其使用的适当性。鉴于当前的大流行以及关于 COVID-19 和 VITD 的问题，G.I.O.S.E.G. 任命了一个专家小组，就如何最好地考虑这个问题提供建议。这些审议的结果在当前的推荐文件中报告。
