There are limited proven therapeutic options for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19. We underwent an observational study with the aim of measure plasma vitamin C levels in a population of critically ill COVID-19 adult patients who met ARDS criteria according to the Berlin definition. This epidemiological study brings to light that up to 82% had low Vitamin C values. Notwithstanding the limitation that this is a single-center study, it nevertheless shows an important issue. Given the potential role of vitamin C in sepsis and ARDS, there is gathering interest of whether supplementation could be beneficial in COVID-19.
预防和治疗 COVID-19 的方法有限。我们进行了一项观察性研究,目的是测量符合柏林定义的 ARDS 标准的危重症 COVID-19 成年患者人群中的血浆维生素 C 水平。这项流行病学研究表明,高达 82%的患者维生素 C 值较低。尽管这是一项单中心研究存在局限性,但它确实揭示了一个重要问题。鉴于维生素 C 在败血症和 ARDS 中的潜在作用,人们越来越关注补充维生素 C 是否对 COVID-19 有益。
