%X <B>UNASSIGNED: </B>Vitamin D deficiency (VDD, 25-hydroxyvitamin D < 20 ng/mL) has been reported associated with exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) but sometimes controversial. Research on severe vitamin D deficiency (SVDD, 25-hydroxyvitamin D < 10 ng/mL) in exacerbation of COPD is limited.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>We performed a retrospective observational study in 134 hospitalized exacerbated COPD patients. 25-hydroxyvitamin D was modeled as a continuous or dichotomized (cutoff value: 10 or 20 ng/mL) variable to evaluate the association of SVDD with hospitalization in the previous year. Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed to find the optimal cut-off value of 25-hydroxyvitamin D.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>In total 23% of the patients had SVDD. SVDD was more prevalent in women, and SVDD group tended to have lower blood eosinophils counts. 25-hydroxyvitamin D level was significantly lower in patients who were hospitalized in the previous year (13.6 vs 16.7 ng/mL, P = 0.044), and the prevalence of SVDD was higher (38.0% vs 14.3%, P = 0.002). SVDD was independently associated with hospitalization in the previous year [odds ratio (OR) 4.34, 95% CI 1.61-11.72, P = 0.004] in hospitalized exacerbated COPD patients, whereas continuous 25-hydroxyvitamin D and VDD were not (P = 0.1, P = 0.9, separately). The ROC curve yielded an area under the curve of 0.60 (95% CI 0.50-0.71) with an optimal 25-hydroxyvitamin D cutoff of 10.4 ng/mL.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>SVDD probably showed a more stable association with hospitalization in the previous year in hospitalized exacerbated COPD patients. Reasons for lower eosinophil counts in SVDD group needed further exploration.
