a25-Hydroxy Vitamin D, log-transformed as a continuous variable, was independently associated with decreased risk of hospitalization.

bRelative risk reflects 5 years increase in age.

cRelative risk reflects 5% increase in proportion of residents in patient ZIP code living below federal poverty line.
