Meta-analysis of vitamin C studies found no significant difference in C-reactive protein concentrations (−0.50; 95% CI: −3.63, 2.63; I 2 = 0%), intensive care unit stay duration (pooled mean difference: 1.44; 95% CI: 0.07, 2.81; I 2 = 0%), or mortality (pooled odds ratio: 0.55; 95% CI: 0.28, 1.09; I 2 = 0%), with a slight trend favoring reduced hospitalization duration (pooled mean difference: −2.37; 95% CI: −2.99, −1.76; I 2 = 49%).
