A study compared the severity and mortality of male and female patients with COVID-19 and SARS. The research analyzed data from 43 hospitalized patients with COVID-19, 37 deceased patients and 1,019 survivors, and 524 SARS patients. The results showed that men had a higher mortality rate than women in both COVID-19 and SARS. In the COVID-19 data, 70.3% of deceased patients were men, compared to 29.7% women. In SARS patients, 53.2% of deceased patients were men, compared to 42.3% women. The study found that men were more likely to have severe cases of both diseases, regardless of age. The researchers concluded that men with COVID-19 are more at risk for worse outcomes and death, independent of age. The study is the first to investigate the role of gender in morbidity and mortality in patients with COVID-19. The findings suggest that gender is a risk factor for higher severity and mortality in patients with COVID-19, independent of age and susceptibility. The study has some limitations, including the small sample size and lack of access to unique data. However, it is the first preliminary analysis investigating the role of gender in morbidity and mortality in patients with SARS-CoV-2. More research is needed to confirm these findings.A study compared the severity and mortality of male and female patients with COVID-19 and SARS.
