Does male gender affect outcomes and resource consumption in postoperative ICU patients?
Male gender is associated with worse outcomes and higher resource use in postoperative ICU patients.
Male sex may link to worse postoperative ICU outcomes and higher resource use; leaves open causality and needs prospective validation before informing practice.
Male gender contributes to poor outcome in postoperative ICU patients. Approximately two-thirds of ICU resources are consumed by male patients.
