Why the study?
Studies on sex differences in COVID-19 patients with cardiovascular disease and/or risk factors were limited.
Does male sex worsen clinical outcomes in hospitalized COVID-19 patients with cardiovascular disease and/or risk factors?
Does male sex worsen clinical outcomes in hospitalized COVID-19 patients with cardiovascular disease and/or risk factors?
Male sex linked to higher mortality in COVID-19 with CVDRF; leaves open whether sex-specific strategies improve outcomes.
Background: Male sex is associated with a worse clinical course and outcomes of COVID-19, particularly in older patients. However, studies on COVID-19 patients with cardiovascular disease and/or risk factors (CVDRF), which are representative risk factors of COVID-19, are limited. In this study, we investigated the effect of sex on the outcomes of hospitalized COVID-19 patients with CVDRF.
