Abstract
Background: Sex-dependent and advanced-age-related susceptibilities have been described as risk factors of SARS-CoV-2 infection in epidemiological studies carried out worldwide. Therefore, sex could be a determining factor in the development and outcome of the SARS-COV-2 infection, and its study may be useful for the development of therapeutic strategies aimed at improving the prognosis of the disease. Aims: To study whether there are differences based on gender in the prognosis of SARS-COV-2 infection in hospitalized patients. Methods: Retrospective observational cohort study carried out in a Spanish hospital. The statistical analysis determined the differences in characteristics and clinical evolution of the infection segregated by gender.
