The gender differences as a risk factor in diabetic patients with COVID-19
1Department of Internal Medicine, University of Health Sciences, Izmir Bozyaka Training and Research Hospital, Izmir, Turkey.
Background And Objectives:
In a Turkish cohort study, we revealed first time in literature the gender differences in admission to hospital and rates of mortality for diabetic patients with COVID-19.
Materials And Methods:
The demographics, length of stay, mortality rates and concomitant chronic metabolic diseases of 152 patients diagnosed with COVID-19 were found in our hospital electronic document system (Probel) and recorded in excel files for further statistical analysis.
Results:
In the mortality group (n:22), the numbers of men and women were 9 (40.9%) and 4 (18.2%), respectively. Comparing gender rates in diabetic group, the mortality risk of diabetic men was higher and statistically significant (p<0.05, Pearson Chi-square value:7.246).
Conclusion:
We hope that the findings of this research will give scientists an idea of gender differences in viral pandemics for further studies.
