Abstract
Background and Objectives: In a Turkish cohort study, we revealed first time in literature the gender differences in admis- sion 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. Compar- ing 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.
