The prevalence of symptoms and its correlation with sex in polish COVID-19 adult patients: Cross-sectional online open survey.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The understanding and treatment of COVID-19 has improved rapidly since December 2019 when SARS-CoV-2 was sequenced. However most papers on its symptomatology focus on hospitalized patients and address only a limited number of major presentations. Although differences depending on sex of COVID-19 patients have been previously confirmed (higher ICU admission and higher death rate for men), no publication has focused on sex-related differences in COVID-19 symptomatology.

Objective

The aim of the study was to present a reliable list of COVID-19 symptoms and identify any differences in symptom prevalence depending on sex.

Methods

A sample of Polish patients suffering from COVID-19 were surveyed using a cross-sectional anonymous online survey in Polish available
