Association of sex with clinical outcomes in COVID-19 patients: A retrospective analysis of 1190 cases.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The outbreak of COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 has been a pandemic. The objective of our study was to explore the association between sex and clinical outcomes in patients with COVID-19.

Methods

Detailed clinical data including clinical characteristics, laboratory tests, imaging features and treatments of 1190 cases of adult patients with confirmed COVID-19 were retrospectively analyzed. Associations between sex and clinical outcomes were identified by multivariable Cox regression analysis.

Results

There were 635 (53.4%) male and 555 (46.6%) female patients in this study. Higher rates of acute kidney injury (5.5% vs. 2.9%, p = 0.026), acute cardiac injury (9.1% vs. 4.3%, p = 0.001), and disseminated intravascular coagulation (2.5% vs. 0.7%, P = 0.024) were observed in males. Compared with female patients, male patients with COVID-19 had a higher inhospital mortality rate (15.7% vs. 10.3%, p = 0.005). However, Cox regression analysis showed that sex did not influence inhospital mortality of COVID-19 patients.

Conclusions

Male sex was associated with a worse prognosis of COVID-19, but it seems not to be an independent prognostic factor.

Project description:Background & aimsThe intensity and duration of the catabolic phase in COVID-19 patients can differ between survivors and non-survivors. The purpose of the study was to assess the determinants of, and association between, nitrogen balance trajectories and outcome in critically ill COVID-19 patients.MethodsThis retrospective monocentric observational study involved patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of the University Hospital of Clermont Ferrand, France, from January 2020 to May 2021 for COVID-19 pneumonia. Patients were excluded if referred from another ICU, if their ICU length of stay was <72 h, or if they were treated with renal replacement therapy during the first seven days after ICU admission. Data were collected prospectively at admission and during ICU stay. Death was recorded at the end of ICU stay. Comparisons of the time course of nitrogen balance according to outcome were analyzed using two-way ANOVA. At days 3, 5, 7, 10 and 14, uni- and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the impact of a non-negative nitrogen-balance on ICU death. To investigate the relationships between nitrogen balance, inflammatory markers and protein intake, linear and non-nonlinear models were run at days 3, 5 and 7, and the amount of protein intake necessary to reach a neutral nitrogen balance was calculated. Subgroup analyses were carried out according to BMI, age, and sex.Results99 patients were included. At day 3, a similar negative nitrogen balance was observed in survivors and non-survivors: -16.4 g/d [-26.5, -3.3] and -17.3 g/d [-22.2, -3.8] (p = 0.54). The trajectories of nitrogen balance over time thus differed between survivors and non-survivors (p = 0.01). In survivors, nitrogen balance increased over time, but decreased from day 2 to day 6 in non-survivors, and thereafter increased slowly up to day 14. At days 5 and 7, a non-negative nitrogen-balance was protective from death. Administering higher protein amounts was associated with higher nitrogen balance.ConclusionWe report a prolonged catabolic state in COVID patients that seemed more pronounced in non-survivors than in survivors. Our study underlines the need for monitoring urinary nitrogen excretion to guide the amount of protein intake required by COVID-19 patients.
