H. Peckham, N. M. D. Gruijter, et al.
This groundbreaking meta-analysis reveals a concerning global trend in COVID-19 outcomes – while infection rates are similar between sexes, males are nearly three times more likely to require intensive treatment and face greater odds of death compared to females. Insights from this research conducted by Hannah Peckham, Nina M de Gruijter, Charles Raine, Anna Radziszewska, Coziana Ciurtin, Lucy R Wedderburn, Elizabeth C Rosser, Kate Webb, and Claire T Deakin could significantly impact clinical practices and health strategies worldwide.
