We here aimed to investigate the impact of gender on the clinical characteristics and laboratory results of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and provide clues to the pathological mechanisms underlying COVID-19.A retrospective study was performed.Clinical characteristics,severity of lung infection,laboratory results,and prognoses of patients of different gender were analyzed.A total of 242 patients were finally included.The median age was 58 years (IQR: 40-68),including 54 (22.3％) hospital staffs.Ninety-four (38.8％) were male and 148 (61.1％) were female.The proportion of patients with diabetes was significantly higher in the male group than in the female group (P=0.034).Male patients had a significantly larger proportion of severe lung infection,higher leukocyte count,neutrophil count,neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio,C-reactive protein,and procalcitonin than female.Furthermore,male patients had worse liver,cardiac,and coagulation function than their female counterparts.Male patients with COVID-19 showed more severe inflammation reaction and coagulation dysfunction than female patients.In conclusion,gender is associated with host response to SARS-CoV-2 infection.
