Abstract :Aim: This study aims to examine the association of COVID-19 disease-related need for intubation, hospitalization in the intensive care unit, and mortality rates with age and gender. Methods: After obtaining the necessary permissions, this retrospective descriptive study evaluated a total of 23,239 patients who had PCR tests in a hospital serving in XXX province and received inpatient or outpatient treatment. The SPSS 22.0 package program was used for descriptive and inferential analyses of the electronically collected data. Results: 50.8% of the cases were female, 49.2% were male, and the mean age was 44.05±16.47 years. A strong correlation was found between gender and receiving intensive care services, the need for intubation, and mortality rates. Intensive care, intubation, and mortality rates of men were significantly higher than women (p<0.01). Similar to gender, age also showed a strong correlation with prognostic indicators. The mean age of patients who needed intensive care (69.72 ±13.41) was considerably higher than of those who did not (43.03 ± 15.74). The mean age of the patients who died (72.67±12.36) was considerably higher than of the survivors (43.37±15.94) (p=0.000). Conclusion: This study shows that advanced age and male gender are risk factors strongly associated with various prognostic indicators of the COVID-19 disease.
