- Abstract
Female sex was identified in the study by El-Boghdadly et al. as an independent factor for proven or suspected COVID-19 infection of healthcare workers following intubation [1]. In sex disaggregated data of over 1.3 million cases reported world-wide, there are no marked gender differences in rates of COVID-19 infection in the general population in 18 countries, with an overall rate of 51.2% female [2].
