Abstract

This research study investigates the gender distribution, symptom manifestation, and age-related severity of COVID-19 among a dataset of 60 patients. The findings reveal a higher number of male patients being hospitalized compared to females, consistent with prior research highlighting males' higher risk of severe illness and hospitalization. Gender-specific variations in symptom manifestation are observed, with symptoms such as shortness of breath and fever being more prevalent among males. Age emerges as a significant factor, with older individuals, especially those above 60 years, experiencing higher severity of COVID-19. The study also highlights the severity of respiratory distress, as indicated by SpO2 levels, with a significant proportion of patients exhibiting critically low oxygen saturation. These findings contribute to our understanding of the clinical presentation of COVID-19 and underscore the importance of tailored healthcare interventions based on gender-specific symptom profiles and age-specific severity patterns.
