ABSTRACT
Objectives: At present, the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is the most important infectious disease worldwide. Due to false positives and false negatives of PCR results in the diagnosis of coronavirus infection, Computed Tomography (CT) is especially important in the initial diagnosis and assessment of the intensity of COVID-19 infection. According to the stage and intensity of COVID-19 infection chest CT scan findings display different features. Although men, women, and different age groups may be equally affected, different epidemiological studies have shown differences in gender and age in intensity and mortality. Although there are many studies on radiological findings in COVID-19 infection, however limited literature reviews have been stated on the relationship between age and gender with radiological finding. Methods: This reviews summarized studies that evaluated the association age and gender with radiologic CT fndings. Results: In general, the findings of these studies show that different age and gender groups have different characteristics which can role in primary diagnosis, facilitate the classification of the initial prognosis in COVID-19 pneumonia. Conclusions: As an indicator for outcome, treatment, determining the intensity of the disease as well as the prognosis, nevertheless studies with higher sample sizes and multicenter are required.
