ABSTRACT

PURPOSE:

Older critically ill patients with COVID-19 have been the most vulnerable during the ongoing pandemic, with men being more prone to hospitalization and severe disease than women. We aimed to explore sex-specific differences in treatment and outcome after intensive care unit (ICU) admission in this cohort.

METHODS:

We performed a sex-specific analysis in critically ill patients ≥ 70 yr of age with COVID-19 who were included in the international prospective multicenter COVIP study. All patients were analyzed for ICU admission and treatment characteristics. We performed a multilevel adjusted regression analysis to elucidate associations of sex with 30-day mortality.

RESULTS:

A total of 3,159 patients (69.8% male, 30.2% female; median age, 75 yr) were included. Male patients were significantly fitter than female patients as determined by the Clinical Frailty Scale (fit, 67% vs 54%; vulnerable, 14% vs 19%; frail, 19% vs 27%; P < 0.001). Male patients more often underwent tracheostomy (20% vs 14%; odds ratio [OR], 1.57; P < 0.001), vasopressor therapy (69% vs 62%; OR, 1.25; P = 0.02), and renal replacement therapy (17% vs 11%; OR, 1.96; P < 0.001). There was no difference in mechanical ventilation, life-sustaining treatment limitations, and crude 30-day mortality (50% male vs 49% female; OR, 1.11; P = 0.19), which remained true after adjustment for disease severity, frailty, age and treatment limitations (OR, 1.17; 95% confidence interval, 0.94 to 1.45; P = 0.16).

CONCLUSION:

In this analysis of sex-specific treatment characteristics and 30-day mortality outcomes of critically ill patients with COVID-19 ≥ 70 yr of age, we found more tracheostomy and renal replacement therapy in male vs female patients, but no significant association of patient sex with 30-day mortality.

RéSUMé OBJECTIF Les patients âgés gravement malades atteints de la COVID-19 ont été les plus vulnérables pendant la pandémie actuelle, les hommes étant plus sujets à l'hospitalisation et aux maladies graves que les femmes. Nous avons cherché à explorer les différences spécifiques au sexe dans le traitement et les devenirs après l'admission à l'unité de soins intensifs (USI) dans cette cohorte. MéTHODE Nous avons effectué une analyse spécifique au sexe chez des patients gravement malades âgés de ≥ 70 ans atteints de COVID-19 qui ont été inclus dans l'étude prospective multicentrique internationale COVIP. Tous les patients ont été analysés pour connaître les détails de leur admission à l'USI et les caractéristiques de leur traitement. Nous avons réalisé une analyse de régression ajustée à plusieurs niveaux pour élucider les associations entre le sexe et la mortalité à 30 jours. RéSULTATS Au total, 3159 patients (69,8 % d'hommes, 30,2 % de femmes; âge médian, 75 ans) ont été inclus. Les patients de sexe masculin étaient significativement plus en forme que les patientes, tel que déterminé par l'échelle de fragilité clinique (bonne santé, 67 % vs 54 %; vulnérables, 14 % vs 19 %; fragiles, 19 % vs 27 %; P < 0,001). Les patients de sexe masculin ont plus souvent bénéficié d'une trachéostomie (20 % vs 14 %; rapport de cotes [RC], 1,57; P < 0,001), d'un traitement vasopresseur (69 % vs 62 %; RC, 1,25; P = 0,02) et d'un traitement substitutif de l'insuffisance rénale (17 % vs 11 %; RC, 1,96; P < 0,001). Il n'y avait aucune différence en matière de ventilation mécanique, de limites des traitements de maintien en vie et de mortalité brute à 30 jours (50 % d'hommes vs 49 % de femmes; RC, 1,11; P = 0,19), ce qui est demeuré le cas après ajustement pour tenir compte de la gravité de la maladie, de la fragilité, de l'âge et des limites du traitement (RC, 1,17 ; intervalle de confiance à 95 %, 0,94 à 1,45; P = 0,16).

CONCLUSION:

Dans cette analyse des caractéristiques de traitement spécifiques au sexe et des résultats de mortalité à 30 jours des patients gravement malades atteints de COVID-19 de ≥ 70 ans, nous avons noté un nombre plus élevé de trachéotomies et de traitements substitutifs de l'insuffisance rénale chez les hommes vs les femmes, mais aucune association significative entre le sexe des patients et la mortalité à 30 jours.
