Comparative recovery rates from SARS-CoV-2 infection among Israeli male and female COVID-19 patients by age groups. (a) Statistics analysis by age decades (two-way ANOVA test) indicated statistically significant effects of age (****p<0.0001, F (5, 5757) = 5.406) and sex (*p = 0.037, F (1, 5757) = 4.353). (b) Statistics analysis comparing patients aged 0–20 years and >30 years indicated a significant effects of age (****p<0.0001, F (1, 5765) = 19.65). Sidak's multiple comparisons test showed a significantly slower recovery rate in male patients over 30-year-old (****p<0.001) and in female patients (*p = 0.038), compared to patients aged 0–29 years. Values signify average recovery rate (days) ± SEM.
