Abstract

Background and objectives: With this study, for the first time among patients diagnosed with COVID-19, the neutrophil-lymphocyte-ratios of men and women were compared.

Materials and methods: The study was conducted with 80 patients and the data was gained retrospectively on the electronic documents of the hospital.

Results: The neutrophil-lymphocyte-ratio was statistically significant and higher in the male than the women for all ages and geriatric patients (p<0.05).

Conclusion: The higher neutrophil-lymphocyte-ratio in older males diagnosed with COVID-19 could be a causative reason for the higher mortality rates in men. We hope that these findings would be helpful for further studies.

Keywords: COVID-19; Lymphocytes; Neutrophils.
