Resum:	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. 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. 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). 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.
