Male gender and kidney illness associated with an increased risk of severe laboratory-confirmed coronavirus disease 2020-07-01 .txt text/plain 2730 204 57 title: Male gender and kidney illness associated with an increased risk of severe laboratory-confirmed coronavirus disease Objective: To identify factors predicting severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in adolescent and adult patients with laboratory-positive (quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction) infection. The association between the studied factors and severe (dyspnea requiring hospital admission) COVID-19 was evaluated through risk ratios (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). In multiple analysis, male gender (RR = 1.13, 95% CI 1.06 1.20), advanced age ([reference: 15 29 years old] 30 44, RR = 1.02, 95% CI 0.94 1.11; 45 59, RR = 1.26, 95% CI 1.15 1.38; 60 years or older, RR = 1.44, 95% CI 1.29 1.60), chronic kidney disease (RR = 1.31, 95% CI 1.04 1.64) and thoracic pain (RR = 1.16, 95% CI 1.10 1.24) were associated with an increased risk of severe disease. ./cache/cord-287776-ylui7ls8.txt ./txt/cord-287776-ylui7ls8.txt
