- Male participants testing positive have a higher odds ratio for mortality than their female counterparts. Males testing positive were older and had a greater comorbidity, although there was no difference in BMI or history of stroke between sexes. Age and BMI were treated as continuous variables and compared between sexes using T test. All other variables were treated as categorical and compared using Fisher’s exact test
