Does gender influence outcomes in critically ill patients?

Crit Care. 2012 Jun 13;16(3):129

Authors: Angele MK, Pratschke S, Chaudry IH

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Investigators continue to debate whether gender plays any role in patient outcome following injury/critical illness. We submit that age and hormonal milieu at the time of injury, rather than gender, are the critical factors influencing patient outcome under those conditions.
