Resumo

Introdução: A literatura existente apresenta perspectivas variadas sobre o impacto da COVID-19 em receptores de transplante de fígado. No entanto, nenhuma pesquisa investigou especificamente o papel das diferenças de gênero na manifestação da COVID-19 entre os receptores de transplante de fígado. Este estudo pretende examinar os efeitos da COVID-19 em receptores de transplante de fígado, com foco nas diferenças de gênero na apresentação e progressão da doença. Métodos: Conduzida como um estudo de coorte histórico multicêntrico, esta pesquisa coletou registros de pacientes por meio de um questionário on-line. O principal objetivo foi avaliar a mortalidade relacionada à COVID. Além disso, foram coletados dados demográficos, clínicos e laboratoriais relativos à apresentação e progressão da doença. Resultados: O estudo incluiu um total de 283 pacientes, sendo 76 do sexo feminino e 206 do sexo masculino. O período médio de acompanhamento para os homens foi de 99 dias (IQR 38-283), enquanto para as mulheres foi de 126 dias (IQR 44-291). Foi observada uma maior prevalência de doença cardiovascular nos homens (p=0,002). As mulheres frequentemente apresentavam perda de olfato (p=0,021), enquanto os homens geralmente apresentavam febre (p=0,031). Os níveis de ALT e gama-glutamil transferase foram significativamente elevados nos homens (p=0,008 e 0,004, respectivamente). Embora tenha havido uma tendência de aumento da mortalidade nos homens, ela não alcançou significância estatística. Conclusão: Este estudo é a primeira tentativa de investigar as diferenças de gênero na COVID-19 entre os receptores de transplante de fígado. Nossos achados destacam a necessidade de uma abordagem abrangente e personalizada para tratar essa população de pacientes e ressaltam a importância de elucidar melhor a apresentação da doença nesses indivíduos.
