Abstract

Research has shown that alopecia including androgen alopecia (AGA), alopecia areata (AA), and telogen effluvium (TE) presents in the majority of patients hospitalized with COVID-19. This study aims to explore the association between age, gender alopecia type, and alopecia level in patients hospitalized with COVID-19, and find which factor has a significant effect on alopecia during COVID-19. In this study, we collected the gender, age, type of alopecia, and alopecia level of patients from four existing studies. A linear regression model and Chi-square test were applied to explore the effect of age and gender on alopecia levels in patients hospitalized with COVID-19. There were 281 patients counted in our study. We examined the data and found a significant correlation between age and androgen alopecia levels in male patients, and we found an association between gender and androgen alopecia prevalence. Our findings might help prevalent other patients with alopecia.
