An experienced dermatologist examined the correlation of clinical signs of COVID\u201019 severity with AGA types. For evaluation of the association between categorical variables and comparison of the mean age in three groups of COVID\u201019 patients, the Fisher's exact test and the analysis of variance were used.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our cross\u2010sectional study included 116 male patients (70.7%) with a median age of 65.5 (age range: 22\u201397) years.

The Hamilton\u2013Norwood Scale (HNS) was as follows: HNS I 14.7%, HNS II 12.1%, HNS III 20.7%, HNS IV 19.8%, HNS IV 29.8%, HNS V 17.2%, HNS VI 13.8%, and HNS VII 1.7%. Also, 29.3% of the patients were female, possessing a median age of 72 (age range: 23\u201398) years. In this group, 8.3% required intubation, 6.3% required ICU care, and 85.4% needed inpatient ward admission care.
