Brief Summary: The goal of this randomized placebo-controlled study is to investigate the short-term effects of transdermal estrogen therapy on postmenopausal women with COVID-19 disease

The main questions it aims to answer are

the clinical outcomes with adding estrogen treatment to conventional therapy of Covid-19 disease
the biochemical outcomes with adding estrogen treatment to conventional therapy of Covid-19 disease

All participants received favipiravir for a week according to the national guidelines published by the Health Ministry of Turkish Republic at that time

As an intervention transdermal estradiol patch 78 mg patchweek was applied for 14 days on the upper buttock of the patients in experimental arm As a placebo hydrogel patch adhesive hydrogel patchweek was applied to the female patients for 14 days

Researchers compared experimental and control groups to see if the impact of adding estrogen on the clinical course of Covid-19 disease
Detailed Description: The risk of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 SARS-CoV-2 infection morbidity and mortality from Covid-19 disease were higher among men compared to women This is caused by the differences in immunological response and viral pathogenesis between men and women It is theoretically assumed that estrogen has a positive impact on female COVID-19 patients In this randomized placebo-controlled study we aimed to investigate the short-term effects of transdermal estrogen therapy on postmenopausal women with COVID-19 disease Female patients diagnosed with Covid-19 disease were examined and only postmenopausal women were included into the study The COVID-19 diagnosis was made with a positive reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction RT-PCR test given with nasal and oral swabs All participants received favipiravir for a week according to the national guidelines published by the Health Ministry of Turkish Republic at that time

As an intervention transdermal estradiol patch 78 mg patchweek was applied for 14 days on the upper buttock of the patients in experimental arm As a placebo hydrogel patch adhesive hydrogel patchweek was applied to the female patients for 14 days

Our primary outcome was to achieve better clinical and biochemical outcomes with adding estrogen treatment to conventional therapy of Covid-19 disease The epidemiological and clinical data the results of biochemical analysis the information regarding the treatment and outcomes and serum estradiol levels were determined
