Retrospective case-control study in Italy with 943 male COVID-19 patients, 45 on chronic 5ARI treatment (finasteride/dutasteride). There was significantly fewer COVID-19 patients >55 on 5ARI treatment compared to age-matched controls (5.57 vs. 8.14%, p=0.0083). The difference was greater for men aged >65 (7.14 vs. 12.31%, p=0.0001). There was no significant difference for ICU admission or death.

May treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia with 5-alpha reductase inhibitors (5ARIs) impact on COVID-19-related hospitalization risk? Findings: In this case-control study, which compared 943 adult males hospitalized for COVID-19 with age-matched men from Lombardy (all beneficiaries of the Regional Health Service), the proportion of patients aged >55 years, who were exposed to 5ARIs (dutasteride, finasteride), was significantly lower (5.57%) than that of the general male population (8.14%) (p=0.0083, 95%CI=0.75-3.97%). Meaning: The use of 5ARIs was associated with a potential reduced risk of hospitalization for COVID-19 in men older than >55 years. This suggests the opportunity to test whether antiandrogen therapies can prevent the transition from paucisymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection to overt pulmonary disease.
