Abstract In this letter-to-the-editor the Task Force on Gender and Diversity issues
in Neurology founded under the auspices of the European Academy of Neurology (EAN)
addresses various gender issues that are arising during the COVID-19 pandemic. These
issues concern different aspects, spanning from gender disparities in health care
workforce to gender differences amongst patients suffering from COVID-19, risk factors,
occurrence of neurological complications and (outcomes of) management. Due to the
continuous flow of COVID-19 related papers this review cannot be comprehensive. We
attempted to select the most relevant literature on this topic.
