Previous studies have reported a correlation between coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) and asthma. However, data on whether asthma constitutes a risk factor for COVID-19 and the prevalence of asthma in COVID-19 cases still remain scant. Here, we interrogated and analyzed the association between COVID-19 and asthma.
In this study, we systematically searched PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases for studies published between January 1 and August 28, 2020. We included studies that reported the epidemiological and clinical features of COVID-19 and its prevalence in asthma patients. We excluded reviews, animal trials, single case reports, small case series and studies evaluating other coronavirus-related illnesses. Raw data from the studies were pooled into a meta-analysis.
We analyzed findings from 18 studies, including asthma patients with COVID-19. The pooled prevalence of asthma in COVID-19 cases was 0.08 (95% CI, 0.06-0.11), with an overall I of 99.07%, < 0.005. The data indicated that asthma did not increase the risk of developing severe COVID-19 (odds ratio [OR] 1.04 (95% CI, 0.75-1.46) = 0.28; I=20%). In addition, there was no significant difference in the incidence of asthma with age in COVID-19 infections [OR] 0.77(95% CI, 0.59-1.00) = 0.24; =29%).
Taken together, our data suggested that asthma is not a significant risk factor for the development of severe COVID-19.
先前的研究报告了 2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)与哮喘之间存在相关性。然而,关于哮喘是否构成 COVID-19 的危险因素以及 COVID-19 病例中哮喘的患病率的数据仍然很少。在这里,我们探讨并分析了 COVID-19 与哮喘之间的关联。
在这项研究中,我们系统地检索了 PubMed、Embase 和 Web of Science 数据库,以获取 2020 年 1 月 1 日至 8 月 28 日期间发表的研究。我们纳入了报告 COVID-19 的流行病学和临床特征及其在哮喘患者中患病率的研究。我们排除了综述、动物试验、单一病例报告、小病例系列和评估其他冠状病毒相关疾病的研究。将研究的原始数据汇总到荟萃分析中。
我们分析了包括 COVID-19 哮喘患者在内的 18 项研究的结果。COVID-19 病例中哮喘的总患病率为 0.08(95%CI,0.06-0.11),总体 I²为 99.07%,<0.005。数据表明,哮喘不会增加发展为严重 COVID-19 的风险(比值比[OR]1.04(95%CI,0.75-1.46)=0.28;I²=20%)。此外,在 COVID-19 感染中,哮喘与年龄的发生率之间没有显著差异[OR]0.77(95%CI,0.59-1.00)=0.24;I²=29%)。
总的来说,我们的数据表明哮喘不是发展为严重 COVID-19 的重要危险因素。
