BACKGROUND: While the prevalence of severe cases and mortality rate of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) appear to be reducing, the clinical characteristics and severity of hospitalized patients with asthma and COVID-19 remain largely unknown. This study aimed to examine the association of asthma with COVID-19 severity and mortality risk.

METHODS: Data from the Japanese COVID-19 Registry Database were used to investigate the association between COVID-19 and asthma. This study focused on patients hospitalized for COVID-19 in 690 facilities from January 31, 2020, to December 31, 2022. Multivariate analysis using logistic regression was conducted to assess whether asthma, compared with other conditions, represents a risk factor for mortality and invasive mechanical ventilation after COVID-19.

RESULTS: In total, 72,582 patients with COVID-19 were included in the analysis, of whom, 3731 were diagnosed with asthma. From January 2020 to June 2021, asthma showed no significant association with an increase in mortality (OR 0.837, 95% CI 0.639-1.080, p = 0.184) or invasive mechanical ventilation events (OR 1.084, 95% CI 0.878-1.326, p = 0.440). An analysis conducted after July 2021 yielded similar results. For patients with asthma, factors such as age, body-mass index, sex, and chronic kidney disease increased the risk of mechanical ventilation. However, non-vaccination status and high blood pressure increased the risk of mechanical ventilation during the second half of the study.

CONCLUSION: Patients with asthma did not have an increased risk of mortality or mechanical ventilation due to COVID-19. However, patients with asthma had a higher risk of more severe COVID-19 due to factors such as advancing age, elevated body-mass index, chronic kidney disease, and non-vaccination.
