OBJECTIVE: There have been conflicting reports on the relationship between asthma and COVID-19 severity. This study aimed to compare the risk of death among children with asthma and healthy peers hospitalized due to COVID-19.
METHODS: We carried out an analysis of all pediatric patients 2-19 years of age with asthma and COVID-19 registered in Influenza Epidemiological Surveillance Information System-Gripe, a Brazilian nationwide surveillance database, between February 2020 and March 2022. The primary outcome was time to death, which was evaluated considering discharge as a competitive risk using the cumulative incidence function.
RESULTS: Among 30,405 hospitalized children with COVID-19, 21,340 (70.2%) had no comorbidities, 6444 (21.2%) had comorbidities other than asthma, 2165 (7.1%) had asthma, and 465 (1.5%) had asthma with other comorbidities. The estimated probability of a fatal outcome for each group was 4.1%, 14.9%, 2.1%, and 10.7%, respectively. After adjustment, children with asthma had a 60% reduction in the hazard of death than healthy peers (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.39, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.29-0.53, p < 0.0001). Among children with asthma and no other comorbidities, two covariates were independently associated with in-hospital mortality, age ≥12 years, HR = 4.0, 95% CI, 2.5-6.4), and low oxygen saturation at admission (HR = 2.3, 95% CI, 1.4-3.2).
CONCLUSION: Children with asthma and no comorbidities had a lower risk of death compared with healthy peers after controlling for clinical and demographic confounding factors.
