cord-296440-18vpg419	Beurnier, Antoine	Characteristics and outcomes of asthmatic patients with COVID-19 pneumonia who require hospitalisation	2020-07-30		.txt	text/plain	3554	206	49	The objective of this study was to investigate the characteristics and outcomes of asthmatic patients with COVID-19 pneumonia who required hospitalisation during the spring 2020 outbreak in Paris, France. As the world faces the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic due to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, concerns have arisen about a possible increased risk of asthma exacerbations. In Wuhan, authors pointed out a rate of 0.9% [3] , markedly lower than that in the local population; in another study investigating the clinical characteristics and allergy status of 140 patients infected by SARS-CoV-2 in Wuhan, no patient were reported as being asthmatic [3] . All adult patients hospitalized from March 15, 2020 to April 15, 2020 with a diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection and reporting a history of asthma were included. Moreover, obesity, hypertension and diabetes were the most common comorbidities observed in our cohort of hospitalized asthmatics with COVID-19, which is consistent with earlier research in other patient groups [4] [23] .	./cache/cord-296440-18vpg419.txt	./txt/cord-296440-18vpg419.txt
