IMCAS proyect: Impact of COVID19 on Asthma
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The COVID19 pandemic is having an immeasurable impact on the economy and on morbidity and mortality. Knowledge and scientific evidence about this disease is advancing rapidly, but it is not yet known whether asthmatic patients suffering from COVID19 have an exacerbation of asthma, or whether this viral infection has an impact on control and lung function in the short to medium term.
The aim of this study is to define the changes that occur in these two parameters in asthmatic patients suffering from COVID19. To this end, asthmatic patients who have suffered a SARS-CoV-2 infection and who have required an emergency consultation or hospitalisation will be collected in a pneumology consultation and matched by age, sex and severity of asthma with a group that has not suffered the same. Both will be followed for one year, and lung function will be tested at six months and exacerbations and changes in ACT during the following year.
These data are intended to improve the available knowledge on the impact of IDVC19 on asthma patients with a view to making appropriate recommendations, prevention and treatment adjustments in line with the results obtained.
