Asthma prolongs intubation in COVID-19

This study looked at comparing intubations times for COVID-19 patients with and without asthma
All patients data was gathered via EMR from the Rush University Medical Center in Chicago Illinois
It was found that approximately 26% patients that tested positive and were a part of this study had asthma
Ultimately, it was found that patients with asthma had longer intubation times than those without (10.17 ± 6.91 with asthma, and 5.29 ± 5.98 without)
Additionally, it was found that younger patients with asthma (<65 years old) had significantly longer intubation periods compared to those with asthma
It was also seen that patients with asthma tended to have longer hospitalizations than those without, particularly the 50 – 64 age group where asthma patients stayed in the hospital 2 days longer than those without
