MethodsAnonymous data from the MSHS COVID-19 registry were downloaded, and ED and inpatient encounters were selected. This dataset contained patient demographics, borough of residence, vitals on arrival to the hospital, and prescribed medications during hospital admission. COVID-19 results were confirmed using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction on nasopharyngeal swabs. A history of asthma was self-reported at the time of testing. The main outcome in this study was mortality. Relevant cofounders included patient characteristics at admission and COVID-19 status. A sample size of 3,814 patients was needed to detect an association between asthma and mortality with 80% power, assuming an effect size of 3%, and a significance level of 0.05. All analyses were performed in SAS v9. 4 (SAS Institute). This study was reviewed by the institutional review board of Mount Sinai and considered exempt.ResultsThere were 11,405 patients who experienced a COVID-19-related hospital encounter within the MSHS (February 29, 2020-April 24, 2020). Of these, 54.8% had confirmed COVID-19 and 45.2% had a COVID-19-negative test. Fifty-one percent of patients were women, mostly nonwhite (72.2%), with a median age of 57 years (interquartile range, 33); the patient’s borough of residence was mostly Manhattan (42.1%), Brooklyn (24.5%), and Queens (18.9%). Asthma was self-reported by 618 patients (5.4%), including 4.4% of the patients with COVID-19, and 6.8% of the patients without COVID-19 (P<. 0001). Asthma prevalence was 8.8% in patients living in the Bronx, 7.6% in Manhattan, 4.6% in Staten Island, and 4.0% in Queens. Patients with an asthma history were between the ages of 40 and 69 years (48.6%),< 40 years (28.3%), and> 69 years (23.1%).
