The 2023 BMC Pulmonary Medicine article “A retrospective study regarding the influence of COVID-19 disease on asthma” explores how COVID-19 affects people with asthma. The study involves a retrospective review of the medical records of asthma patients who had received a COVID-19 diagnosis. According to the study, individuals with COVID-19 and asthma were more likely to require mechanical breathing, to be taken to the intensive care unit (ICU), and to require hospitalization than those without asthma. The study also discovered that individuals with poorly managed asthma were more likely to have catastrophic COVID-19 outcomes than those with well-controlled asthma. The study offers important insights into how COVID-19 affects asthmatic individuals. The study emphasizes how managing asthma symptoms is crucial for lowering the likelihood of catastrophic COVID-19 outcomes in asthma patients.

The article provides insight into the factors impacting parental decisions toward COVID-19 vaccination. An econometric analysis was performed to determine the variables that affected parents’ choices about COVID-19 vaccinations. The article concluded by stating that parents who were more likely to consider COVID-19 vaccination were those with higher levels of trust in the vaccine, those who had already immunized their children against influenza, and those with had higher levels of concern for their children’s health. This source material provides valuable insights into vaccination choices among asthmatic children and the consequences it has on their overall recovery from covid 19.
