Associations of asthma and its phenotypes with risks of severe COVID-19 in the UK Biobank. The risk of severe COVID-19 was compared between each of the asthma (overall) and 5 phenotype groups—participants with asthma (n = 65,561), allergic asthma (n = 31,393), nonallergic asthma (n = 34,168), asthma with COPD (n = 7,815), and asthma without COPD (n = 57,746)—to the common reference group (participants without asthma or COPD; n = 426,566). Multivariable logistic regression models adjusted for potential confounders, including patient’s age, sex, race/ethnicity, and body mass index.
