On multivariate logistic regression was done to adjust for reported poor prognostic factor, baseline EGFR, and the treatment patients received for COVID‐19; patients with moderate to severe asthma were significantly more likely to require invasive mechanical ventilation with OR of 5.857 (95% CI = 1.017–33.742, p‐value = 0.048). The gene discussed is EGFR; the disease is asthma.
