In addition, a multivariate analysis study in Korea by Choi et al.50also found no significant relationship between asthma and mortality or ICU admission in COVID‐19 patients (OR 1.317, 95% [CI] 0.708–2.451) and (OR 0.656, 95% [CI] 0.295–1.460). This study concluded that asthmatic patients are less susceptible to infection with the COVID‐19 virus which could be attributed to the lower expression of ACE2 found in lung tissue.51 The gene discussed is ACE2; the disease is asthma.
