Popis: Background The impact of asthma diagnosis and asthma endotype on outcomes from COVID-19 infection remains unclear. Objective To describe the association between asthma diagnosis and endotype and clinical outcomes among patients diagnosed with COVID-19 infection. Methods Retrospective multicenter cohort study of outpatients and inpatients presenting to six hospitals in the Mount Sinai Health System New York metropolitan region between March 7 th to June 7 th , 2020, with COVID-19 infection, with and without a history of asthma. The primary outcome assessed was in-hospital mortality. Secondary outcomes included hospitalization, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, mechanical ventilation, and hospital length of stay. Outcomes were compared in patients with or without asthma using a multivariate Cox regression model. Outcomes stratified by blood eosinophilia count were also assessed. Results Of 10,523 patients diagnosed with COVID-19 infection, 4902 patients were hospitalized, and 468 had a diagnosis of asthma (4.4%). When adjusted for COVID-19 disease severity, comorbidities, and concurrent therapies, patients with asthma had a lower mortality [adjusted odds ratio (OR) 0.64 (0.53-0.77), p
