UnknownAsthma morbidity measures across Black ethnic subgroups.

Background

Black adults are disproportionately affected by asthma and are often considered a homogeneous group in research studies despite cultural and ancestral differences.

Objective

We sought to determine if asthma morbidity differs across adults in Black ethnic subgroups.

Metho...

UnknownAdherence to adding inhaled corticosteroids to rescue therapy in a pragmatic trial with adults with asthma: A pilot study.

Background

Underuse of guideline-recommended inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) controller therapy is a risk factor for greater asthma burden. ICS concomitantly used with rescue inhalers (Patient-Activated Reliever-Triggered ICS ['PARTICS']) reduced asthma exacerbations in efficacy trials, but wh...

UnknownPreference for and impact of telehealth vs in-person asthma visits among Black and Latinx adults.

Background

Black and Latinx adults experience disproportionate asthma-related morbidity and limited specialty care access. The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 pandemic expanded telehealth use.

Objective

To evaluate visit type (telehealth [TH] vs in-person [IP]) prefere...

UnknownReliever-Triggered Inhaled Glucocorticoid in Black and Latinx Adults with Asthma.

Background

Black and Latinx patients bear a disproportionate burden of asthma. Efforts to reduce the disproportionate morbidity have been mostly unsuccessful, and guideline recommendations have not been based on studies in these populations.

Methods

In this pragmatic, open-label trial...

UnknownA randomized, open-label, pragmatic study to assess reliever-triggered inhaled corticosteroid in African American/Black and Hispanic/Latinx adults with asthma: Design and methods of the PREPARE trial.

Background

Asthma prevalence, morbidity, and mortality disproportionately impact African American/Black (AA/B) and Hispanic/Latinx (H/L) communities. Adherence to daily inhaled corticosteroid (ICS), recommended by asthma guidelines in all but the mildest cases of asthma, is generally poor. A...

UnknownDevelopment of a Definition of Postacute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 Infection.

Importance

SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with persistent, relapsing, or new symptoms or other health effects occurring after acute infection, termed postacute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC), also known as long COVID. Characterizing PASC requires analysis of prospectively and un...

UnknownResearching COVID to Enhance Recovery (RECOVER) adult study protocol: Rationale, objectives, and design.

Importance

SARS-CoV-2 infection can result in ongoing, relapsing, or new symptoms or other health effects after the acute phase of infection; termed post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC), or long COVID. The characteristics, prevalence, trajectory and mechanisms of PASC are ill-d...

UnknownDifferentiation of Prior SARS-CoV-2 Infection and Postacute Sequelae by Standard Clinical Laboratory Measurements in the RECOVER Cohort.

Background

There are currently no validated clinical biomarkers of postacute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC).

Objective

To investigate clinical laboratory markers of SARS-CoV-2 and PASC.

Design

Propensity score-weighted linear regression models were fitted to evaluate d...

UnknownOlfactory Dysfunction After SARS-CoV-2 Infection in the RECOVER Adult Cohort.

Importance

Olfactory dysfunction is common after SARS-CoV-2 infection and has been associated with cognitive loss in other conditions. Formal testing is needed to characterize the presence, severity, and patterns of olfactory dysfunction.

Objective

To characterize long-term olfactory ...

UnknownSex Differences in Long COVID.

Importance

A substantial number of individuals worldwide experience long COVID, or post-COVID condition. Other postviral and autoimmune conditions have a female predominance, but whether the same is true for long COVID, especially within different subgroups, is uncertain.

Objective

To...
