Worsening quality of life in asthmatics, non-obstructed smokers and ACO during the COVID-19 pandemic in patients from the ELSA-Brazil
During the pandemic, low quality of life levels were observed in all groups. IgE levels were higher in asthmatics, while the NOS group exhibited greater inflammation. Spirometry indicated lung function impairment in the asthma and ACO groups. Correlations were observed between inflammatory mediators, interleukins, and quality of life.
