Materials And Methods: Descriptive, cross-sectional study in asthma patients from the Virgen de la Victoria University Hospital influential area, Málaga (Spain). Asthma Control Test (ACT) results, demographic and clinical characteristics, and GEMA indicators of quality asthma care were obtained from each participating patient.

Acute Lung Injury Biomarkers in the Prediction of COVID-19 Severity: Total Thiol, Ferritin and Lactate Dehydrogenase.

SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) patients who develop acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) can suffer acute lung injury, or even death. Early identification of severe disease is essential in order to control COVID-19 and improve prognosis. Oxidative stress (OS) appears to play an important role in COVID-19 pathogenesis; we therefore conceived a study of the potential discriminative ability of serum biomarkers in patients with ARDS and those with mild to moderate disease (non-ARDS).
