Risk of SARS-CoV-2 Infection and Disease Severity Among People With Bronchiectasis: Analysis of Three Population Registries

Risk of SARS-CoV-2 Infection and Disease Severity Among People With Bronchiectasis Analysis of Three Population Registries To the Editor: COVID-19 impact on people with airway disease is inconsistent, with different effects on cystic fibrosis, 1 COPD, 2 and asthma. A collaboration between researchers and patients identified questions related to COVID-19 and chronic airways conditions. Among these were the severity of COVID-19 in people with lung disease and the additional risk of treatment with inhaled corticosteroids if infected with SARS-CoV-2. 3 Using population registries, we conducted a retrospective cohort study that aimed to assess (1) the risk of individuals with bronchiectasis of becoming infected with SARS-CoV-2 and (2) the risk of an adverse outcome if infected. In December 2020, we invited all centers in European Multicenter Bronchiectasis Audit and Research Collaboration (EMBARC) 4 to participate, looking for electronic medical registries of a national/ regional population. Centers with available electronic medical registries were Catalonia, 5 Denmark,6 and Israel. 7 Methods To assess the association between bronchiectasis and SARS-CoV-2 infection in each electronic medical registry, we identified adults who were $ 18 years as of January 1, 2020 (cohort entry date). People with bronchiectasis were frequency matched by sex, age ( 2 years), and region with people without bronchiectasis with the use of ratios of 1:10 (Denmark), 1:9 (Israel), and 1:2 (Catalonia) subjects. Participants were followed from January 1, 2020, until the occurrence of positive SARS-CoV-2 polymerase chain reaction (PCR), death, or December 31, 2020, whichever came first. To assess the association between bronchiectasis and severe COVID-19 or death, we included adults with positive SARS-CoV-2 PCR between January 1, 2020, and December 31, 2020 (prior to COVID-19 vaccination). Matching was performed by sex, age ( 2 years), and the month of positive SARS-CoV-2 PCR, with the use of ratios of (1:5) Denmark, 1:9 (Israel) and 1:2 (Catalonia) Patients were followed from the date of positive PCR until the occurrence of the outcome of interest (disease severity or death), maximum 90 days follow up or end of follow up on January 31, 2021, whichever came first. COVID-19 severity was determined as per World Health Organization definitions. 8 Results Variables retrieved from the electronic medical registries included age, sex, ethnicity, socioeconomic status or income in tertile groups, smoking status (ever vs never), and comorbidities that included COPD, asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, obesity, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, ischemic heart disease, stroke, congestive heart failure, malignancy, renal failure, liver disease, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic corticosteroids use in the prior 6 months, and inhaled corticosteroids use in the prior 6 months. Statistical analyses were conducted separately for each of the study cohorts. Baseline characteristics for individuals with bronchiectasis and control subjects were compared with the use of the Chi-square test for the categoric variables and the independent t-test for age. For each study, outcome data were analyzed with the use of the Cox regression model and hazard ratios (HRs) for COVID-19; COVID-19 severity and mortality rates were estimated. To account for missing data in the socioeconomic status, we included the missing data as a separate category in the multivariable model. Hazard ratio estimates, which were adjusted for all covariates, were combined across studies with the use of random effects meta-analysis model to account for heterogeneity between countries. NCSS statistical software (version 9; NCSS Statistical Software) was used for the meta analysis. All other analyses were performed with the use of IBM SPSS Statistics 28.0 (IBM). P < .05 for the two- tailed tests was considered statistically significant. Discussion Data on smoking and obesity were not reliably captured in Denmark, and data on socioeconomic status were not reliable in the Danish cohort, which used income records as a surrogate for socioeconomic status. COVID-19 severity was avaliable in the Catalan and Israeli registries. 8 The Danish registry used data on [ Chest Infections Research Letters ] chestjournal.org 79 TABLE 1 ] Characteristics of the Study Cohorts Variable, No. (%) Catalonia Denmark a Israel Bronchiectasis (n Â¼ 16,647) Control Subjects (n Â¼ 33,294) P Value Bronchiectasis (n Â¼ 14,484) Control Subjects (n Â¼ 144,840) P Value Bronchiectasis (n Â¼ 9,978) Control Subjects (n Â¼ 89,802) P Value Age, median SD, y 80.4 8.8 80.6 8.6 < .001 67.4 13.3 67.3 13.3 .44 68.3 16.8 67.5 16.8 < .001 Female 9,135 (54.9) 18,270 (54.9) > .99 9,065 (62.6) 90,650 (62.6) > .99 5,606 (56.2) 50,454 (56.2) > .99 Socioeconomic status < .001 < .001 .002 Low 7,033 (42.2) 14,411 (43.3) 5,279 (36.4) 49,843 (34.4) 3,236 (32.4) 29,426 (32.8) Medium 4,868 (29.2) 9,105 (27.3) 4,950 (34.2) 47,295 (32.7) 4,345 (43.5) 38,803 (43.2) High 82 (0.5) 139 (0.4) 4,255 (29.4) 47,701 (32.9) 2,384 (23.9) 21,245 (23.7) Missing 4,664 (28.0) 9,639 (29.0) . . 13 (0.1) 328 (0.4) Smoking b 6,725 (40.4) 11,446 (34.4) < .001 . . . 4,241 (42.5) 34,786 (38.7) < .001 Obesity 55 (0.3) 120 (0.4) .649 673 (4.6) 5,440 (3.8) < .001 2,836 (28.4) 31,812 (33.8) < .001 Diabetes mellitus 180 (1.1) 388 (1.2) .429 1,066 (7.4) 8,885 (6.1) < .001 2,867 (28.7) 22,831 (31.0) < .001 Hypertension 171 (1.0) 370 (1.1) .418 3,286 (22.7) 26,660 (18.5) < .001 5,006 (50.2) 46,437 (51.7) .003 Asthma 51 (0.3) 57 (0.2) .003 3,280 (22.6) 3,803 (2.6) < .001 2,785 (27.9) 6,913 (7.7) < .001 COPD 307 (1.8) 239 (0.7) < .001 3,630 (25.1) 6,044 (4.2) < .001 3,367 (33.7) 5,732 (6.4) < .001 Pulmonary fibrosis NA NA . 633 (4.4) 562 (0.4) < .001 425 (4.3) 361 (0.4) < .001 Malignancy 38 (0.2) 95 (0.3) .283 1,575 (10.9) 14,083 (9.7) < .001 2,241 (22.5) 16,957 (18.9) < .001 Ischemic heart disease 58 (0.3) 125 (0.4) .695 1,424 (9.8) 9,159 (6.3) < .001 2,312 (23.2) 18,267 (20.3) < .001 Congestive heart failure 342 (2.1) 532 (1.6) < .001 751 (5.2) 4,221 (2.9) < .001 1,095 (11.0) 7,281 (8.1) < .001 Past cerebrovascular accident 134 (0.8) 313 (0.9) .144 1,072 (7.4) 9,747 (6.7) .002 1,166 (11.7) 9,797 (10.9) .019 Renal failure 173 (1.0) 414 (1.2) .051 393 (2.7) 2,401 (1.7) < .001 1,155 (11.6) 9,160 (10.2) < .001 Liver disease NA NA . 283 (2.0) 1,774 (1.2) < .001 455 (4.6) 2,540 (2.8) < .001 Rheumatoid arthritis NA NA 516 (3.6) 1,403 (1.0) < .001 295 (3.0) 1,518 (1.7) < .001 (Continued) 80 Research Letters [ 1 6 5 # 1 C H E S T J A N U A R Y 2 0 2 4 ] hospitalizations within 30 days of positive PCR as a surrogate for moderate or severe disease. Table 1 describes cohort characteristics. Our first objective was bronchiectasis and SARS-CoV-2 infection. In multivariate analyses, bronchiectasis was associated with a lower incidence of COVID-19 in the Catalan cohort, but not in the Danish or Israeli cohorts. In the three cohorts, bronchiectasis was not associated signifcantly with COVID-19 infection (pooled HR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.41 to 1.49) (Fig 1A). Our second objective was bronchiectasis and COVID-19 severity. In multivariate analyses, bronchiectasis was associated with a significantly increased risk for severe disease compared with no bronchiectasis in Catalonia and Denmark only. This association was also preserved in the combined analysis (pooled HR, 1.43; 95% CI, 1.08 to 1.90) (Fig 1B). In the combined analysis, bronchiectasis was not associated with a significant increase in mortality rates (pooled HR, 1.08; 95% CI, 0.90 to 1.28) (Fig 1C). In summary, our analysis shows that bronchiectasis is associated with a slightly, but significantly, elevated risk for moderate-to-severe COVID-19, although the risk for death does not seem to be altered. Regarding the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection, the results varied among cohorts, with a significantly lower risk in Catalonia, but not in Israel or Denmark. This discrepancy may reflect different shielding or testing habits of individuals with bronchiectasis. A previous study in general practice clinics in England found that the risk for hospitalization with COVID-19 was elevated significantly in people with bronchiectasis (HR, 1.34; 95% CI, 1.20 to 1.50) after adjustment for demographics and comorbidities. However, the risk of COVID-19 infection was not assessed. 9 Our study confirmed that the risk for severe COVID-19 was slightly, but significantly, elevated among people with bronchiectasis, but death was not. We suggest two possible explanations to the difference between the two outcomes: (1) The risk for severe disease is increased, but small in magnitude, and is not reflected in the mortality rates, which was a rare event. (2) The definition of severe disease may be subject to misclassification bias, because bronchiectasis may be associated with abnormal chest imaging and desaturation independent of COVID-19 severity, which would falsely elevate World Health Organization severity scores. The decision to hospitalize may also be TABLE 1 ] (Continued) Variable, No. (%) Catalonia Denmark a Israel Bronchiectasis (n Â¼ 16,647) Control Subjects (n Â¼ 33,294) P Value Bronchiectasis (n Â¼ 14,484) Control Subjects (n Â¼ 144,840) P Value Bronchiectasis (n Â¼ 9,978) Control Subjects (n Â¼ 89,802) P Value Systemic cortecosteroids intake in the last prior 6 mo < .001 < .001 < .001 0 13,430 (80.7) 30,190 (90.7) 12,698 (87.7) 139,924 (96.6) 8,344 (83.6) 83,156 (92.6) 1-2 2,309 (13.9) 2,150 (6.5) 1,140 (7.9) 3,284 (2.3) 1,139 (11.4) 5,271 (5.9) $3 908 (5.5) 954 (2.9) 646 (4.5) 1,632 (1.1) 495 (5.0) 1,375 (1.5) Inhaled corticosteroids intake in the prior 6 mo < .001 < .001 0 . . . 10,006 (69.1) 136,181 (94.0) 7,079 (70.9) 84,505 (94.1) 1-2 . . . 1,283 (8.9) 3,071 (2.1) 1,302 (13.0) 3,015 (3.4) $3 . . . 3,195 (22.1) 5,588 (3.9) 1,597 (16.0) 2,282 (2.5) NA = not applicable. a Danish registry substituted income tertiles for socioeconomic status tertiles. b Smoking is defined as ever vs never. chestjournal.org 81 Catalonia Bronchiectasis 16,647 1,028 0.44 (0.41-0.47) 0.43 (0.40-0.46) Israel Controls 144,840 2,784 Ref Ref Denmark Bronchiectasis 14,484 320 1.16 (1.03-1.30) 1.12 (0.99-1.26) Controls 33,294 4,523 Ref Ref Bronchiectasis 9,978 337 0.96 (0.86-1.07) 0.97 (0.87-1.09) Controls 267,936 10,485 Ref Ref All sites Bronchiectasis 41,109 1,685 0.79 (0.41-1.51) 0.78 (0.41-1.49) Controls 89,802 3,178 Ref Ref Study site A COVID-19 infection 0.5 Less PCR positive More PCR positive 0.75 1 2 Patient number Outcome N Crude HR (95% CI) Multivariable HR (95% CI) Catalonia Bronchiectasis 845 263 1.35 (1.16-2.0)1.35 (1.16-2.0) 1.30 (1.11-1.52) Israel Controls 1,590 306 Ref Ref Denmark Bronchiectasis 318 164 3.04 (2.52-3.68) 1.91 (1.54-2.37) Controls 1,690 405 Ref Ref Bronchiectasis 337 67 1.51 (1.16-1.95) 1.16 (0.87-1.55) Controls 6,313 1,132 Ref All sites Bronchiectasis 1,500 494 1.84 (1.07-3.12) 1.43 (1.08-1.90) Controls 3,033 421 Ref Ref Study site B Moderate-severe COVID-19 0.5 Less moderate/severe COVID More moderate/severe COVID 0.75 1 2 Patient number Outcome N Crude HR (95% CI) Multivariable HR (95% CI) Catalonia Bronchiectasis 845 143 1.15 (0.94-1.41)1.15 (0.94-1.41) 1.09 (0.88-1.34) Israel Controls 1,590 80 Ref Ref Denmark Bronchiectasis 318 22 1.38 (0.86-2.22) 1.13 (0.69-1.86) Controls 1,690 252 Ref Ref Bronchiectasis 337 31 1.38 (0.94-2.01) 1.00 (0.65-1.53) Controls 6,313 539 Ref Ref All sites Bronchiectasis 1,500 196 1.22 (1.03-1.44) 1.08 (0.90-1.28) Controls 3,033 207 Ref Ref Study site C COVID-19 mortality 0.5 Less mortality within 90 days More mortality within 90 days 0.75 1 2 Patient number Outcome N Crude HR (95% CI) Multivariable HR (95% CI) Figure 1 â€“ Hazard ratio estimates (adjusted for all covariates mentioned in the Methods section) were combined across studies with the use of the random effects meta-analysis model.

The main limitation of our study is the possibility of innaccuracy of bronchiectasis diagnosis and of COVID-19 severity. Furthermore, bronchiectasis severity was not available in our analysis and may have had an impact on COVID-19 severity. However, the use of three cohorts with different local practices, all of which showed no difference in mortality rates and only small differences in COVID-19 severity, is reassuring to patients. Our cohorts were very heterogenous in the prevalence of comorbidities among individuals with bronchiectasis. During the study period (2020), vaccinations were not available, and results from studies guiding treatment of hospitalized COVID-19 were not yet published. We may hypothesize that the risk for adverse outcomes from COVID-19 in people with bronchiectasis in subsequent years of the pandemic is even less pronounced. To conclude, we found that, in three countries, a diagnosis of bronchiectasis was associated with a slightly, but significantly, increased risk of COVID-19 severity, but not with increased mortality rates.
