Thus, this study aimed to investigate whether there was a significant Spain through meta-analysis. Methods: The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were strictly complied with conducting study. pooled odds ratio (OR) corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) calculated by random-effects model. I 2 statistics heterogeneity, sensitivity analysis robustness, Begg’s test, Egger’s test publication bias, along subgroup analyses confounding also performed support foundation Results: meta-analysis revealed that significantly associated lower risk among patients model (pooled OR = 0.78, CI 0.69–0.88, 35%). Further male proportion sample size indicated statistically negative correlation did exist mortality. Robustness no on-bias evidenced analysis, respectively. Conclusion: In conclusion, found from Spain, especially elderly patients. addition, asthmatic infected may be at death compared non-asthmatic patients, which is not cause undue concern, thereby reducing burden medication.
