General Objective: To analyze the factors associated with the therapeutic response in asthmatic children from 5 to 17 years of age in the context of SARS-CoV-2.
Specific objectives
- To describe the quality of life, economic costs and knowledge about asthma in patients from 5 to 17 years of age.
- Identify the presence of IgG and IgM anti-SARS-Cov-2 antibodies in asthmatic patients from 5 to 17 years of age
- Identify polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with the lack of therapeutic response to glucocorticoids and beta agonists
- Analyze the relationship between the expression of the NR3C1, ADRB2, ADCY9 genes and the presence of IgG and IgM anti-SARS-Cov-2 antibodies.
- Identify polymorphisms (SNPs) in the ACE2 gene associated with the progression of the disease caused by SARS-CoV-2
- To identify barriers and facilitators in asthma self-care practices according to the perception of asthmatic patients, their caregivers and medical personnel from a qualitative phenomenological approach.
- Design an educational piece to promote proper asthma treatment.
