    Abstract The study and practice of pulmonary medicine have been profoundly influenced by race theory, which was ascendant at the time of key developments within the specialty. We explore how, as a social determinant of health, race remains a powerful driver of present-day health disparities in respiratory diseases. Both legacy and contemporary inequities are identified through Dr DR Williams's model of cultural, structural, and interpersonal racism.

  4. Article: Structural Racism and the Social Determinants of Health in Asthma.

    Martinez, Adali / Thakur, Neeta

    Abstract Asthma prevalence and morbidity are disproportionately higher among minoritized communities in the United States. Racial and ethnic disparities in asthma result from complex interactions across biological, environmental, and social factors. Asthma is considered a complex heterogeneous disease consisting of different phenotypes, some of which may be more common in individuals impacted by the downstream effects of structural racism and lack of access to the social determinants of health. Structural racism across generations has created and reinforced inequitable systems through policies and practices which are embedded in the economic, educational, health care, and justice systems (Bailey et al., N Engl J Med 384(8):768-773, 2021; Bailey et al., Lancet 389:1453-1463, 2017; Williams et al., Annu Rev Public Health 40:105-125, 2019). This manifests in an inequitable distribution of resources and the social determinants of health affecting an individual's physical and social environment (Bailey et al., Lancet 389:1453-1463, 2017; Thakur et al., Am J Respir Crit Care Med 202:943-949, 2020; Martinez et al., J Allergy Clin Immunol 148(5):1112-1120, 2021). In this chapter, we outline how inequity in housing, zoning laws, urban planning, education, employment, healthcare access, and healthcare delivery is linked to higher asthma prevalence and morbidity. We also describe the role that chronic physiologic stress has on asthma by enhancing neuroimmune and immunologic responses to environmental exposures. Interventions aimed at addressing the physical or social environment of an individual or community have been shown to improve asthma outcomes in patients at higher risk of severe disease.

    Abstract Introduction: Severe COVID-19 patients experience elevated levels of serologic indicators of inflammation which can alter blood cell lineages and cause lymphopenia. The objective of this study was to find out the prevalence of severe COVID-19 among admitted COVID-19 patients in a tertiary care centre.
    Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in a tertiary care centre from 22 June 2021 to 30 September 2021 after obtaining ethical approval from the Institutional Review Committee (Reference number: IRC-PA-146/2077-78). Confirmed COVID-19 patients by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction and admitted in the COVID block during the study period were included and those who were discharged on request or referred or unavailable blood tests were excluded. A convenience sampling method was used. Point estimate and 95% Confidence Interval were calculated.
    Results: Among 72 admitted COVID-19 patients, 63 (87.5%) (79.86-95.14, 95% Confidence Interval) patients had severe disease. The mean neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and mean lymphocyte to C-reactive protein ratio were 11.60±8.15 and 25.55±20.96 respectively.
    Conclusions: The prevalence of severe COVID-19 was higher than in other studies done in similar settings. We suggest clinical parameter-based early categorisation of COVID-19 cases to utilize limited resources during the pandemic.
    Keywords: COVID-19; c-reactive protein; lymphocytes; severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus.
