Comparison of plasma cytokine profiles between COVID-19 patients with and without asthma within different severity groups. a, d, g Heatmaps showing the comparison of FI levels of 51 plasma proteins between asthmatic and non-asthmatic patients in critical (a), severe (d), and mild (g) COVID-19 groups detected with Luminex assay. b, e, h Volcano plots showing differential abundance of 51 plasma proteins between asthmatic and non-asthmatic patients in critical (b), severe (e), and mild (h) COVID-19 groups. The horizontal dash-lines indicate p-value of 0.05. The proteins with significantly lower levels in asthma group were shaded in blue, and significantly higher were shaded in red. c, f, i Scatterplots of FI levels of cytokines showed significant difference between asthmatic and non-asthmatic patients in critical (c), severe (f), and mild (i) COVID-19 groups. *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.001
