This study aimed to complement previous studies on the risk of herpes zoster in the asthmatic adult population. The Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service—National Sample Cohort (HIRA-NSC) from 2002 through 2013 was used. A total of 64,152 participants with herpes zoster were matched for age, sex, income, region of residence, hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia with 239,780 participants who were included as a control group. In both the herpes zoster and control groups, previous history of asthma were investigated. The crude and adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of asthma for herpes zoster were analyzed using unconditional logistic regression analysis. Subgroup analyses were conducted according to age and sex. Approximately 16.2% (9728/59,945) and 12.8% (30,752/239,780) of participants in the herpes zoster and control groups, respectively, had a previous history of asthma (P < 0.001). The herpes zoster group demonstrated a 1.32-times higher odds of asthma than the control group (95% CI 1.28–1.35, P < 0.001). The increased odds of asthma in the herpes zoster group persisted in all the age and sex subgroups. The odds for asthma were higher in the herpes zoster group.

哮喘会增加带状疱疹的风险：一项使用国家样本队列的巢式病例对照研究。

本研究旨在补充先前关于哮喘成人人群中带状疱疹风险的研究。使用了 2002 年至 2013 年的韩国健康保险审查和评估服务 - 国家样本队列 (HIRA-NSC)。共有 64,152 名带状疱疹患者在年龄、性别、收入、居住地区、高血压、糖尿病和血脂异常方面进行匹配，其中 239,780 名参与者作为对照组。在带状疱疹组和对照组中，调查了既往哮喘病史。使用无条件逻辑回归分析分析带状疱疹哮喘的粗略和调整优势比 (OR) 和 95% 置信区间 (CI)。根据年龄和性别进行亚组分析。大约 16.2% (9728/59,945) 和 12.8% (30,752/239, 780) 带状疱疹组和对照组的参与者分别有哮喘病史 (P < 0.001)。带状疱疹组的哮喘发病率是对照组的 1.32 倍（95% CI 1.28-1.35，P < 0.001）。带状疱疹组患哮喘的几率在所有年龄和性别亚组中都持续存在。带状疱疹组患哮喘的几率更高。
