Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that patients with preexisting CRD would be more negatively impacted after Covid-19 infection compared to those without preexisting CRD. <\/p>\n<p>However, until recently, empirical evidence quantifying this difference was lacking in the literature.<\/p>\n<div class=\"gdm-company-profile-unit__container\" id=\"company_profile_form\">\n<p class=\"gdm-company-profile-unit__sub-heading\">Access the most comprehensive Company Profiles<br \/>\n            on the market, powered by GlobalData.
