Thorax Computed Tomography Severity Score and Outcome in COVID-19 Patients
- Conditions
- COVID-19
- Interventions
- Diagnostic Test: CT-Scan
- Registration Number
- NCT04424849
- Lead Sponsor
- Tepecik Training and Research Hospital
- Brief Summary
The most common thorax Computed tomography (CT) findings are multifocal ground-glass opacities and peripheral consolidation in patients with COVID-19. Septal thickening, bronchiectasis, pleural thickening, and subpleural involvement may also be observed. Although these findings are not specific to COVID-19, the severity of pulmonary involvement is expected to be correlated with thorax CT findings.
- Detailed Description
Thorax computed tomography severity score defined by Yang et al. can be used to evaluate the severity of pulmonary involvement in COVID-19 patients. We aimed to investigate whether the initial thorax computed tomography severity score can predict mechanical ventilation requirement and mortality in COVID-19 patients.
