Predicting the aggravation of coronavirus disease-19 pneumonia using chest computed tomography scans

Abstract: Presently, coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) is spreading worldwide without an effective treatment method. For COVID-19, which is often asymptomatic, it is essential to adopt a method that does not cause aggravation, as well as a method to prevent infection. Whether aggravation can be predicted by analyzing the extent of lung damage on chest computed tomography (CT) scans was examined. The extent of lung damage on pre-intubation chest CT scans of 277 patients with COVID-19 was assessed. It was observed that ag… Show more

“…Such patients are often unable to provide information regarding their baseline glycaemic control and this study, therefore, reflects actual prehospital conditions. Furthermore, even though the time elapsed since symptom onset could not be reported, it has been shown that aggravation was predictably happening after 7 days in most patients [34]. Therefore, it is likely that most patients reported in the current study were taken care of approximately 7 days after the onset of symptoms.…”
