CT quantification of COVID-19 pneumonia extent to predict individualized outcome.

Objectives:  This study aimed to predict individual COVID-19 patient prognosis at hospital admission using artificial intelligence (AI)-based quantification of computed tomography (CT) pulmonary involvement.

Background: Assessing patient prognosis in COVID-19 pneumonia is crucial for patient management and hospital and ICU organization.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 559 patients with PCR-verified COVID-19 pneumonia referred to the hospital for a severe disease course.
