  • The study investigates how coronary artery calcification (CAC) identified through low-dose chest computed tomography (LDCT) can predict the need for intensive care in COVID-19 patients.
  • It included 89 patients with confirmed COVID-19 and found that an Agatston score greater than 0 is a significant predictor for ICU admission, intubation, or death.
  • The results suggest that analyzing CAC during initial diagnosis can provide valuable insights into the severity of a patient's condition and their potential need for intensive care treatment.
