Utility of chest radiograph severity scoring in emergency department for predicting outcomes in COVID-19: A study of 1275 patients.

Objective: To measure the reliability and reproducibility of a chest radiograph severity score (CSS) in prognosticating patient's severity of disease and outcomes at the time of disease presentation in the emergency department (ED) with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
