Method: Observational retrospective study in Nord-Franche-Comté Hospital with external validation in Besançon University Hospital, France which included all adults with L-UAT performed during January 2018 to December 2022.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prognostic value of chest CT characteristics in COVID-19 patients, aiming to better understand factors influencing mortality.
- A retrospective analysis of 515 patients was conducted, revealing that advanced age and significant pulmonary involvement on CT scans were linked to higher in-hospital mortality rates within 30 days.
- Key findings highlight that CT indicators like over 50% lung involvement, pleural effusions, and nodular consolidations are critical for assessing severe cases of COVID-19 and guiding treatment decisions.
We conducted a retrospective study of pregnant persons hospitalized for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection in France. Delta variant infection had a relative risk of 14.33 for intensive care unit admission and 9.
