Changes in computed tomography findings of COVID-19 pneumonia: Less extensive lung involvement with decreasing disease prevalence

Terman Gumus et al.

Summary: The study found that as the prevalence of COVID-19 infection decreased in the Turkish population, the extent of pulmonary involvement shown in chest CT scans also tended to decrease. The severity of COVID-19 pneumonia appears to decrease in patients presenting in the later weeks compared to the earlier weeks, particularly in older patients, suggesting a variable disease severity at different temporal windows of the epidemic.

Chest CT in COVID-19 at the ED: Validation of the COVID-19 Reporting and Data System (CO-RADS) and CT Severity Score A Prospective, Multicenter, Observational Study

Arthur W. E. Lieveld et al.

Summary: CT plays a key role in COVID-19 diagnostic workup, with the CO-RADS system showing high diagnostic accuracy. The CTSS is associated with hospital admission, ICU admission, and 30-day mortality, supporting its use in triage and management decisions for COVID-19 patients at the ED.

S-Variant SARS-CoV-2 Lineage B1.1.7 Is Associated With Significantly Higher Viral Load in Samples Tested by TaqPath Polymerase Chain Reaction

Michael Kidd et al.

Summary: Analysis of recent test data shows that samples containing the SARS-CoV-2 variant B1.1.7 with mutation Delta 69/70 exhibit S gene target failure (SGTF) in ThermoFisher TaqPath RT-qPCR. Samples with SGTF profile are more likely to have higher viral loads, indicating higher infectivity and rapid spread of this variant.

Case fatality risk of the SARS-CoV-2 variant of concern B.1.1.7 in England, 16 November to 5 February

Daniel J. Grint et al.

Summary: The SARS-CoV-2 B.1.1.7 VOC is spreading across Europe and poses a higher risk of death compared to non-VOC cases, with increased mortality in older individuals and those with comorbidities. This variant has the potential to spread faster and cause higher mortality than previous strains.
