Evaluation of the relationship between inpatient COVID-19 mortality and chest CT severity score

Bita Abbasi et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the performance of a semi-quantitative CT severity score in identifying the risk of mortality in COVID-19 patients. The results showed that patients with higher CT severity score had significantly higher mortality rate. In addition, older age and the presence of coronary artery disease at admission were associated with increased risk of in-hospital death.

Clinical and laboratory data, radiological structured report findings and quantitative evaluation of lung involvement on baseline chest CT in COVID-19 patients to predict prognosis

Cappabianca Salvatore et al.

Summary: In patients with COVID-19, both the visual scoring of CT images and the computerized quantification of consolidation, emphysema, and residual healthy lung parenchyma were independent predictors of patient outcomes.

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.

Tomographic score (RAD-Covid Score) to assess the clinical severity of the novel coronavirus infection

Tatiana Figueiredo Guimaraes Ribeiro et al.

Summary: The study introduced a RAD-Covid Score for assessing the severity of pulmonary disease in Covid-19 patients, which showed good accuracy in predicting clinical severity and mortality. The score was positively correlated with clinical severity and mortality, serving as an independent predictor of severity in patients with confirmed Covid-19 infection.

COVID-19: Histopathological correlates of imaging patterns on chest computed tomography

Azar Kianzad et al.

Summary: This study found that the radiological findings of ground-glass opacity (GGO) and consolidation in COVID-19 patients are mainly related to diffuse alveolar damage (DAD) or a combination of DAD and vascular damage plus thrombosis. Different typical CT patterns in COVID-19 are not specifically related to distinct histopathological patterns, and microvascular damage and thrombosis are even present in radiologically normal lung tissue.

Drug-Induced Liver Injury in COVID-19 Patients: A Systematic Review

Fatemeh Sodeifian et al.

Summary: Liver injury in COVID-19 patients may be caused by the virus itself or the administration of certain drugs. Close monitoring of liver function is recommended for patients, especially those treated with medications such as remdesivir, lopinavir/ritonavir, and tocilizumab.

Biomarkers and outcomes of COVID-19 hospitalisations: systematic review and meta-analysis

Preeti Malik et al.

Summary: This study found a significant association between lymphopenia, thrombocytopenia, and elevated levels of CRP, PCT, LDH, D-dimer, and COVID-19 severity. These results have the potential to be used as early biomarkers to improve the management of COVID-19 patients by identifying high-risk patients and allocating healthcare resources appropriately in the pandemic.

Spectrum of CT appearance and CT severity index of COVID-19 pulmonary infection in correlation with age, sex, and PCR test: an Iraqi experience

Ammar Mosa Al-Mosawe et al.

Summary: In Iraq, the number of new COVID-19 cases has significantly increased since June 2020, leading to a reliance on CT scans due to limited PCR kits. The study found that ground glass opacities were the most common pulmonary changes and were significantly correlated with higher CT severity scores, male gender, and older age groups. CT scans can be a useful tool in diagnosing and predicting the severity of COVID-19, especially in developing countries.
