摘要
Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a potentially lethal respiratory illness caused by a newly identified coronavirus called severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Given the novelty of the virus, high caseloads, and increasing turnaround time for reverse transcriptasepolymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) results, accurate information about the clinical course and prognosis of individual patients was largely unknown. This has forced physicians all over the world to brainstorm attempts to come up with reliable indicators like chest high -resolution computed tomography (HRCT) for any changes suggestive of COVID-19; surrogate laboratory parameters such as C-reactive protein (CRP), ferritin, D-dimer, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), or interleukin-6 (IL -6) for assessing the severity of the disease; and other organ-specific tests to identify the multiorgan involvement in severe-to-critical COVID19. Chest computed tomography (CT) scans play a significant role in the management of COVID-19 disease and serve as an indicator of disease severity and its possible outcome, which might help in the early identification of patients who might need critical care and earlier prognostication. Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted at a single center in a level 3 critical care unit (CCU) of a 750 -bed teaching hospital in Hyderabad, Telangana, India, over a period of six months. All RTPCR-positive COVID-19 patients admitted to the CCU with CT chest performed within 24 hours of admission were screened for eligibility for this study. CT severity scoring was based on chest HRCT or CT. Results: Of the 110 patients, a majority (36.36%) were aged between 61 and 70 years. The mean age of our study population was 59.65 +/- 11.88 years. Of the 110 patients, the majority were admitted to the hospital for 22-28 days (24.55%), followed by 8-14 days (22.72%), and 21.82% were admitted for one day. Of the 110 patients, a majority were admitted to the CCU for seven days (41.82%), followed by 15-21 days (24.55%); and 19.09% were admitted for 8-14 days. Most of the patients were discharged (65.45%), and we had a 34.55% mortality rate in our study. We found a significant association between chest CT severity score (CTSS) and the age of the patient, duration of hospital stay, and duration of CCU stay using multivariate regression analysis. Conclusion: CTSS could be greatly helpful for the screening and early identification of the disease, especially in those patients awaiting an RT-PCR report or with negative RT-PCR, which would lead to appropriate isolation and treatment measures. Early detection could also help assess the progression of the disease, alter the course of management at the earliest point possible, and improve the prognostication of COVID-19 patients.
