BACKGROUND: High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) has proved to be an
important diagnostic tool throughout the COVID-19 pandemic outbreaks. Increasing
number of the infected personnel and shortage of real-time transcriptase
polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) as well as its lower sensitivity made the CT a
backbone in diagnosis, assessment of severity, and follow-up of the cases.
RESULTS: Two hundred forty patients were evaluated retrospectively for clinical,
laboratory, and radiological expression in COVID-19 infection. One hundred
eighty-six non-severe cases with home isolation and outpatient treatment and 54
severe cases needed hospitalization and oxygen support. Significant difference
between both groups was encountered regarding the age, male gender, > 38° fever,
dyspnea, chest pain, hypertension, ? 93 oxygen saturation, intensive care unit
(ICU) admission, elevated D-dimer, high serum ferritin and troponin levels, and
high CT-severity score (CT-SS) of the severe group. CT-SS showed a negative
correlation with O(2) saturation and patients? outcome (r ? 0.73/p 0.001 and r ?
0.56/p 0.001, respectively). Bilateral peripherally distributed ground glass
opacities (GGOs) were the commonest imaging feature similar to the literature.
CONCLUSION: Older age, male gender, smoking, hypertension, low O(2) saturation,
increased CT score, high serum ferritin, and high D-dimer level are the most
significant risk factors for severe COVID-19 pneumonia. Follow-up of the
recovered severe cases is recommended to depict possible post COVID-19 lung
fibrosis.
