简介
Background
The long-term post-acute pulmonary sequelae of COVID-19 remain unknown.
Purpose
To evaluate lung injury in patients affected by COVID-19 pneumonia at the 6-month follow-up CT examination compared with the baseline chest CT examination.
Materials and Methods
From March 19, 2020, to May 24, 2020, patients with moderate to severe COVID-19 pneumonia who had undergone baseline chest CT were prospectively enrolled at their 6-month follow-up. The CT qualitative findings, semiquantitative Lung Severity Score (LSS), and the well-aerated lung volume at quantitative chest CT (QCCT) analysis were analyzed. The performance of the baseline LSS and QCCT findings for predicting fibrosis-like changes (reticular pattern and/or honeycombing) at the 6-month follow-up chest CT examination was tested by using receiver operating characteristic curves. Univariable and multivariable …
