Chest Computed Tomographic Imaging Findings and Clinical Criteria of COVID-19 in Zagazig University Hospitals, Egypt

Background: COVID-19 pneumonia patients have variant prognosis and mortality. A great concern should be given to the clinical imaging characteristics of those patients, As a result,the aim current research was identify clinical, laboratory, chest computed tomography results in confirmed COVID -19 as well compare severe non-severe groups. Methods: In retrospective cross-sectional analysis, 169 individuals were enrolled. Computerized medical reports images used. Results: The enrolled classified into asymptomatic: 2 (1.2%), mild: 33 (19.5%), moderate: 103 (60.9%) severe: 31 (18.3%). Fever, cough, shortness breath significantly more frequent symptoms severely infected (p=0.001). Moreover, highly significant decrease SPO2(p=0.00), remarkable increase WBCs (p=0.002), CRP Ferritin detected that group (p=0.00). “high resolution findings associated with multiple lesions both lungs GGO consolidation (p < 0.05). Crazy pavement, septal thickening, subpleural thickening also presented rather than other groups Conclusion: Occurrence factors including aging, fever, dyspnea, comorbidities, hypoxemia, increased WBCs, CRP, ferritin prevalent pneumonia. Septal independent predictors severity HRCT.The use diagnosis assessment illness is crucial.Keywords: COVID-19, Chest high , Ground Glass Opacities (GGO).
