Chest CT severity score to forecast clinical requirement of oxygen support in Covid-19 patients

Objectives: All over the world, attempts are made at early prediction of disease severity ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and catching those patients who likely to develop severe may undergo cytokine storm. Though clinical laboratory parameters mainstay in diagnosing oxygen requirements, high resolution computed tomographic (HRCT) scanning chest is one such promising tool help identify a subset very course disease. The purpose this research find an answer question can CT score (CTSS) on HRCT thorax scan forecast requirements support covid-19 patients? Methods: During period from May 2020 October 15, 2020, 250 with confirmed RT-PCR diagnosis first or repeat sample also underwent chest, were retrospectively assigned (CTSS). Patients categorized into mild groups data obtained, analysis how many both progress require intubation? Results: Out total patients, 175 males 75 females. average was 19.5. 150 belong CTSS group while 100 group. Overall 180 required support, 80 In group, low-flow oxygen. 5 oxygen, high-flow 20 needed intubation. 8 out intubated succumbed death. 28 mortalities reported which 22 With Receiver operator characteristics (ROC) analysis, we found cut off CTS score. At greater than 13 showed significant effect area under curve (AUC) 0.996 (95% CI 0.98 1; P 26) in-hospital mortality. Area 0.78 0.73 0.83;
