cord-292396-8w06oc5i	Leger, Thomas	Low-dose chest CT for diagnosing and assessing the extent of lung involvement of SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia using a semi quantitative score	2020-11-03		.txt	text/plain	3373	209	57	OBJECTIVES: The purpose is to assess the ability of low-dose CT (LDCT) to determine lung involvement in SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia and to describe a COVID19-LDCT severity score. The objective is to evaluate the ability of (LDCT) to analyze well-known imaging abnormalities as well as to establish a COVID19-LDCT score reflecting disease severity and correlate it with clinical risk scores to allow better selection and follow-up of patients. For each patient, the following clinical parameters were recorded: age, sex, date of first symptoms, date of chest CT scan, delay between the first symptom and chest CT scan, fever, cough, dyspnea, diarrhea, myalgia, rhinorrhea, abnormalities at lung auscultation, temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, and oxygen needed. The main findings of the presented work are that 1) LDCT scans can depict the typical features of SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia with limited irradiation; and 2) the COVID19-LDCT score is correlated with the NEWS used routinely to assess disease severity and patient prognosis.	./cache/cord-292396-8w06oc5i.txt	./txt/cord-292396-8w06oc5i.txt
