Point-of-care Lung Ultrasound Is More Sensitive than Chest Radiograph for Evaluation of COVID-19	2020-06-19		.txt	text/plain	3406	193	51	Our primary objective was to determine whether lung ultrasound (LUS) B-lines, when excluding patients with alternative etiologies for B-lines, are more sensitive for the associated diagnosis of COVID-19 than CXR. METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study of all patients who presented to a single, academic emergency department in the United States between March 20 and April 6, 2020, and received LUS, CXR, and viral testing for COVID-19 as part of their diagnostic evaluation. Lung ultrasound (LUS) has been shown to outperform chest radiograph (CXR) in its ability to detect abnormalities with non-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pulmonary infections. This was a retrospective, observational, cohort study of patients undergoing COVID-19 testing (based on real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction [RT-PCR] of nasopharyngeal sampling performed on an assay developed by the Center for Regenerative Medicine at Boston University, operating under an Emergency Use Authorization], who also had both diagnostic LUS and CXR for the evaluation of COVID-19 in the emergency department (ED).	./cache/cord-282198-ugmv9om1.txt	./txt/cord-282198-ugmv9om1.txt
