cord-321074-7jfy8cn6	Caruso, Damiano	Quantitative Chest CT analysis in discriminating COVID-19 from non-COVID-19 patients	2020-10-12		.txt	text/plain	2918	141	45	Quantitative Chest CT analysis was performed with a dedicated software that provides total lung volume, healthy parenchyma, GGOs, consolidations and fibrotic alterations, expressed both in liters and percentage. Lung quantification in liters showed significant differences between COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 patients for GGOs (0.55 ± 0.26L vs 0.43 ± 0.23L, p = 0.0005) and fibrotic alterations (0.05 ± 0.03 L vs 0.04 ± 0.03 L, p < 0.0001). A recent consensus statement from the Fleischner Society pointed out as imaging is indicated for medical triage of suspected COVID-19 patients presenting moderate-severe clinical features and a high pre-test probability of disease [13] . According to the hospital internal protocol, at the time of admission suspected COVID-19 patients presenting moderate-severe clinical features and a high pre-test probability of disease (fever defined as > 37.5 °C and respiratory symptoms or direct contact with a confirmed COVID-19 patient) underwent nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swabs for SARS-CoV-2.	./cache/cord-321074-7jfy8cn6.txt	./txt/cord-321074-7jfy8cn6.txt
