Consequently, the purpose of this study is to retrospectively investigate the incidence of AAI in patients with severe SARS-CoV-2 infection and to correlate findings to prognosis data. (a) Severe or critical lung parenchyma lesion characteristics of COVID-19, i.e., involving at least 50% of the total lung parenchyma [10] ; (b) Presence of both entire adrenal glands in the inferior part of the volume of acquisition; (c) Positive RT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2 at the time of chest CT. To conclude, our work demonstrated a high incidence of acute adrenal infarction on initial chest CT of severe COVID-19 (51/219, 23%), which might be a sign of a poorer prognosis.	./cache/cord-256497-kyer0zjx.txt	./txt/cord-256497-kyer0zjx.txt
