Abstract

Purpose: To determine the characteristics of pulmonary lesions on multi-slice computed tomography in patients with post-COVID-19 and relationship with age and gender. Material and methods: 518 patients with post-COVID-19 were examined by 128-slice MSCT at Phu Tho General Hospital from Mar. 2022 to Sep. 2022. The rates of findings were canculated. The relationship between pulmonary lesions with age and gender were determined. Results: 518 patients included 38.4% male, 61.6% female,  with an average age of 37.91±13.72 years old. The pulmonary lesions were seen on CT scan in 51.2% patients and were interstitial thickening (32.6%), ground glass opacity (17.4%), consolidation (8.1%), crazy-paving pattern (0.4%), bronchiectasis (8.7%), alveolar dilatation (9.1%), pulmonary vessel focal dilation (1%). The multi logistic regression showed the age was a correlation with pulmonary lesions (OR: 1.941; 95% CI: 1.655-2.277; <0.001). Conclusions: MSCT is helpful for detail providing characteristics of pulmonary lesions in patients with post-COVID-19.
