Abstract

Object: To Investigate the correlation between lung damage on computed tomography and clinical features in moderate and severe COVID-19 patients. Subjects and research methods: cross-sectional description, prospective combined retrospective study on 35 moderate and severe COVID-19 patients treated at Military Hospital 103 from March 2022 to March 2023. Results: Age and gender did not correlate with the degree of lung damage on CT scan. The severity of the disease and difficulty breathing are related to the level of lung damage on CT scan. SpO2 index has a strong negative correlation with CT score (r=-0.891, p<0.001). Conclusion: Factors including disease severity, dyspnea, and SpO2 are related to the level of lung damage on CT scan.
