Abstract

Objective: Although thoracic computed tomography (T-CT) has high sensitivity in the diagnosis of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), a specific involvement type or region for COVID- 19 has not yet been identified in images consistent with viral pneumonia. This study determined the relationship between the degree of involvement in T-CT and mortality in patients with COVID- 19. Materials and Methods: One hundred and fifteen COVID-19 patients admitted to our intensive care unit were included in this study. Obtained T-CTs were evaluated according to the T-CT severity scoring system. Patients were divided into two groups as the mortality and the survival group. The two groups were compared in terms of age and gender, the presence and localization of abnormal T-CT findings and total CT score. Results: The total CT score was significantly higher in the mortality group than in the survival group (10.88±5.67 vs 8.53±4.89, p=0.048). Bilateral involvement in the T-CT scan was found to be significantly higher in the mortality group. Conclusion: Total CT scoring has predictive value in determining the survival of patients with a critical COVID-19. Bilateral involvement in the T-CT scans performed in the early period of disease and a total CT score of ≥10 may be indicative of mortality in COVID-19 patients.

Özet

Amaç: Toraks bilgisayarlı tomografisi (T-BT) koronavirüs hastalığı-2019 (COVID-19) tanısında yüksek duyarlılığa sahip olmasına rağmen viral pnömoni ile uyumlu görüntülerde COVID-19 için spesifik bir tutulum tipi veya bölgesi henüz belirlenmemiştir. Bu çalışmada, COVID-19 hastalarında T-BT’de tutulum derecesi ile mortalite arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenmesi amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışmaya yoğun bakım ünitesine yatırılan 115 COVID-19 hastası dahil edildi. Elde edilen T-BT’ler, T-BT şiddet skorlama sistemine göre değerlendirildi. Hastalar mortalite ve sağkalım grubu olarak iki gruba ayrıldılar. İki grup yaş ve cinsiyet, anormal T-BT bulgularının varlığı ve lokalizasyonu ve toplam BT skoru açısından karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Toplam BT skoru, mortalite grubunda sağ kalım grubuna göre anlamlı derecede daha yüksekti (10,88±5,67’ye karşı 8,53±4,89, p=0,048). T-BT taramasında bilateral tutulum mortalite grubunda anlamlı olarak daha yüksek bulundu. Sonuç: Toplam BT skorunun kritik COVID-19 hastalarında sağ kalımı belirlemede prediktif değeri vardır. Hastalığın erken döneminde yapılan T-BT taramalarında bilateral tutulum ve toplam BT skorunun ≥10 olması COVID-19 hastalarında mortalite göstergesi olabilir.
