| Popis: | Objective:The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has turned into a global health issue in a short time because of its increasing mortality and high infection rate. Since thoracic computed tomography (CT) cannot be performed and it is not possible to transfer COVID-19 patients followed-up in the intensive care unit (ICU), follow-up, and diagnosis using lung ultrasound (LUS) has been highly advantageous nowadays. The aim of this study was to assess the correlation between the thoracic CT score and LUS score and to determine their association with mortality.Materials and Methods:Patients admitted to the ICU, diagnosed to have COVID-19 pneumonia, underwent an initial thoracic CT examination and who underwent LUS during admission to the ICU were included in the study. The clinical parameters, demographic characteristics, prognosis, LUS, and thoracic CT scores of the patients were recorded prospectively. The survivors and deceased patients’ demographic characteristics were compared.Results:The mean age of the 29 patients included in this study was 61.93±14.21 years, and the male-to-female ratio was 18/11 (62.1%/37.9%). A strong positive correlation was between the thoracic CT score and LUS score (r=0.964; p |
