Correlation of important prognostic factors and CT scores in invasive and non-invasive ventilation of COVID-19 patients

CONCLUSION: Patients who started treatment with NIMV had relatively low poor prognostic factors, their mortality was lower. However, the total CT score at diagnosis was expected to be higher in those who were performed IMV, no significant difference was found in our study. We concluded that the severity classification of the patients cannot be made according to CT scores. CT results should be evaluated as a whole according to the patient's clinic, predisposing factors, and response to treatment.PMID:36748772 | DOI:10.14744/tjtes.2022.92770
