COVID-19 pneumonia in the emergency department: correlation of initial chest CT findings with short-term outcome

Diffuse distribution, septal thickening, and more extensive lung involvement correlated with lower SpO2 and higher CRP levels. Patients that needed hospitalization and ICU admission presented more extensive lung disease on CT.
