ABSTRACT
Aim: To assess Chest X-ray
results in COVID-19 positive individuals diagnosed at the Corona Percolation
Center, Mayo Hospital, Lahore, using the British Society of Thoracic Imaging
CXR classification.
Methods: Altogether RT-PCR
COVID-19 positive individuals tested at the Corona Percolation Epicenter, Mayo
Hospital, Lahore between June 25th, 2020 and May 20th, 2021 included in this
research. The cohort's mean age with age range was computed. The present
symptoms and co-morbidities have been examined and tallied in rapports of facts
and percentages. The outcomes of portable CXRs were categorized using the BSTI
categorization and described in terms of numbers and percentages.
Results: The participants'
average age remained 46 years. Cough (69%) was the most common symptom,
followed by fever (20%), difficulty breathing (42%), sore throat (6%), and loss
of flavor and aroma (6%). (18 percent). The most common co-morbidity included
hypertension (six) (22 percent). 3 participants (8%) had normal CXRs, whereas
eight (25%) showed characteristic COVID CXRs. There were 23 (73%) ambiguous
individuals, with just one (4%) having solitary long illness. Five (14% of
individuals) had widespread lung disease, whereas 20 (64%) had detection of
lung participation. The majority of 21 individuals (65%) had bilateral middle
and lower zonal lesions.
Conclusion: COVID-19 CXRs in this
investigation showed a range of opacities from pure clear glass to mixed
grounds glass opacification to accumulation in the contralateral peripheral
intermediate and reduced lung zones. In these cases, the BSTI CXR writing
categorization of Corona is legitimate, with both the inclusion of central
zonal participation in conventional COVID-19 requirements rather than actually
lower zone engagement.
