CT Scores Predict Mortality in 2019-nCoV Pneumonia

While 2019-nCoV nucleic acid swab tests has high false positives rate, How to diagnose 2019-nCoV pneumonia and predict prognosis by CT is very important.In this retrospective single-center study, we consecutively included suspected 2019-nCoV pneumonia critical cases in the intensive care unit of Wuhan third hospital from January 31, 2020 to February 16, 2020. The cases were confirmed by real-time RT-PCR, and all patients were evaluated with CT, cutoff values were obtained according to the Yoden index, and were divided into high CT score group and low CT score group. Epidemiological, demographic, clinical, and laboratory data were collected.
