Temporal Radiographic Trajectory and Clinical Outcomes in COVID-19 Pneumonia: A Longitudinal Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Currently, little is known about the relationship between the temporal radiographic latent trajectories, which are based on the extent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia and clinical outcomes. This study aimed to elucidate the differences in the temporal trends of critical laboratory biomarkers, utilization of critical care support, and clinical outcomes according to temporal radiographic latent trajectories.

Methods

We enrolled 2,385 patients who were hospitalized with COVID-19 and underwent serial chest radiographs from December 2019 to March 2022. The extent of radiographic pneumonia was quantified as a percentage using a previously developed deep-learning algorithm. A latent class growth model was used to identify the trajectories of the longitud
