Longitudinal Radiological Findings in Patients With COVID-19 With Different Severities: From Onset to Long-Term Follow-Up After Discharge.

ABSTRACT: Objective: This study aimed to investigate the evolution of radiological findings in the patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia with different severities from onset to 1-year follow-up and identify the predictive factors for different pulmonary lesion absorption status in the patients infected with COVID-19. Methods: A retrospective study was performed on the clinical and radiological features of 175 patients with COVID-19 pneumonia hospitalized at three institutions from January 21 to March 20, 2020. All the chest CT scans during hospitalization and follow-ups after discharge were collected. The clinical and radiological features from the chest CT scans both at the peak stage and before discharge from the hospital were used to predict whether the pulmona
