Objective: High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) may lack sensitivity for the early detection of interstitial lung disease associated with systemic sclerosis (SSc-ILD). Lung ultrasound is an emerging technique diagnosis SSc-ILD. This cross-sectional study aimed to describe prevalence syndrome in SSc patients normal HRCT and pulmonary function tests (PFT). Methods: Thirty HRCT, FVC > 80% predicted DLCO 70% were included. Echocardiography PFT including impulse oscillometry cardiopulmonary...
Introduction The aim of this study was to evaluate how chest computed tomography (CT) can predict pejorative evolution in COVID-19 patients. Material and methods Data on 349 consecutive patients who underwent a CT either for severe suspected pneumonia or clinical aggravation with were retrospectively analysed. In total, 109 had laboratory-confirmed infection by positive reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) included. main outcomes death the need invasive endotracheal...
Background COVID-19 is a complex virus that has been spreading since December 2019. In this study, we aimed to assess the association between chest Computed Tomography (CT) signs and pejorative evolution, such as death, use of invasive endotracheal ventilation (IEV) intensive care unit hospitalization (ICUH). We also evaluated diagnostic performance CT versus gold standard, RT-PCR. Methods This retrospective monocentric study included 349 patients who had either for clinical suspicion...
