Résumé

The aim of this study was to validate a composed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) chest radiography score (CARE) based on the extension of ground-glass opacity (GG) and consolidations (Co), separately assessed, and to investigate its prognostic performance. COVID-19-positive patients referring to our tertiary centre during the first month of the outbreak in our area and with a known outcome were retrospectively evaluated. Each lung was subdivided into three areas and a three-grade score assessing the extension of GG and Co was used. The CARE was derived from the sum of the subscores. A mixed-model ANOVA with A total of 1203 chest radiographs of 175 patients (120 males; mean age 67.81±15.5 years old) were examined. On average, each patient underwent 6.8±10.3 radiographs. Patients in ICU as well as deceased patients showed higher CARE scores (p<0.05, each). Age, Co and CARE significantly influenced the outcome (p<0.05 each). The CARE demonstrated good accuracy (area under the curve (AUC)=0.736) using longitudinal data as well as at admission only (AUC=0.740). A CARE score of 17.5 during hospitalisation showed 75% sensitivity and 69.9% specificity. The CARE was demonstrated to be a reliable tool to assess the severity of pulmonary involvement at chest radiography with a good prognostic performance.
