Pneumonia, Covid-19, Chest radiograph, Follow-upAbstract
Chest X-ray examination is the primary method for diagnosing patients infected with COVID-19. However, there is currently no information on the role of follow-up chest radiography in asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic patients. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence and predictive factors associated with pneumonia from follow-up chest radiographs in asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic patients. This retrospective cohort study included 717 newly diagnosed patients with COVID-19 who were asymptomatic or had mild symptoms and weretreated at Singburi Hospital or field hospitals between September 1, 2021, and February 28, 2022. Data were analyzed using multiple logistic regression analysis.
The average age was 37 years. Most of the samples were 420 female patients (58%). A total of 522 patients (73%) received COVID-19 vaccination, 309 patients (43%) had comorbidities, and 177 patients (24%) were obese. Pneumonia was detected on follow-up chest radiography in 108 patients (15%). Factors associated with detecting pneumonia on follow-up chest radiography included age, body mass index, COVID-19 vaccination status, chronic kidney disease stage 3 or higher, diarrhoea, elevated CRP, AST, and ALT levels.
