Correlation between age, sex, and severity of Coronavirus disease-19 based on chest computed tomography severity scoring system

Abstract Background Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is the most recent global health emergency; early diagnosis of COVID-19 very important for rapid clinical interventions and patient isolation; chest computed tomography (CT) plays an role in screening, diagnosis, evaluating progress disease. According to results different studies, due high severity disease, clinicians should be aware potential risk factors associated with fatal outcome, so CT scoring system was designed semi-quantitative assessment lung patients, ranking pulmonary involvement on 25 points scale according extent abnormalities; this study aims evaluate retrospectively relationship between age both sexes based system. Results Age group C (40–49 year) commonest that affected by 21.3%, while least F (? 70 years) only 6.4%. As regards COVID-RADS classification, COVID-RADS-3 commonly presented at all groups. Total score had a positive strong significant correlation ( r = 0.64, P < 0.001). Also, observed males females 0.59, 0.001) 0.69, respectively. Conclusion We concluded can considered as factor sexes. used diagnostic tool evaluation progression
