Prognosis prediction of the mean tracheal air column area in COVID-19 patients

Aim: SARS-CoV-2 infection frequently affects the lungs, it can also cause severe inflammation in lower respiratory tract, leading to tracheal damage. We aimed investigate relationship between mean air column and COVID-19.Material Method: Chest computed tomography scans of COVID-19 patients treated an intensive care unit June 1st, 2020 October 1st 2022 were retrospectively evaluated. The area trachea was measured effect values obtained on mortality length stay for examined.Results: found that increase increased by 1.218 times. determined unit. Furthermore, we showed advanced age factors mortality.Conclusion: Tracheomegaly is a poor prognostic factor disease easily diagnosed with CT.
