Multicenter Study Observational Study
Early assessment of patients with COVID-19 and dyspnea using lung ultrasound scoring.
The main objective was to evaluate the precision of the Modified Lung Ultrasound (MLUS score) for predicting the need for respiratory support in the first 48 hours in patients with dyspnea due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The secondary objectives were 1) to compare the MLUS and National Early Warning Score 2 (NEWS2), as well as the combination of both scores, as predictors of severity according to the World Health Organization (WHO) Ordinal Scale for Clinical Improvement; and 2) to compare severity assessed by ultrasound scoring to severity assessed by lung computed tomography (CT). ⋯ An early lung ultrasound score can predict clinical severity in patients with dyspnea due to COVID-19.
