Аннотация

Актуальность. Интерпретация изменений в  легких, выявленных при компьютерной томографии (КТ) у  пациентов с  COVID-19, в  некоторых случаях неоднозначна. Сегодня не существует высокодостоверного алгоритма оценки и  предсказания течения заболевания на основании рентгенологических данных.

Цель  – выявить взаимосвязь рентгенологических симптомов COVID-19 и клинической картины заболевания.

Материал и  методы. В  обсервационное ретроспективное когортное исследование включены 92 пациента, которые были распределены в  3  группы соответственно клинической тяжести течения COVID-19 (группа легкой COVID-19 – 29  пациентов, среднетяжелой COVID-19  – 33 и  тяжелой COVID-19  – 30). Всем участникам исследования проведена КТ органов грудной клетки при поступлении в  стационар и  на 10-й день госпитализации.

Результаты. Практически у  всех пациентов (n=28; 96,6%) в  группе тяжелой COVID-19 наблюдалось увеличение объема поражения легких с  течением заболевания. Риск ухудшения клинической картины у  этих пациентов был в  15,037  раза выше в  сравнении с  пациентами со стабильным объемом поражения легких. На основании данных о  распространенности поражения легких можно было с достаточно высокой точностью (площадь под ROC-кривой 0,831, чувствительность 87,5%, специфичность 70,0%; p<0,001) предсказать ухудшение клинического состояния пациентов. Наличие дилатации бронхов в общей группе больных было статистически значимо (p<0,01) связано с  увеличением распространенности поражения легких. У 5 (62,5%) пациентов с  выявленной дилатацией бронхов зарегистрировано клиническое ухудшение.

Заключение. Компьютерно-томографический паттерн у  пациентов с  COVID-19 не всегда коррелирует с  клинической тяжестью заболевания. Таким образом, КТ легких не может быть использована для прогнозирования течения COVID-19 без учета данных клинического и  лабораторного исследований.

Abstract

Rationale: Interpretation of lung abnormalities identified by computed tomography (CT) in patients with COVID-19 could be controversial in some cases. At present, there is no highly reliable algorithm for assessment and prediction of the disease coursed based on CT findings.

Aim: To identify an association of the radiological findings in COVID-19 and its clinical manifestations.

Materials and methods: This observational retrospective cohort study included 92 patients, categorized into three groups according to their clinical severity (mild COVID-19 29 patients, moderate COVID-19 33 patients, and severe COVID-19 30 patients). Chest CT was performed in all patients at admittance to the hospital and at day 10 of their hospital stay.

Results: Almost all patients with severe COVID-19 (28 patients, 96.6%) demonstrated an increase in the damaged lung parenchyma volume at the second CT. The risk of clinical deterioration in these patients was 15.037-fold higher, compared to that in the patients with a  stable volume of lung lesions. The area of pulmonary lesions at the first CT demonstrated its good prognostic ability (ROC area under the curve 0.831, sensitivity 87.5%, specificity 70.0%, p<0.001) to predict clinical deterioration. The presence of bronchial dilation in the total patient group significantly (p<0.01) correlated with an increase of the pulmonary lesion area. Clinical deterioration was found in 5 patients (62.5%) with bronchial dilatation.

Conclusion: CT patterns in COVID-19 patients do not always correlate with clinical severity of the disease. Therefore, lung CT cannot be used for prediction of the COVID-19 course as a  single method without clinical and laboratory assessments.
