Retrospective study reveals correlation between CT severity scores and age groups, indicating higher scores in older males with lung infections.

To assess the correlation of CT severity scores in COVID-19 patients with respect to age and sex.
Retrospective analysis of thoracic HRCT findings in 229 COVID-19 patients.
Participants were stratified into age groups: 18-30, 31-45, 46-60, and >60 years.
Two radiologists evaluated HRCT scans and calculated CT severity scores.
83% of patients showed ground-glass opacity and consolidation.
Higher CT severity scores were positively correlated with older age groups and male gender.
More severe lung infection was significant in patients above 60 years.

Bhatt et al. (2026) studied this question.
