Retrospective evaluation of the effects of pulmonary artery and aortic diameters on hospitalization duration and survival in patients hospitalized with COVID-19
Zarifa ABDULLAYEVA

TL;DR
This study found that larger pulmonary artery and aortic diameters in CT scans of hospitalized COVID-19 patients were linked to higher mortality risk and shorter hospital stays.
Contribution
The study identifies vascular diameters as potential prognostic indicators for mortality in COVID-19 patients.
Findings
Non-survivors had significantly larger right and left pulmonary artery diameters compared to survivors.
Hospitalization duration was shorter for non-survivors compared to survivors.
Larger ascending aortic diameters were also associated with higher mortality risk.
Abstract
ABSTRACT Retrospective evaluation of the effects of pulmonary artery and aortic diameters on hospitalization duration and survival in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 Introduction: This study explores the impact of vascular diameters on mortality risk in Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) patients. COVID-19, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), presents diverse clinical manifestations and is associated with thrombosis. Materials and Methods: In this study, we retrospectively examined the data of patients who were hospitalized and treated in our hospital between September 1, 2020, and November 30, 2020, and whose COVID-19 diagnosis was confirmed by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The diameters of the ascending aorta, main pulmonary artery, and right and left pulmonary arteries were measured from the chest computed…
