ABSTRACT
Objective: To evaluate the pulmonary severity of COVID-19 patients throug the SOFA score computed with pulmonary involvement in Chest Computed Tomography. Method: This is a descriptive epidemiological study conducted out in an Intensive Care Unit, which aimed to study the pulmonary treatment of COVID-19 patients through the calculation of the pulmonary SOFA score relating to Chest Tomography and whether these were related to clinical treatment. Results: The study population consisted of 704 patients, of which 43.7% were women and 56.2% men, with a mean age of 61 years and a mean hospitalization time of 13 days. Most patients had a pulmonary behavior of 75%, a pulmonary SOFA score of 2 and a PaO2/FiO2 ratio between 100 and 200. Conclusion: Patients who had more extensive pulmonary involvement/consequently had a lower PaO2/FiO2 ratio and remained longer hospitalized with a higher incidence of death © COPYRIGHT Servicio de Publicaciones - Universidad de Murcia
