Abstract
MARTINELLI, Anna Laura et al. Evaluation of computed tomography and pulmonary SOFA score: relationship of findings in patients with covid-19 and mortality in ICU. Enferm. glob. [online]. 2023, vol.22, n.70, pp.139-161. Epub June 26, 2023. ISSN 1695-6141. https://dx.doi.org/10.6018/eglobal.541411.
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.
