Abstract

We read with interest the paper from Knight et al in Acute Medicine1 in particular the use of a lung ultrasound (LUS) score to predict outcome in patients with suspected COVID-19. LUS has been shown to be useful in the diagnosis and prognosis for COVID-19 by other authors. We have carried out a service evaluation project on our data from East Surrey Hospital looking into prognostic and diagnostic performance of LUS in suspected COVID-19. In contrast to the data used by Knight et al we had discharge diagnosis data available which allowed us to split the cohort into patients with COVID-19 and patients with other diagnoses and compare the LUS score between the two groups.

肺部超声对疑似新冠肺炎的诊断准确性和预后价值的回顾性服务评估。

我们饶有兴趣地阅读了Knight等人在《急性医学》1中的论文，特别是使用肺部超声（LUS）评分来预测疑似新冠肺炎患者的结果。其他作者已经证明LUS在新冠肺炎的诊断和预后中是有用的。我们对东萨里医院的数据进行了一项服务评估项目，研究LUS在疑似新冠肺炎中的预后和诊断表现。与Knight等人使用的数据相反，我们有出院诊断数据，这使我们能够将队列分为新冠肺炎患者和其他诊断患者，并比较两组患者的LUS评分。
