The Linear Association of Chest Radiograph Opacification With Both Respiratory Physiology and Systemic Inflammation in Hospital In-Patients With Covid-19 Infection
Background
Chest radiographs are generally used for diagnostic purposes. They also have potential to quantify disease severity. This analysis tested the hypothesis that there was an association between chest radiograph opacification and measures of respiratory physiological status and systemic inflammation in patients with Covid-19 infection.
Methods
Data on chest radiograph opacification were compared with concurrent measures of oxygen requirements and saturation and serum C-reactive protein.
Results
Data were available from 628 individuals. The median opacification on chest radiographs was 20% (interquartile range 5–45). This was associated both SFR (oxygen saturation/supplementary oxygen) with an r value of −0.38 (95% confidence intervals CI: −0.45 to −31, Pearson's correlation coefficient) and CRP (+0.33; 95% CI: +0.24 to +0.41, Pearson's correlation coefficient).
Conclusion
Chest radiograph opacification scores are associated with both respiratory physiology status and systemic inflammation levels in patients with Covid-19 infection.

Overview
Effective with the 2016 volume, this journal will be published in an online-only format.
Aims and Scope
The Clinical Respiratory Journal (CRJ) provides a forum for clinical research in all areas of respiratory medicine from clinical lung disease to basic research relevant to the clinic.
We publish original research, review articles, case studies, editorials and book reviews in all areas of clinical lung disease including:
Asthma
Allergy
COPD
Non-invasive ventilation
Sleep related breathing disorders
Interstitial lung diseases
Lung cancer
Clinical genetics
Rhinitis
Airway and lung infection
Epidemiology
Pediatrics
CRJ provides a fast-track service for selected Phase II and Phase III trial studies.
