Highlights Computed tomography revealed fibrotic-like lung changes in 10.9% of patients. Higher computed tomography scores were associated with a reduced DLCO (median computed tomography score, 6 versus 3; p=0.016). Fibrotic-like computed tomography changes were more prevalent in patients with DLCO impairment (p<0.001). Reduced DLCO had sensitivity and specificity of 73% and 88%, respectively, for predicting fibrotic-like computed tomography changes. ABSTRACT Objective: The radiological and functional lung sequelae in COVID-19 survivors remain unclear. We compared the chest computed tomography findings of […]
