Moreover, the level of right-over-left preference of lung injury was significantly correlated with the potential need for intensive care and inpatient mortality. Pulmonary lesions were imaged by a total of 253 high resolution computed tomographic (CT) chest scans of 103 COVID-19 patients at Wuhan Red Cross Hospital. As a result, 70% (31/103) CT scans showed that the lesion volume of the right lung was larger than that of the left lung. The results suggested that patients with large lesions on the right lung be at a high mortality risk during hospitalization (OR = 2.662, P value = 0.0252 (Fig. 2c, d) . ./cache/cord-331395-12bff84n.txt ./txt/cord-331395-12bff84n.txt
