LUS patterns for detecting COVID-19 have been suggested (4, 6) based on ultrasound (US) theory, case reports, and extrapolation from CT findings; however, diagnostic performance data in an observational analytical study are lacking (6) . Based on prior reports of LUS findings suggestive of COVID-19 lung disease (4-6), LUS images were coded by a blinded US fellowship-trained observer for the presence of nonconfluent and confluent B-lines (based on the same methodology used in the B-lines lung ultrasound-guided emergency department management of acute heart failure (BLUSHED-AHF) study above [7] ), subpleural consolidations, and pleural effusions.	./cache/cord-252784-wfsq0u9o.txt	./txt/cord-252784-wfsq0u9o.txt
