Normally aerated lung proportion (NALP) (HR, 0.872 per percentage; 95% CI, 0.794–0.957; p = 0.004) and NALP volume (NALPV) (HR, 1.002 per mL; 95% CI, 1.000–1.004; p = 0.019) were associated with a lower risk of critical events in the severe pneumonia group (n = 28). CONCLUSION: CRP in the mild pneumonia group; NALP and NALPV in the severe pneumonia group; and sex, CRP, and CALP in the total cohort were independently associated with CEFS in patients with COVID-19. Recent studies reported the use of well-aerated lung volume in patients with ARDS (14) and COVID-19 as a potential imaging biomarker to predict mortality (15) . The main result of our study was that the male sex, high CALP on volumetric quantitative analysis, and high CRP level were independently associated with poor prognosis in patients with COVID-19.	./cache/cord-305539-vynlbty5.txt	./txt/cord-305539-vynlbty5.txt
