Chest x-ray findings and temporal lung changes in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia	2020-09-15		.txt	text/plain	4090	245	61	Information on chest x-ray findings in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia is still limited in the literature and the majority of the reports described the lung changes on chest CT scan. This study aimed to report the chest x-ray findings in 88 patients with confirmed COVID-19 and to describe the temporal changes of the chest radiological findings throughout the disease course. The most common chest x-ray finding in our patients was GGO in a peripheral distribution with bilateral lung involvement, there was a lower lobe predilection of the opacities, with the right lower lobe more common than the left lower lobe (70% vs. Also, in our study the presence of symptoms correlated significantly with abnormal chest x-ray findings suggesting that chest x-ray may be helpful as an aiding tool in the diagnosis and follow up in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. The total severity score decreased over time as the chest x-ray findings regressed at days 10-15 from onset of symptoms (n = 9)	./cache/cord-309983-lpawbk7s.txt	./txt/cord-309983-lpawbk7s.txt
