The study involved 165 COVID-19 patients (131 men [79.4%] and 34 women [20.6%] with a mean age of 61.5 ± 12.5 years), of whom 30 (18.2%) had severe/critical disease and 135 (81.8%) mild/typical disease. [24, 25] Like those of a number of recent studies, the findings of this study show that CT evidence of consolidation, a crazy-paving pattern, reticular opacity, interlobular septal thickening, air bronchogram, and extra-pulmonary lesions are imaging features of severe/critical COVID-19 pneumonia, [26] [27] [28] and their number and frequency make the total whole-lung severity score significantly higher in severe/critical cases.	./cache/cord-331765-pk0fr0a1.txt	./txt/cord-331765-pk0fr0a1.txt
