The timely and accurate evaluation of lung lesions is very important in the treatment of patients with COVID-19, and chest computed tomography (CT) is considered the 'gold-standard' imaging technique (9) . In this study, by analyzing ultrasonic data in 128 cases, we aimed to summarize the findings of LUS and to explore the value of semiquantitative LUS scores in the evaluation and follow-up of critically ill patients with COVID-19. We used an LUS score for the first time, to our knowledge, to evaluate and follow-up pneumonia in critically ill patients with COVID-19. Our study showed that semiquantitative LUS scores were highly correlated with chest CT scores and could be effectively used to evaluate the lung lesions of patients with severe pneumonia.	./cache/cord-338005-kbkvk94k.txt	./txt/cord-338005-kbkvk94k.txt
