Lung disease severity, Coronary Artery Calcium, Coronary inflammation and Mortality in Coronavirus Disease 2019.	2020-05-06		.txt	text/plain	4054	199	45	OBJECTIVE To determine the association of the extent of lung disease or coronary artery chest computed tomography (HRCT) variables, the Agatston coronary calcium score (CCS) and peri-coronary adipose tissue attenuation (PCAT), representing CAD and coronary inflammation, with mortality in patients with COVID-19. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Increased age, D-dimer, C-reactive protein and the HRCT image features of extent of lung disease and coronary inflammation by PCAT (but not the CCS) were independently associated with mortality in hospitalized COVID-19 patients. While the current study confirms prior data that increased age, D-dimer and C-reactive protein are associated with in-hospital mortality in COVID-19, we also report that the simple extent of lung disease and the novel PCAT parameter of coronary artery inflammation in HRCT scans are also independently associated with mortality.	./cache/cord-347895-z9a54f6g.txt	./txt/cord-347895-z9a54f6g.txt
