Table 1 Three main chest radiographic scoring systems use for coronavirus disease-2019 and their characteristic features
Chest Radiography Scoring Systems for COVID-19 | |||
Characteristics of Chest Radiography Scoring Systems | Severe Acute Respiratory Infection[48] | Radiographic Assessment of Lung Edema[49] | Chest X-ray Score[51] |
Division of Lungs | None | 2 lungs | 6 zones (3 zones each lung) |
Methodology of Score Calculation | Entire lungs scored as one | Each lung scored and totaled | Each zone scored and totaled |
Characteristics Scored | Various radiographic findings | 1GGOs or consolidation | Various radiographic findings |
Scoring Scale | 1 = normal; 2 = patchy/hyperinflation/bronchial wall thickening; 3 = focal consolidation; 4 = multifocal consolidation; 5 = diffuse alveolar change | 1 ≤ 25%; 2 = 25%-50%; 3 = 50%-75%; 4 ≥ 75% | 0 = no abnormalities; 1 = interstitial infiltrates; 2 = interstitial (predominant) & alveolar infiltrates; 3 = interstitial & alveolar (predominant) infiltrates |
Designed Specifically for COVID-19 Disease | No | No | Yes |
