Chest CT features and risk factors for patients with Omicron variant pneumonia: a multicenter retrospective clinical study
Age ≥ 65 years, unvaccinated status, fever > 5 days, and lymphocyte count < 0.5×109/L can be used to identify high-risk individuals who warrant a CT scan to screen for COVID-19 pneumonia, especially during the period of Omicron variant predominance. Concurrently, the importance of immunization should be emphasized to help people withstand the effects of Omicron variant infection.
