What to Look for in Chest X‐Rays of Pediatric Patients With COVID‐19: Insights From a Colombian Cohort
In pediatric patients with SARS-CoV-2, radiological findings are nonspecific and interobserver agreement is minimal. Although consolidation and alveolar opacities demonstrated greater concordance, they did not appear to reflect the clinical presentation; therefore, our results can suggest chest radiography is not considered useful for determining the severity of COVID-19 in children. There is a need for more investigations.
