Factors associated with fibrotic-like pattern on thorax CT after COVID-19 pneumonia
Residual abnormalities resembling fibrosis were notably prevalent, particularly among severely ill patients, and impaired lung diffusion persisted in some individuals even six months post-discharge. Post-COVID-19 lung sequelae can persist and progress after hospital discharge, suggesting airways involvement and formation of new fibrotic-like lesions, mainly in patients who had been in the ICU and had smoking history.
