Radiological Outcomes in Recovered COVID-19 Pneumonia Cases at 1-year Follow-up: The “Post-COVID-19 Lung Study” in Dedicated COVID-19 Care Setting in India

Radiological lung abnormalities (RLAs) are new radiological classification of post-COVID-19 lung sequelae and are categorized as resolving, persistent, and progressive. Final outcomes phenotypic classification showed an important role in further workup and treatment plannings of these RLAs during follow-up. Importantly, the proportionate number of progressive phenotypes has underlying rheumatological predisposition, and the large number of cases in resolving phenotypes doesn't need any treatment; whereas few cases in the persistent category need protocolized follow-up.
