Clinical and CT image features for survival prediction in severe pneumonia during the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron wave

This study identifies a distinct combination of clinical and CT imaging features (pleural effusion, cardiac enlargement, low SpO2, elevated SAA, elevated GLU, low Ca) as key independent prognostic factors for survival in severe Omicron pneumonia. The predictive tool based on this feature combination shows significant clinical utility. These preliminary findings provide critical insights for early risk assessment and targeted management, facilitating improved patient prognosis.
