초록

목적 증상이 있는 123명의 coronavirus disease 2019 (이하 COVID-19) 환자에서 흉부 CT 병변의 소견과 일련의 변화를 분석하였다. 대상과 방법 2020년 2월 19일부터 4월 7일까지 총 123명의 COVID-19 환자(남성, 44명; 여성, 79명; 평균 연령 59.2 ± 18.6)를 후향적으로 연구하였다. 총 234개의 CT 스캔을 검토하여 패턴[급성 폐포 손상(acute alveolar insult) 패턴: 간유리음영, 돌조각보도모양, 혼합된 패턴, 또는 폐경화; 기질화 폐렴(organizing pneumonia) 패턴: 소엽주위 패턴, 띠 음영, 곡선형 음영, 역달무리 음영, 또는 소결절경화; 호전형 패턴: 순수 간유리음영, 잔존 곡선형 음영, 또는 소결절경화]과 폐 이상의 연속적인 변화를 분석하였다. 피어슨 카이 제곱 검정과 피셔의 정확 검정을 사용하여 시간 경과에 따른 급성 폐포 손상 패턴, 기질화 폐렴 패턴, 호전형 패턴의 비율을 비교하고, 패턴과 질병 심각도 간의 연관성을 분석하였다. 결과 초기 입원군(증상 발병 후 0~10일)의 CT 패턴은 급성 폐포 손상 패턴(87%) 이 가장 많았고, 후기 입원군(10일 이상)에서는 기질화 폐렴 패턴(45.7%), 퇴원군(퇴원 시 및 퇴원 후)에서는 호전형 패턴(47.2%; 84.8%)이 가장 많았다. 시간 경과에 따른 우세한 CT 패턴에 대한 비율의 차이는 통계적으로 유의하였다(p < 0.001, 피어슨 카이 제곱 검정). 패턴과 질병 중증도 간에 통계적으로 유의한 연관성은 발견되지 않았다(p = 0.055, 피셔의 정확 검정). 후속 CT 스캔에서 병변의 섬유화는 관찰되지 않았다. 결론 COVID-19 환자의 연속적 CT 스캔은 COVID 폐렴의 폐 손상 및 복구의 단계로서 다양한 CT 영상 소견을 보여주었다.

Purpose To analyze the findings and serial changes in chest CT lesions in 123 symptomatic patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Materials and Methods From February 19 to April 7, 2020, a total of 123 confirmed COVID-19 patients (male, 44; female, 79; mean age, 59.2 ± 18.6) were enrolled in this retrospective study. A total of 234 CT scans were reviewed for the following patterns: acute alveolar insult (AAI) patterns: ground-glass opacity (GGO), crazy-paving appearance, mixed pattern, and consolidation; organizing pneumonia (OP) patterns: perilobular patterns, band opacity, curvilinear opacity, reversed halo opacity, and small nodular consolidation; resolving patterns: pure GGO, remnant curvilinear, small nodular consolidation, and serial changes of lung abnormalities. We compared the proportions of AAI pattern, OP pattern, or resolving pattern with time progression and analyzed the association between the patterns and disease severity using Pearson chi-square and Fisher's exact test. Results Predominant CT patterns were AAI pattern (87%) in the early hospital period group (0-10 days, after the onset of symptoms), OP pattern (45.7%) in the later hospital period group (after 10 days), and resolving pattern in discharge and follow-up group (47.2% and 84.8%, respectively). The difference in the proportions of predominant CT patterns with time progression was statistically significant (p < 0.001, Pearson's chi-square test). No statistically significant association was observed between the patterns and disease severity (p = 0.055, Fisher's exact test). No fibrous changes in the lesions were observed on follow-up CT scans. Conclusion The serial CT scans of COVID-19 patients showed the spectrum of COVID pneumonia CT manifestations as different phases of lung injury and repair.
