Table 3.
Lung base findings on abdominal CT in 62 patients with COVID-19 in relation to outcomes (discharged vs hospitalised). Data between each patient group were compared using Fisher’s exact test. Values are given as numerical value with percentages (percent relative to total number in the respective patient group)
