Figure 5:

Examples of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 who did (i.e. required intubation and or died) and did not develop critical illness (i.e. did not need intubation and were discharged). A, Radiograph in an 80-year-old woman with 7 days of symptoms prior to emergency ward presentation. She had hypertension and chronic obstructive lung disease as comorbidity. Laboratory findings were as follows: neutrophil granulocytes 6.4x109/L, C-reactive protein 282 mg/L, lactate dehydrogenase 335 IU/L. On chest radiography she exhibited diffuse bilateral opacities and a chest radiography score of 4. The calculated risk score was 0.69. She developed critical illness and died 4 days after hospital admission. B, Radiograph in a 46-year-old woman with no comorbidities had 9 days of symptoms prior to emergency ward presentation. Laboratory findings were as follows: neutrophil granulocytes 3.8x109/L, C-reactive protein 29 mg/L, lactate dehydrogenase 429 IU/L. Chest radiography showed bilateral peripheral opacities and a chest radiography score of 5. The calculated risk score was 0.24. She was not admitted to the ICU and successfully discharged after 2 days of hospitalization.
