Fig. 2 — Chest X-ray (CXR) findings at the emergency department presentation in two patients with confirmed COVID-19 and opposite outcomes. a CXR shows bilateral, mostly peripheral, ground-glass opacities (GGOs) admixed with consolidation (consolidation-predominant) (arrowheads). Reviewer 1 assigned a Brixia score of 14 and a percentage of lung involvement of 60%. Reviewer 2 assigned a Brixia score of 15 and a percentage of lung involvement of 50%. This patient had a prolonged stay in the intensive care unit and died 11 days after presenting to the emergency department. b CXR shows bilateral GGOs, either pure (empty arrowheads) or admixed with consolidation (GGO-predominant) (solid arrowhead). Reviewer 1 assigned a Brixia score of 6 and a percentage of lung involvement of 30%. Reviewer 2 assigned a Brixia score of 5 and a percentage of lung involvement of 25%. This patient was discharged from the emergency department after a short-term observation with home care and isolation precautions and was alive at the end of the study period
