Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Background: Given the high prevalence of fibrotic interstitial lung abnormalities (ILAs) post-COVID-19, this study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of quantitative CT features in predicting fibrotic ILAs at 3-month follow-up. Methods: This retrospective study utilized cohorts from distinct clinical settings: the training dataset comprised individuals presenting at the fever clinic and emergency department, while the validation dataset included patients hospitalized with COVID-19 pneumonia. They were classified into fibrotic group and nonfibrotic group based on whether the fibrotic ILAs were present at follow-up. A U-Net-based AI tool was used for quantification of both pneumonia lesions and pulmonary blood volumes. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and multivariate analysis were used to assess their predictive abilities for fibrotic ILAs. Results: Among the training dataset, 122 patients (mean age of 68 years ±16 [standard deviation], 73 men), 55.74% showed fibrotic ILAs at 3-month follow-up. The multivariate analysis identified the pneumonia volume [PV, odd ratio (OR) 3.28, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.20–9.31, p = 0.02], consolidation volume (CV, OR 3.77, 95% CI: 1.37–10.75, p = 0.01), ground-glass opacity volume (GV, OR 3.38, 95% CI: 1.26–9.38, p = 0.02), pneumonia mass (PM, OR 3.58, 95% CI: 1.28–10.46, p = 0.02), and the CT score (OR 12.06, 95% CI: 3.15–58.89, p < 0.001) as independent predictors of fibrotic ILAs, and all quantitative parameters were as effective as CT score (all p > 0.05). And the area under the curve (AUC) values were PV (0.79), GV (0.78), PM (0.79), CV (0.80), and the CT score (0.77). The validation dataset, comprising 45 patients (mean age 67.29 ± 14.29 years, 25 males) with 57.78% showing fibrotic ILAs at follow-up, confirmed the predictive validity of these parameters with AUC values for PV (0.86), CV (0.90), GV (0.83), PM (0.88), and the CT score (0.85). Additionally, the percentage of blood volume in vessels <5mm relative to the total pulmonary blood volume (BV5%) was significantly lower in patients with fibrotic ILAs (p = 0.048) compared to those without. Conclusion: U-Net based quantification of pneumonia lesion and BV5% on baseline CT scan has the potential to predict fibrotic ILAs at follow-up in COVID-19 patients.
