Two hundred thirty-seven patients were eligible for the study; however 47 of them were excluded (30 patients did not undergo LUS at admission and 17 underwent LUS but incomplete reports made them not suitable for attribution of LUS scores). As shown, literature on LUS in COVID-19 patients is rapidly growing; however few studies evaluated the prognostic value of LUS in COVID-19 patients [[20]]. These data together with the known practical advantages of being repeatable and quickly performed at bedside (thus limiting infectious patient transportation) confirm the potentiality of LUS in aiding the clinician in the risk stratification of the patient with COVID-19 pneumonia.
