“…Objectives To reliably quantify the radiographic severity of COVID-19 pneumonia with the Radiographic Assessment of Lung Edema (RALE) score on clinical chest X-rays among inpatients and examine the prognostic value of baseline RALE scores on COVID-19 clinical outcomes.Setting Hospitalised patients with COVID-19 in dedicated wards and intensive care units from two different hospital systems.Participants 425 patients with COVID-19 in a discovery data set and 415 patients in a validation data set.Primary and secondary outcomes We measured inter-rater reliability for RALE score annotations by different reviewers and examined for associations of consensus RALE scores with the level of respiratory support, demographics, physiologic variables, applied therapies, plasma host–response biomarkers, SARS-CoV-2 RNA load and clinical outcomes.Results Inter-rater agreement for RALE scores improved from fair to excellent following reviewer training and feedback (intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.85 vs 0.93, respectively). …”
