Prospective cohort study
Medical records
273
273 diagnosed COVID-19 patients with mild category in Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center were included in this analysis.
The average age of 273 COVID-19 patients enrolled with imaging progression were older than those without imaging progression (p = 0.006). The optimal cutoff of age for predicting imaging progression on chest CT was 51 years.

71 COVID-19 patients suffered from imaging progression on chest CT at first week after admission, and the other 202 patients were imaging progression-free on chest CT.
