Patients with incomplete information about the presence of underlying comorbidities and immunosuppressive therapies were excluded from the study. For each included patient, only the CXR report with the highest score was considered for analysis. Each frontal chest projection linked to these reports was independently reviewed by a thoracic radiologist (A.B.), with 15 years’ experience of thoracic imaging, who reassigned the Brixia score. All chest X-rays were performed using portable digital radiography systems.
