背景：尚未建立评估COVID-19幸存者的标准化方法，主要原因是缺乏关于中长期后遗症的数据。社区获得性肺炎后建议进行间隔胸片检查；然而，它在监测COVID-19肺炎恢复情况方面的效用尚不清楚。方法：这是一项前瞻性单中心观察队列研究。重症COVID-19肺炎住院患者（入院时间>= 48 h，需氧量>= 40%或重症监护入院）于出院后4-6周进行面对面评估。主要终点是COVID-19肺炎的放射学消退（影像学评估肺水肿评分）
Background: A standardised approach to assessing COVID-19 survivors has not been established, largely due to the paucity of data on medium- and long-term sequelae. Interval chest radiography is recommended following community-acquired pneumonia; however, its utility in monitoring recovery from COVID-19 pneumonia remains unclear.Methods: This was a prospective single-centre observational cohort study. Patients hospitalised with severe COVID-19 pneumonia (admission duration >= 48 h and oxygen requirement >= 40% or critical care admission) underwent face-to-face assessment at 4-6 weeks post-discharge. The primary outcome was radiological resolution of COVID-19 pneumonitis (Radiographic Assessment of Lung Oedema score
