dc.description.abstract | Lung ultrasound (LUS) allows for the detection of a series of manifestations of COVID-19,
such as B-lines and consolidations. The objective of this work was to study the inter-rater reliability
(IRR) when detecting signs associated with COVID-19 in the LUS, as well as the performance of the
test in a longitudinal or transverse orientation. Thirty-three physicians with advanced experience in
LUS independently evaluated ultrasound videos previously acquired using the ULTRACOV system
on 20 patients with confirmed COVID-19. For each patient, 24 videos of 3 s were acquired (using
12 positions with the probe in longitudinal and transverse orientations). The physicians had no
information about the patients or other previous evaluations. The score assigned to each acquisition
followed the convention applied in previous studies. A substantial IRR was found in the cases of
normal LUS ( = 0.74), with only a fair IRR for the presence of individual B-lines ( = 0.36) and for
confluent B-lines occupying < 50% ( = 0.26) and a moderate IRR in consolidations and B-lines > 50%
( = 0.50). No statistically significant differences between the longitudinal and transverse scans were
found. The IRR for LUS of COVID-19 patients may benefit from more standardized clinical protocols. | es |
