Biomarkers extracted by fully automated body composition analysis from chest CT correlate with SARS-CoV-2 outcome severity

Abstract The complex process of manual biomarker extraction from body composition analysis (BCA) has far restricted the analysis of SARS-CoV-2 outcomes to small patient cohorts and a limited number of tissue types. We investigate the association of two BCA-based biomarkers with the development of se...
