Figures

Figure 1
Figure 1
A-B, The correlation between CT severity score with LUS (A) and LUSext (B). The Spearman correlation coefficient for subpopulations with significance level is noted. The figures contain curves fitted with 95% CIs to the respective subpopulation. A jitter effect was added to improve visualization of data and avoid direct overlap of multiple examinations. LUS = lung ultrasound score; LUSext = novel lung ultrasound protocol.
Figure 2
Figure 2
A-B, The correlation between LUS (A) and LUSext (B) with VFD at 90 d follow-up. The Spearman correlation coefficient for subpopulations with significance level is noted. The figures contain curves fitted with 95% CIs to the respective subpopulation. A jitter effect was added to improve visualization of data and avoid direct overlap of multiple examinations. LUS = lung ultrasound score; LUSext = novel lung ultrasound protocol; VFD = ventilator-free days.
