However, little is known about its potential for lung recovery. Lung ultrasound has shown characteristic changes during COVID\u201019 and has proven to be useful for triage, diagnosis, and therapy. This study investigated how the recovery process from COVID\u201019 respiratory disease can be monitored using 12\u2010zone lung ultrasound.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This prospective observational cohort study was conducted in a busy urban emergency department in London, United Kingdom, over a 20\u2010week period between April and October 2020. We followed 24 patients recovering from COVID\u201019 with varying disease severity using 12\u2010zone lung ultrasound at 2\u2010week intervals and monitored the changes in the prevalence of lung abnormalities previously described in COVID\u201019 infection (irregular pleura, subpleural consolidation, B\u2010lines, and small localized effusions).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Lung ultrasound showed that the lung recovers significantly over 20\u2009weeks postdisease. Individual lung abnormalities also resolved at different rates. The entire rib space occupied by confluent B\u2010lines wane after the acute phase, whereas irregular pleura and subpleural consolidations resolved more gradually. Separate wide B\u2010lines moving with the pleura during respiration may represent more stable features, indicating residual fibrotic changes. Small, localized effusions appear transiently after the initial acute phase of the disease, peaking at approximately 10\u2009weeks after infection. The measured lung abnormalities were strong predictors of perceived shortness of breath during ambulation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Lung ultrasound can be a useful tool for long\u2010term monitoring of COVID\u201019 lung disease, avoiding repeated exposure to ionizing radiation, and may distinguish between acute and past infections.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/jum.15990","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,16]],"date-time":"2022-04-16T06:29:33Z","timestamp":1650090573000},"page":"147-159","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Evolution of Lung Abnormalities on Lung Ultrasound in Recovery From <scp>COVID<\/scp>\u201019 Disease\u2014A Prospective, Longitudinal Observational Cohort Study"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"42","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1024-4175","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Julia","family":"Burkert","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Chelsea and Westminster NHS Foundation Trust  London England"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Robert","family":"Jarman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Teesside University, School of Health &amp; Life Sciences  Middlesbrough England"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paramjeet","family":"Deol","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine Chelsea and Westminster NHS Foundation Trust  London England"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jum.15508"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejrad.2020.109344"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00134-020-06048-9"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00134\u2010020\u201005996\u20106"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2139\/ssrn.3544750"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.36266\/JPDRM\/120"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00134-020-06212-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2214\/AJR.20.23034"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejro.2020.100231"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000509223"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1148\/radiol.2020200843"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1148\/radiol.2020200370"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00134-012-2682-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1378\/chest.07-0617"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/aje\/kwaa004"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/bph.15207"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41586-020-2700-3"}],"container-title":["Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/jum.15990","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1002\/jum.15990","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/jum.15990","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,19]],"date-time":"2023-08-19T18:49:13Z","timestamp":1692470953000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/jum.15990"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,15]]},"references-count":17,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2023,1]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1002\/jum.15990"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/jum.15990","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0278-4297","1550-9613"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0278-4297","type":"print"},{"value":"1550-9613","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,15]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2021-12-11","order":0,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2022-03-28","order":1,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2022-04-15","order":2,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
