Treatment of patients with new coronary pneumonia. In clinical practice, combined with the changes in chest CT imaging of severe COVID-19 patients, it has been found that some laboratory indicators of severe patients can effectively judge the clinical prognosis and outcome of patients, but there is no relevant retrospective study with large sample size so far.~In April 16, 2020, the investigators submitted the research project, comparative analysis of clinical parameters and radiographic changes of severe COVID-19, to human subject research ethics committee of Second Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University. The research process began after the committee for approval in May 2020.~In this study, by comparing the changes in chest CT imaging of patients with severe COVID-19, the investigators analyzed the effects of some clinical indicators on the prognosis and outcome of patients.
