The volume ratio of ground glass opacity in early lung CT predicts mortality in acute paraquat poisoning.

The volume ratio of ground glass opacity in early lung CT predicts mortality in acute paraquat poisoning.

<h4>Background</h4>Pulmonary injury is the main cause of death in acute paraquat (PQ) poisoning. However, whether quantitative lung computed tomography (CT) can be useful in predicting the outcome of PQ poisoning remains unknown. We aimed to identify early findings of quantitative lung C...
