In our study, LUS alone provided a valuable contribution to the corona score and improved its performance more than when CXR results were included. These results suggest that resource-limited areas where CXRs may be unavailable or prohibitively expensive can utilize an ultrasound as the sole imaging modality without a loss of diagnostic performance for SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia diagnosis.
