  abstract = {{B}ackground {L}ow-dose chest {CT} ({LDCT}) showed high sensitivity and ability to quantify lung involvement of {COVID}-19 pneumopathy. {T}he aim of this study was to describe the prevalence and risk factors for lung involvement in 247 patients with a visual score and assess the prevalence of incidental findings. {M}ethods {F}or 12 days in {M}arch 2020, 250 patients with {RT}-{PCR} positive tests and who underwent {LDCT} were prospectively included. {C}linical and imaging findings were recorded. {T}he extent of lung involvement was quantified using a score ranging from 0 to 40. {A} logistic regression model was used to explore factors associated with a score >= 10. {R}esults {A} total of 247 patients were analyzed; 138 (54%) showed lung involvement. {T}he mean score was 4.5 +/- 6.5, and the mean score for patients with lung involvement was 8.1 +/- 6.8 [1-31]. {T}he mean age was 43 +/- 15 years, with 121 males (48%) and 17 asymptomatic patients (7%). {M}ultivariate analysis showed that age > 54 years (odds ratio 4.4[2.0-9.6] p < 0.001) and diabetes (4.7[1.0-22.1] p = 0.049) were risk factors for a score >= 10. {M}ultivariate analysis including symptoms showed that only age > 54 years (4.1[1.7-10.0] p = 0.002) was a risk factor for a score >= 10. {R}hinitis (0.3[0.1-0.7] p = 0.005) and anosmia (0.3[0.1-0.9] p = 0.043) were protective against lung involvement. {I}ncidental imaging findings were found in 19% of patients, with a need for follow-up in 0.6%. {C}onclusion {T}he prevalence of lung involvement was 54% in a predominantly paucisymptomatic population. {A}ge >= 55 years and diabetes were risk factors for significant parenchymal lung involvement. {R}hinitis and anosmia were protective against {LDCT} abnormalities.},
