Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:One of the limitations of this work is that a larger sample size could potentially have revealed correlations with other biomarkers. Furthermore, the examination was performed by a single operator, so that we cannot rule out inter-observer differences when sonographic scoring is performed by more than one person. In conclusion, there is a correlation between ferritin levels and the scores obtained by LUSS in hospitalised patients older than 70 years with SARS-CoV-2 infection. In this study, high scores correlated with high levels of the biomarker. In addition, the prognostic capacity of scanning 12 fields does not seem advantageous over 8 quadrants, which allows reducing the staff exposure time and thus the risk of contagion. Studies with a larger sample size are necessary to confirm these findings.
