The Chest X-Ray scoring system in this study was developed based on review of the literature and the experience of radiologists. ** Each chest x-ray was graded for perihilar markings, hyperinflation, atelectasis or focal opacities, and general opacities,** and each of these categories was graded on a 0 to 3 point scale with 0 being normal and 3 being markedly abnormal.
