Distribution of the Lung Ultrasound (LU) patterns among the 12 lung regions for the whole cohort (a), and patients with a favourable (b) or a complicated (c) outcome, at inclusion (left bar in each lung region) and D2 (right bar in each lung region). Lungs were divided in 12 regions: left and right antero-superior regions were numbered 1 and 7, respectively; antero-inferior regions 2 and 8; latero-superior regions 3 and 9; latero-inferior regions 4 and 10; postero-superior regions 5 and 11; and postero-inferior regions 6 and 12. The main LU pattern was large bilateral lung consolidations, predominantly distributed in dependent pulmonary areas (regions 4–6 for left lung and 10–12 for right lung). “N”: normal aeration; “B1”: moderate loss of aeration; “B2”: severe loss of aeration; “C”: lung consolidation
