Here is the introduction:

Hence, we retrospectively analyzed EAT from CT scans of patients who were admitted for COVID‐19. We collected data from 41 patients with laboratory‐confirmed COVID‐19 infection who were admitted at the Policlinico San Donato, San Donato Milanese, Milan, University of Milan, Italy, between April 1 and April 9, 2020. A confirmed case of COVID‐19 was defined by a positive result on a reverse transcriptase‐polymerase chain reaction assay of a specimen collected on a nasopharyngeal swab. Chest CT scan was performed on admission day 1 in patients with suspected or confirmed COVID‐19 infection to evaluate the presence of pulmonary embolism. EAT measurement was retrospectively obtained from each CT scan and analyzed according to the clinical and radiological criteria defining COVID‐19 severity. EAT and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) density was defined as mean attenuation expressed in Hounsfield units (HU).
