Measure: Olfactory and gustatory loss Time: Six monthsThe initial symptoms described in the first cases of COVID-19 were mainly fever and respiratory signs. Recently, there has been an increase in cases of hyposmia without associated nasal obstruction or rhinorrhea. Although we do not yet know the long-term consequences of COVID-19 on olfaction, there is evidence in the literature demonstrating that post-viral hyposmias are an important source of long-term olfactory disorders, impacting quality of life. Usually, the treatment of viral hyposmias is based on local and/or general corticosteroid treatment combined with saline nasal irrigation at the onset of signs. Because of the possible development of severe forms of the SARS-Cov-2 infection, the French Society of Otorhinolaryngology has advised against treatment by corticosteroid therapy and nasal irrigation. However, as the virus is present in the nasal fossae on average for 20 days, persistent hyposmia at 30 days would probably result from an inflammatory or neurological damage to the nasal slits or olfactory bulb. Local treatment with corticosteroids could then be instituted from 30 days after the onset of symptoms of COVID-19 without risk of dissemination. In persistent hyposmia other than chronic rhinosinusitis, the only treatment that has proven its efficacy is nasal irrigation associated with budesonide and olfactory rehabilitation. However, this drug does not have marketing authorisation in France for this indication.

Measure: Patient with more than 2 points on the ODORATEST Time: 30 daysThe study will be a randomized controlled trial, involving patients with hyposmia/anosmia of onset immediately after an upper respiratory viral illness, assigned to three distinct study arms. Nasal irrigations will be prescribed to all three groups (BID). In addition, one arm will receive a paper hand-out about post-viral anosmia with instructions to smell common household items (current care) and act as a control group. The second group will receive an essential oil retraining kit, whereas the third group will receive the same olfactory training kit and a prescription to use budesonide with the nasal irrigations. Olfactory scores will be tested at the enrollment, 3 months and at 6 months.

This study consists of two phases: the first phase is a cross-sectional study and the second phase is a case-control study. The case-control study is described here (the cross-sectional study is described in a separate ClinicalTrials.gov record).
Description: In the patient-reported online questionnaire, subjects will be asked regarding whether they experienced symptoms of olfactory and/or taste disturbances
Measure: Presence or absence of olfactory and taste disturbances in study participants Time: 2 weeks prior to answering questionnaire/ prior to diagnosis of COVID-19 infectionDescription: The relationship between case & control status and each exposure variable will be estimated by odds ratios and their 95% confidence intervals using conditional logistic regression models.
Measure: Adjusted odds ratio of olfactory & taste disturbances in COVID-19 infection Time: 2 weeks prior to answering questionnaire/ prior to diagnosis of COVID-19 infectionDescription: In the patient-reported online questionnaire, subjects will be asked regarding other symptoms they experienced when they were diagnosed with COVID-19/within the past 2 weeks of answering the questionnaire (e.g. headache, nasal congestion, fever, chills, cough, dyspnoea, gastrointestinal symptoms, eye & ear symptoms)
Measure: Clinical manifestations of study participants Time: 2 weeks prior to answering questionnaire/ prior to diagnosis of COVID-19 infectionDescription: In the patient-reported online questionnaire, subjects will be asked regarding their pre-existing health conditions (for example, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, cardiac conditions, previous head trauma, chronic rhinosinusitis, etc.)
Measure: Other pre-existing health conditions Time: BaselineDescription: PPV reflects the probability that the presence of olfactory and taste disturbances will have a positive diagnosis of COVID-19. This is derived from dividing the number of patients with olfactory & taste disturbances with COVID-19 infection over the total number of patients with olfactory and taste disturbances, and multiplying by 100%
Measure: Positive predictive value (PPV) of olfactory and taste disturbances in predicting diagnosis of COVID-19 infection Time: BaselineDescription: NPV reflects the probability that the absence of olfactory and taste disturbances will have a negative diagnosis of COVID-19. This is derived from dividing the number of patients without olfactory & taste disturbances and without COVID-19 infection over the total number of patients with no olfactory and taste disturbances, and multiplying by 100%
Measure: Negative predictive value (NPV) of olfactory and taste disturbances in predicting absence of COVID-19 infection Time: BaselineDescription: The percentage of true positives, i.e. the proportion of patients with olfactory and taste disorders with COVID-19 infection. This can be calculated by dividing the number of subjects with olfactory & taste disturbances who have COVID-19 infection with the number of patients with olfactory & taste disturbances, and multiplying by 100%
Measure: Sensitivity of olfactory and taste disturbances in predicting COVID-19 infection Time: BaselineDescription: The percentage of true negatives, i.e. the proportion of patients without olfactory and taste disorders who do not have COVID-19 infection. This can be calculated by dividing the number of subjects without olfactory & taste disturbances who do not have COVID-19 infection with the number of patients without olfactory & taste disturbances, and multiplying by 100%
Measure: Specificity of olfactory and taste disturbances in predicting COVID-19 infection Time: BaselineCOVID-19 has adversely affected the healthcare system across the world. The world was not prepared for global outbreak of infectious diseases. The rapid spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is enabling researchers worldwide to acquire a large amount of clinical data regarding coronavirus disease (COVID-19). The COVID-19 infection severely affects the respiratory system in the critical cases and results in mortalities. The affected people experience a dry cough, fever, breathing problems, diarrhea, muscle pain, and sore throat. Besides that, some of the evidence from Italy, South Korea, China, and Spain suggest that the COVID-19 cases also lose their senses of smell and taste resulting in alterations in those patients. The objective of this proposed study is to determine whether COVID-19 cases have Olfactory and gustatory dysfunctions as a hallmark indicator and can be used as diagnostic tools for the isolation of suspected people. Investigators are presenting a prospective proportional case-control study that is conducted to investigate the COVID-19 cases with anosmia and /or Ageusia in a university hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The sample size of this case series would be 250 cases of suspected COVID-19 patients. The cases included in the study are analyzed prospectively to determine if the cases had a history of anosmia and /or Ageusia, and then tested for the alteration of these senses through a panel of standardized odors/taste strips. That is looked at statistically allowing us to confirm the proposed effectiveness of these tests as a diagnostic tool.
