1 FORECAST Study: Finding Out if COVID-19 Infection Can be pREdicted by ChAnges in Smell and/or Taste

The FORECAST Study is an observational cohort study looking at two cohorts of patients presenting with COVID-19: a general public cohort, aiming to investigate if new loss or reduced sense of smell and/or taste are early signs of COVID-19 and a hospital cohort, which will investigate if taste/smell changes can predict the clinical course of a COVID-19 infection.

NCT04377815 COVID-19 Anosmia Other: General Public cohort
MeSH:Olfaction Disorders
HPO:Anosmia

Primary Outcomes

Description: percentage of people who report loss/reduced sense of smell or taste

Measure: Percentage of people reporting changes in smell/taste

Time: 4 weeks

Description: to compare the case mortality rate in COVID-19 patients who experienced smell/taste changes compared to mortality in those who did not experience smell/taste changes.

Measure: mortality rate

Time: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Secondary Outcomes

Description: To identify the percentage of people who report changes in taste and/or smell before developing either fever or persistent cough who are positive for SARS-CoV-2 IgM and IgG

Measure: Percentage of people with change in smell/taste before other symptoms

Time: 4 weeks

Description: To examine the proportion of other COVID-19 linked symptoms in people with smell and/or taste change who are positive positive for SARS-CoV-2 IgM and IgG who never develop fever and/or cough.

Measure: proportion of other COVID-19 linked symptoms in people with smell and/or taste change

Time: 4 weeks

Description: To determine the percentage of people whose smell and/or taste symptoms persist for greater than 4 weeks in people who are positive for SARS-CoV-2 IgM and IgG

Measure: Percentage of people with persistent changes in smell and/or taste

Time: 12 weeks

Description: To determine the percentage of patients who report loss/decrease in sense of smell and/or taste changes before or in the absence of other symptoms of COVID-19, who are admitted to hospital with COVID-19

Measure: Percentage of hospitalisation

Time: 12 weeks

Description: To investigate whether loss/reduced sense of smell and/or taste are associated with the course of illness and outcomes in COVID-19

Measure: co-morbidities association

Time: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Description: Assessing the prevalence of previous loss/decrease in sense of smell and/or taste changes in patients admitted to secondary care with COVID-19 infection.

Measure: prevalence of changes in smell/taste

Time: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Description: Correlating the presence of loss/decrease in sense of smell and/or taste changes to clinical outcomes including case fatality rate.

Measure: clinical outcomes

Time: through study completion, an average of 1 year
