There is one clinical trial.
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.
Description: percentage of people who report loss/reduced sense of smell or taste
Measure: Percentage of people reporting changes in smell/taste Time: 4 weeksDescription: 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 yearDescription: 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 weeksDescription: 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 weeksDescription: 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 weeksDescription: 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 weeksDescription: 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 yearDescription: 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 yearDescription: 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
