Measure: Severity of infection according to hospitalization rate Time: End of study (six months)Description: Custom-designed questionnaire (28 questions pertaining to symptoms, sense of smell and taste)
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.
Description: Percentage of patients with an improvement of more than 2 points on the ODORATEST score (5) after 30 days of treatment
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.

Measure: clinical outcomes Time: through study completion, an average of 1 yearThe Malaysian COVID-19 Anosmia Study is a nationwide multicentre observational study to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of olfactory and gustatory/taste disturbances in COVID-19 infection in Malaysia, and to evaluate the predictive value of screening for these symptoms in COVID-19 infection. 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.

Measure: Rating of sense of smell & taste in COVID-19 patients at time of answering questionnaire survey Time: Up to 6 monthsThis randomized clinical trial will evaluate the benefit of platelet-rich plasma (PrP) in the treatment of olfactory dysfunction. PrP can be isolated from a patient's own blood and has been found in previous studies to have anti-inflammatory and pro-regenerative properties. It has been used across multiple specialties, such as Orthopedics, Facial Plastics, Dermatology, Neurology in injected form to treat a wide variety of tissues to encourage the body's inherent regenerative capacity. We have completed a pilot study here evaluating it's use in olfactory loss which demonstrated safety and also suggested efficacy. Therefore, we aim to assess the ability of PrP to improve olfactory function in patients with decreased sense of smell.

Measure: executive control network analysis of all patients Time: Month 3As the COVID-19 pandemic spread around the world, anosmia and dysgeusia were quickly recognized as two of the key presenting symptoms. The probability of return of smell is related to severity of smell loss at presentation, but it appears that the loss of sense of smell and taste seems to persist in approximately 10% of the affected patients after 6 months. As a result of COVID-19, it is estimated that within the next 12 months > 150,000 Americans will suffer permanent loss of smell. The magnitude of this impairment on the health, safety, and quality of life is truly unprecedented and makes post-COVID olfactory disorder a major public health problem. Thus, there is a pressing need to identify effective treatments. The research questions are to determine the effects of steroid nasal saline lavage and olfactory training among adults with post-COVID olfactory dysfunction and identify confounders and modifiers of any observed effects. To answer the research question, the investigators propose a 2 x 2 factorial design blinded randomized clinical trial whereby 220 subjects with documented COVID-19 with anosmia/hyposmia of 12 weeks duration or longer from Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana will be recruited electronically from COVID patient advocacy sites, social media sites, and other internet sources. Enrolled subjects will be randomized to nasal saline lavage with topical budesonide or placebo to address the presumed role of inflammation in the olfactory cleft and each subject will also be randomized to olfactory training with patient-specific, high- or low-concentration essential oil scent to assess the role of olfactory training. Data will be analyzed in a blinded fashion to allow estimation of observed effect size for both anti-inflammatory and olfactory training. This innovative study will exploit the unique opportunities presented by COVID-19. The study will use a high-tech virtual "contactless" research strategy, including eConsent and digital mHealth techniques to obtain rapid answers to the research questions. The interventions are low-cost, readily available, and results of this study can be directly disseminated to the care of COVID-19 patients with anosmia.
Description: The University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT) (Sensonics, New Jersey)7 is the most widely accepted olfactory identification test in North America. The UPSIT consists of four 10-page booklets, with a total of 40 items. Subjects are asked to scratch each strip with a pencil to release the scents, detect the smell, and identify the smell from the four choice options. The UPSIT comes from a scoring rubric that identifies the normalcy benchmark based on age and gender. Normosmia is defined as ≥34 for males and ≥35 for females, and an increase of 4 points or more from baseline indicates a clinically meaningful improvement. UPSIT has high internal reliability across a wide range of populations.
Measure: University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT) Time: The within subject change in UPSIT between baseline and 12- and 24-week assessment time frame.Description: The Questionnaire of Olfactory Disorders-Negative Statements (QOD-NS) was adapted from the original 52-item Questionnaire of Olfactory Disorders. This short-modified version is a validated 17-item questionnaire about quality of life and impairments related to olfactory dysfunction. The maximum score is 51, and higher values indicate worse quality of life or higher degree of impairment of normal daily activity. Mean scores in anosmics is 19; hyposmics is 8; and normosmics is 0. Prior studies used a cutoff score of 12.5 to reflect normal vs. abnormal scores.The minimum clinically important difference is 5.2.
Measure: Questionnaire of Olfactory Disorders-Negative Statements (QOD-NS). Time: The within subject change in QOD-NS between baseline and assessment time frame.Description: The Global Rating of Smell is a single-item, global rating that asks: "Overall, please rate your current sense of smell? Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor, Absent."
Measure: Global Rating of Smell. Time: 12 weeks - End of nasal lavage & olfactory training; 24 weeks - Follow-up (12 weeks after completion of lavage & training)Description: The Global Rating of Smell Change is a single-item, global rating that asks: "Compared to your sense of smell # weeks ago, how would you rate your change in smell since then? Much better, Somewhat better, Slightly better, Neither better nor worse, Slightly worse, Somewhat worse, or Much worse." The time frame ("#") will be changed to reflect the correct time since enrollment (i.e., 12, or 24 weeks).
Measure: Global Rating of Smell Change. Time: 12 weeks - End of olfactory training; 24 weeks - Follow-up (12 weeks after completion of lavage & training)This study is designed to investigate the acuity of olfactory dysfunction in COVID-19 positive patients in the United Kingdom. In particular defining severity with objective testing and determining if this has any predictive value on the outcome of the SARS CoV-2 infection. In addition, this study will strive to determine duration / natural history of olfactory dysfunction in these patients in respect to a positive SARS CoV-2 diagnosis. It should also demonstrate the impact of olfactory dysfunction on patient Quality of Life (QOL).

Description: subjective on a scale from 1 to 5 ( 1 is the least and 5 is the best ) , the score will be recorded for olfaction before and after the olfactory loss
Measure: olfaction Time: one monthDescription: subjective on a scale from 1 to 5 ( 1 is the least and 5 is the best ) , , the score will be recorded for gustation before and after the gustatory loss
Measure: gustation Time: one monthOlfactory and gustatory disorders are prevalent symptoms in European COVID-19 patients. This study aimed to detect these disturbances among positive COVID-19 patients (symptom not initially highlighted by the patient and not sought by caregivers) in order to allow early management of olfactory and gustatory dysfunction.
Description: Intensity ratio calculated between average signals of the olfactory bulb and the frontal white matter on a 3-Tesla MRI scanner.
Measure: To compare the qualitative and quantitative morphological abnormalities of the olfactory bulb detected by MRI on initial examination in COVID-19 anosmic versus COVID-19 normosmic patients. Time: initial examinationDescription: Sniffin' test score (T threshold score, D discrimination score, I identification score).
Measure: To compare the result of the olfactometry (Sniffin' test) on initial examination in COVID-19 anosmic versus COVID-19 normosmic patients. Time: initial examinationDescription: Intensity ratio calculated between average signals of the olfactory bulb and the frontal white matter on a 3-Tesla MRI scanner at initial examination, between 6 weeks and 2 months and between 6 and 9 months.
Measure: Longitudinal evaluation of qualitative and quantitative abnormalities of olfactory bulbs on MRI in in COVID-19 anosmic patient at initial examination, between 6 weeks and 2 months and between 6 and 9 months. Time: initial examination, 6 week to 2 months, 6 to 9 monthsDescription: Sniffin' test score (T threshold score, D discrimination score, I identification score).
Measure: To compare the result of the olfactometry (Sniffin' test) on initial examination in COVID-19 anosmic versus COVID-19 normosmic patients. Time: initial examination, 6 week to 2 months, 6 to 9 monthsTime to recover of Anosmia and / or ageusia and early corticosteroid use
Description: Time to recovery from anosmia and / or agusia
Measure: Time to recovery Time: one to 6 weeksEvaluating the smell and taste perceptions of patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit with suspicion of Coronavirus disease-19 diagnosis with a survey study
Description: incidence of taste and smell impairment in critically ill subjects
Measure: taste and smell impairment Time: up to 3 monthsBackground: Anosmia is a debilitating common symptom of COVID-19. The therapeutic effect of systemic steroid for the treatment of anosmia has been studied with various findings of its efficacy. However, the effect of local steroid was not assessed before. Objective: To estimate the efficacy of local steroid in the treatment of anosmia in COVID-19 patients.
Description: To estimate the recovery rate for both groups and whether nasal steroid enhance the recovery time
Measure: Recovery rate of anosmia and shorten recovery time Time: 30 daysOne of the most common causes of loss of smell is upper respiratory tract infection. These disorders can be quantitative (hyposmia or anosmia) or qualitative (parosmia or phantosmia). Loss of smell has been found as a major and frequent clinical sign of Sars Cov2 infection (more than 50% of patients screened at the CHU Nancy). Spontaneous recovery remains possible. It usually occurs in the first month . But when symptoms persist, the therapeutic management of post-viral anosmias is poorly codified in the literature. Olfactory rehabilitation could allow faster recovery and better quality, but the published protocols are numerous and could only be tested on small inhomogeneous series of patients (mixture of post-viral and post-traumatic hypo-ansomy). The significant increase in the population of patients suffering from post-viral anosmia following the current pandemic situation makes it possible to consider a prospective study aiming to compare two olfactory rehabilitation protocols: "classic" and "intensive" in a population of patients. suffering only from post-viral hypoanosmia. Hypothesis: Intensive or classic olfactory rehabilitation allows better results than spontaneous recovery
Description: The change in smell is based on the comparison of the results of the olfactory assessment after / before olfactory rehabilitation obtained from a single method out of the three carried out: Sniffin 'Stick Test Results: Threshold Test Score and Actual Identification Test Score. TI score: sum of the individual scores of the threshold and identification measures (TI score varying from 0 to 32). It is used to classify patients in terms of normosmia, hyposmia and functional anosmia based on normative values of "Sniffin 'Sticks" (according to the age and sex of each subject) with the threshold at the tenth percentile of the database provided in the study published by Hummel and Kobal. Self-assessment by patients using a digital scale of smell, from 0 (no smell) to 10 (normal smell) Self-assessment using the Dynachron-olfaction questionnaire:each question is used to assess the patient's feelings about his discomfort in the nose using a scale from 0 (no discomfort) to 10 (unbearable
