Diagnostic Value of Patient - Reported and Clinically Verified Olfactory Disorders (COVID-19) (COVID-OLFA)

May 28, 2020 updated by: University Hospital, Montpellier

Diagnostic Value of Patient - Reported and Clinically Verified Olfactory Disorders in a Population Tested for COVID-19

Participants are healthcare workers and adult outpatients referred in a COVID-19 screening center. Patients-reported symptoms are collected, then participants underwent a simple olfactory test (CODA for Clinical Olfactory Dysfunction Assessment), prior to swabbing for SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis (RT-PCR). We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of smell and taste disorders, and to calculate the diagnostic value of patient-reported and clinically verified smell disorders in persons with suspected COVID-19.
