Summary/Key points
- The prevalence of subjective OD and GD were higher in mild
compared with moderate and severe-to-critical COVID-19 patients. The
psychophysical olfactory evaluations were better in moderate and
severe-to-critical patients, which may indicate a higher proportion of
objective OD in individuals with mild COVID-19.
-Females had a higher prevalence of subjective OD and GD compared with
males.
-Diabetes was associated with a higher risk to develop GD.
- The development of OD and GD could be predictive factors of
the severity of the COVID-19. Gender (female) was identified as
epidemiological factor associated with the development of both OD and
GD.
