Abstract

Background: The number of patients with COVID-19-induced Olfactory dysfunction has consistently increased since the onset of the pandemic. Since a considerable proportion of these patients have Olfactory dysfunction for a relatively long period of time, their Quality of life (QOL) may considerably be impacted as a result. Aim: The aim of the present study was to investigate the adverse effects of Olfactory dysfunction on QOL in patients with COVID-19-induced Hyposmia or Anosmia. Methods: The data were obtained via self-reported online questionnaire in individuals who met the inclusion criteria. The questionnaire included demographics, olfactory status and Questionnaire of Olfactory Disorders-Negative Statements (QOD-NS). Results: Among1531 participants, 1072 individuals met the inclusion criteria, with 588 (54. 85%) having Hyposmia and 484 (45. 15%) Anosmia. Average age was 35. 7 in the hyposmic group and 34. 5 in the anosmic group. Concurrent hypogeusia/ageusia was reported in 398 (67. 7%) of cases with Hyposmia and in 346 (71. 5%) of participants with Anosmia. Lack of enjoyment of eating food was the most negative effect in both hyposmic and anosmic groups, followed by annoyance when eating food and a continuous awareness of the olfactory problem. The mean QOD-NS score was 20. 5±, 10. 2 in the hyposmic group and 23. 3±, 10. 4 in the anosmic group, demonstrating significant adverse impact on QOL. Conclusion: Persistent Olfactory dysfunction in patients with COVID-19 has adverse effects on QOL. Early diagnosis and treatment of Olfactory dysfunction may be crucial in limiting the adverse impact on QOL by psychological and nutritional support and olfactory rehabilitation.
