dc.description.abstractIntroductionCoronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) causes olfactory loss one of the initial diagnostic criteria. The brief smell identification test (BSIT) is an objective test frequently used in olfactory dysfunction. This study aimed to observe the changes in olfactory functions and clinical features in a short time in COVID-19.MethodsIn this prospective study involving 64 patients, the BSIT was performed at two different times; at the time of first application and on the 14th day. Demographic features, laboratory findings, body mass index (BMI), blood oxygen saturation values (SpO2), complaints at first admission, fever, follow-up place, and treatment schemes were noted.ResultsThere was a significant difference between the BSIT scores at the first admission and when the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) became negative on the 14th day (p<0.001). Low oxygen saturation values at first admission were associated with low BSIT scores. No relationship was found between olfactory functions and complaints at admission, fever, follow-up place, and treatment schemes. ConclusionAs a result, negative effects of COVID-19 on olfactory functions have been demonstrated even in the short follow-up period. In addition, low saturation values at first admission were associated with low BSIT scores.
