cord-256290-pyrmtps3	Kerr, Colm	Prevalence of smell and taste dysfunction in a cohort of CoVID19 outpatients managed through remote consultation from a large urban teaching hospital in Dublin, Ireland	2020-07-15		.txt	text/plain	1348	85	57	Assessment of smell and taste function should be conducted at the point of CoVID19 testing to further investigate their association with disease presence. At the time of our study, The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control did not specifically delineate taste and smell disturbances as features of CoVID19. As such, our study investigated the prevalence of these features in a cohort of newly diagnosed COVID19 patients triaged to management in an outpatient setting through a telephone clinic. Our study has found that, in a cohort of patients with confirmed mild CoVID19 disease suitable for remote medical management, approximately half of them experienced new onset smell or taste dysfunction. Further work should also investigate the prevalence of olfactory and gustatory disturbance in all patients being tested for CoVID19, in order to evaluate the diagnostic value of these features in predicting the presence of the disease.	./cache/cord-256290-pyrmtps3.txt	./txt/cord-256290-pyrmtps3.txt
