Loss of Smell and Taste in 2013 European Patients With Mild to Moderate COVID-19 2020-05-26 .txt text/plain 900 53 54 title: Loss of Smell and Taste in 2013 European Patients With Mild to Moderate COVID-19 Using a standardized online questionnaire, we collected clinical and epidemiologic data from hospitalized patients on discharge day and from ambulatory patients after the resolution of key symptoms (such as cough, fever, dyspnea, headache, myalgia, and arthralgia) (Figure) . Objective evaluations for olfactory dysfunction were performed in a subset of patients who reported total loss of smell at 1 of the study sites (EpiCURA Hospital, Hainaut, Belgium) at the time of the questionnaire. A total of 1754 patients (87%) reported loss of smell, whereas 1136 (56%) reported taste dysfunction. Mean time from the end of the disease to the evaluation was 7.8 days (SD, 6.8); mean duration of general symptoms (excluding loss of smell and taste) was 11.5 days (SD, 6.0). Most patients had loss of smell after other general and otolaryngologic symptoms (Table) . ./cache/cord-309207-n8u8ddv7.txt ./txt/cord-309207-n8u8ddv7.txt
