Assessment of the Early Detection of Anosmia and Ageusia Symptoms in COVID-19 on Twitter: Retrospective Study

Assessment of the Early Detection of Anosmia and Ageusia Symptoms in COVID-19 on Twitter: Retrospective Study

Regarding anosmia, among the 290 manually annotated anosmia-related tweets, 247 tweets contained genuine anosmia symptoms (49/90 and 198/200 tweets during periods 1 and 2, respectively), 36 were false positives (34/90 and 2/200 tweets during periods 1 and 2, respectively), and 7 tweets from period 1 were too short or unexplicit (eg, presence of irony) to conclude.

Discovery and Analytical Validation of a Vocal Biomarker to Monitor Anosmia and Ageusia in Patients With COVID-19: Cross-sectional Study

Discovery and Analytical Validation of a Vocal Biomarker to Monitor Anosmia and Ageusia in Patients With COVID-19: Cross-sectional Study

Anosmia, an olfactory dysfunction that leads to a temporary or permanent loss of olfaction, is present in 75% to 95% [1-3] of infected patients, whereas ageusia, a gustatory dysfunction resulting from the loss of functions of the tongue, is present in 50% to 80% [1,2,4,5] of infected people and can predict infection [6], depending on the virus strain and population characteristics.

Loss of Smell and Taste in Patients With Suspected COVID-19: Analyses of Patients’ Reports on Social Media

Loss of Smell and Taste in Patients With Suspected COVID-19: Analyses of Patients’ Reports on Social Media

This includes the symptoms of anosmia and ageusia. The understanding of the onset and progression of anosmia and ageusia in otherwise asymptomatic patients and that of patients with mild or moderate symptoms may contribute to containment of the virus by enabling the detection of patients with COVID-19 at an earlier stage after contracting SARS-Co V-2.

Evaluating the Onset, Severity, and Recovery of Changes to Smell and Taste Associated With COVID-19 Infection in a Singaporean Population (the COVOSMIA-19 Trial): Protocol for a Prospective Case-Control Study

Evaluating the Onset, Severity, and Recovery of Changes to Smell and Taste Associated With COVID-19 Infection in a Singaporean Population (the COVOSMIA-19 Trial): Protocol for a Prospective Case-Control Study

High temperature, continuous dry cough, and fatigue are common clinical symptoms associated with COVID-19 infection; however, numerous recent reports from patients and clinicians worldwide have consistently identified a sudden loss of smell (anosmia) and/or taste (ageusia) as a key early symptom of infection [1-6].

Identifying and Ranking Common COVID-19 Symptoms From Tweets in Arabic: Content Analysis

The top 4 symptoms that coincided with fever were headache (n=33, 23.7%), cough (n=20, 14.4%), anosmia (n=19, 13.7%), and ageusia (n=17, 12.2%). Other symptoms occurred at a relatively lower frequency with fever. Table 4 lists the top 8 common symptoms for Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, which accounts for 81.2% (n=190) of the reports. The symptoms had a correlation coefficient of 0.835 between the 2 countries. Most common symptoms reported by users.

Epidemiological Observations on the Association Between Anosmia and COVID-19 Infection: Analysis of Data From a Self-Assessment Web Application

Epidemiological Observations on the Association Between Anosmia and COVID-19 Infection: Analysis of Data From a Self-Assessment Web Application

Anosmia, a loss of the sense of smell, was added on March 21, 2020. Following symptom reporting, a notification was sent, recommending the user either to stay at home and use the website again in case of evolving symptomatology (self-monitoring), or to contact a general practitioner (GP), or to call an emergency number if they reported dyspnea or anorexia. A questionnaire was built according to Chinese reports and French experience [6].
