Studies Comparing Objective and Subjective Olfactory Loss in COVID-19 Patients

Description

Results from 35 studies measuring olfactory loss in COVID-19 patients using either objective or subjective measures.

Usage

dat.hannum2020

Format

The data frame contains the following columns:

authorName	character	(first) author of study
DOI	character	article DOI number
ni	numeric	number of Covid-19 positive patients in the study
xi	numeric	number of Covid-19 positive patients in the study with olfactory loss
percentOlfactoryLoss	numeric	percent of the sample with olfactory loss
objectivity	character	objective or subjective measure used
measured	character	outcome measure
testType	character	type of test used
country	character	country where patients were treated
patientType	character	type of patient information and location where being treated

Details

One of the symptoms of COVID-19 infection is olfactory loss (loss of smell) either recently acquired anosmia (complete loss of smell) or hyposmia (partial loss of smell). One challenge to reaching this symptom is the wide range of reported prevalence for this symptom ranging from 5 percent to 98 percent. In this dataset studies were grouped into one of two groups based on the type of method used to measure smell loss (either subjective measures, such as self-reported smell loss, or objective measures using rated stimuli).
