Researchers find that a month after infection only 74% of patients globally reported smell recovery and 79% of patients reported taste recovery.
researchers say that loss of smell may be long-lasting in almost 6% of patients, and more than 4% may not recover their sense of taste. Thirty-days after being infected, only 74% of patients had regained their sense of smell and 79% said they could taste again. After 180 days, those numbers increased to 96% and 98%, respectively., other scientistssay the findings suggest health systems may not be prepared for the treatment needs of these patients.
"While most patients are expected to recover their sense of smell or taste within the first 3 months, a major subpopulation of patients might develop long lasting dysfunction," the authors write."These patients require timely identification, [personalized] treatment, and long term follow-up." Changes in the ability to smell or taste are common with COVID-19; about 40%-50% of people report these changes globally. But little is known about how long the changes last and who is more at risk.
In all, 18 studies involving 3699 patients met the study criteria. Most of the studies were conducted in hospitalized patients.
