About this study

Official title: Diagnostic Value of Patient - Reported and Clinically Verified Olfactory Disorders in a Population Tested for COVID-19

Participants are healthcare workers and adult outpatients referred in a COVID-19 screening center. Patients-reported symptoms are collected, then participants underwent a simple olfactory test (CODA for Clinical Olfactory Dysfunction Assessment), prior to swabbing for SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis (RT-PCR). We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of smell and taste disorders, and to calculate the diagnostic value of patient-reported and clinically verified smell disorders in persons with suspected COVID-19.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of COVID-19, run by University Hospital, Montpellier at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Jun 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Diagnostic values of anosmia and ageusia for COVID-19 (time frame: at inclusion). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Jun 2020.
