Detecting the skewness of data from the five-number summary and its application in meta-analysis

Jiandong Shi et al.

Summary: For clinical studies with potentially skewed data, reporting the five-number summary instead of the sample mean and standard deviation is often suggested. However, transforming the five-number summary back to the mean and standard deviation may lead to unreliable conclusions in meta-analysis. In this article, a novel method for detecting data skewness using only the five-number summary and sample size is introduced, along with a new flow chart for handling skewed studies. Simulation results and real data examples demonstrate the effectiveness of this new method in meta-analysis and evidence-based medicine.

Corticosteroid nasal irrigation as early treatment of olfactory dysfunction in COVID-19: A prospective randomised controlled trial

Jidapa Tragoonrungsea et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the efficacy of corticosteroid irrigation compared to saline or no nasal irrigation in restoring the sense of smell in COVID-19 patients with olfactory loss. The results showed that corticosteroid nasal irrigation was not superior to saline or no irrigation in terms of smell recovery.

Summary: This study assessed the effect of topical steroids on acute-onset olfactory dysfunction in patients infected with COVID-19. The findings showed that topical steroids improved olfactory function, but had no impact on the rate of full olfactory recovery.

Intranasal Corticosteroid Treatment on Recovery of Long-Term Olfactory Dysfunction Due to COVID-19

Masoumeh Hosseinpoor et al.

Summary: This study found that mometasone furoate nasal spray has a positive effect on improving smell dysfunction in post-COVID-19 patients. Although there was no significant difference in olfactory dysfunction between the two groups during the follow-up period, there was a significant improvement in olfactory scores in the mometasone group compared to the placebo group.

Efficacy of umbilical cord mesenchymal stromal cells for COVID-19: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Cong-wen Yang et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of umbilical cord mesenchymal stromal cells (UC-MSCs) in patients with COVID-19. The meta-analysis results showed that UC-MSCs can reduce mortality in COVID-19 patients and there is no significant correlation between adverse events and UC-MSC treatment. Additionally, treatment with UC-MSCs was found to suppress inflammation and improve pulmonary symptoms. Therefore, UC-MSCs hold promise as a safe and effective treatment for COVID-19.

Summary: This study shows that prednisolone does not improve olfactory function after COVID-19. Therefore, we recommend not prescribing prednisolone for patients with persistent olfactory disorders after COVID-19.

Management of new onset loss of sense of smell during the COVID-19 pandemic - BRS Consensus Guidelines

Claire Hopkins et al.

Summary: This study aims to provide recommendations for the investigation and management of patients with new onset loss of sense of smell during the COVID-19 pandemic. A panel of 15 experts used the RAND/UCLA methodology to reach consensus on treatment options, referral guidelines, and imaging. Consensus was achieved on most statements after 2 rounds of ranking, with olfactory training recommended for all patients with persistent loss of sense of smell, and individual consideration for oral steroids, steroid rinses, and omega 3 supplements.

Olfactory Dysfunction in COVID-19 Patients: Prevalence and Prognosis for Recovering Sense of Smell

Luca D'Ascanio et al.

Summary: This study found that olfactory dysfunction is more common in COVID-19 patients compared to healthy controls, with outpatients paradoxically reporting loss of smell more commonly than inpatients. Most patients with olfactory dysfunction recovered within 30 days, indicating a favorable prognosis.

Regeneration Profiles of Olfactory Epithelium after SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Golden Syrian Hamsters

Shinji Urata et al.

Summary: Olfactory dysfunction is a common symptom of COVID-19, but the damage and repair of the neuroepithelium after SARS-CoV-2 infection is still incomplete. In a study using golden Syrian hamsters, severe damage was observed in the olfactory epithelium post-inoculation, with the nasal septal region showing faster recovery. This suggests that anosmia related to SARS-CoV-2 infection may be fully reversible.

Effect of nasal corticosteroid in the treatment of anosmia due to COVID-19: A randomised double-blind placebo-controlled study

Rasheed Ali Rashid et al.

Summary: A clinical trial evaluating the therapeutic effect of nasal betamethasone drops in COVID-19-associated anosmia showed no significant impact on the recovery time compared to placebo. Age, smoking status, duration of anosmia, and co-presentation of ageusia with anosmia are important determinants for the recovery time of anosmia. Additional clinical trials taking these covariates into account are necessary.

Mometasone furoate nasal spray in the treatment of patients with COVID-19 olfactory dysfunction: A randomized, double blind clinical trial

Hossein Kasiri et al.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the usage of mometasone furoate nasal spray in patients with severe microsmia or anosmia induced by COVID-19. The combination of mometasone furoate nasal spray with olfactory training showed greater improvement in patients with severe chronic anosmia by COVID-19 compared to olfactory training alone.

Summary: The early use of oral corticosteroids or nasal corticosteroids in combination with olfactory training seems to have better efficacy in improving COVID-19 related olfactory dysfunction compared to olfactory training alone, but the long-term outcomes remain uncertain, requiring further research to validate.
