- Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To establish the most frequent sinonasal manifestations that have the greatest impact on quality of life in patients who attended the otorhinolaryngology outpatient clinic with a history of SARS-CoV-2 infection through the SNOT-22 questionnaire. MATERIALS AND METHODS: An observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study, in which the SNOT-22 questionnaire was applied to all patients with a history of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection who attended the otorhinolaryngology outpatient clinic from January to December 2022 at the Villahermosa Regional Hospital, Tabasco, and Central Sur Hospital of High Specialty, Mexico City. RESULTS: One hundred twelve patients were included. The average age was 48.22 years. The main reason for consultation was hyaline rhinorrhea (54.5%). The symptoms with the highest scores were: need to blow nose, nasal congestion/obstruction, taste/smell disturbances, decreased performance/productivity, and poor sleep at night. CONCLUSIONS: It is important to know the manifestations and sequelae that COVID-19 infection can have in the population and how they affect their quality of life in order to provide comprehensive and multidisciplinary management to our patients.
