Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the rate of audio-vestibular complaints by COVID-19 patients during the disease period and to evaluate the symptoms they encountered during the disease process in accordance with age and gender. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted with a total of 1437 patients (738 M, 699 F) with a positive PCR test, aged 18–80 years, between 15 June 2020 and 10 February 2021. The patients were divided into five groups according to age. 1437 patients were questioned about their complaints on the second day of the disease, but only 656 of 1437 patients were questioned on the fourteenth day of the disease. Finally, 1437 patients were called again for the third time in the third month of the disease, but only 340 of these patients could be reached. Results: Of the 1437 patients, 524 (36.5%) had more frequent audio-vestibular complaints than common complaints. During the 14-day disease period, dizziness or vertigo (3.4% to 19.4%), tinnitus (1.02% to 19.4%), pressure in the ears (1.1% to 5.6%), difficulty understanding speech in noise (0.13% to 26%), decreased sound tolerance (0.13% to 6.4%), speech difficulties (0.13% to 5%), and earache (1.4% to 7.8%) reportedly increased compared with the first day of the disease. Fifty-two (15.3%) of 340 patients reported that they lost their sense of taste, 90 (26.4%) lost their sense of smell, and 14 (4.11%) reported intermittent vertigo in the third month of COVID-19 infection. Conclusion: Symptoms such as dizziness, tinnitus, hoarseness, swallowing difficulty, fever, and decreased sound tolerance can often be seen in the later days of COVID-19 disease.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, COVID-19 tanısı alan hastaların hastalık döneminde karşılaştıkları odyo-vestibüler şikayet oranlarını belirlemek ve bu hastaların yaş ve cinsiyet özelliklerine göre hastalık sürecinde karşılaştıkları semptomları değerlendirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışma, 15 Haziran 2020 ile 10 Şubat 2021 tarihleri arasında, 18-80 yaşları arasında, PCR testi pozitif olan toplam 1437 hasta (738 E, 699 K) ile gerçekleştirildi. Hastalar yaşlarına göre beş gruba ayrıldı. 1437 hastanın şikayetleri hastalığın 2. gününde sorgulanırken, 1437 hastanın sadece 656'sı hastalığın 14. gününde ulaşıldı ve sorgulandı. Son olarak, hastalığın üçüncü ayında 1437 hasta üçüncü kez tekrar aranmış ancak bu hastalardan da sadece 340 'ına ulaşılabilmiştir. Bulgular: 1437 hastanın 524 'ünde (% 36.5) yaygın şikayetlerden daha sık odyo-vestibüler şikayetler vardı. 14 günlük hastalık sürecinde, baş dönmesi veya vertigo (%3.4 - %19.4), kulak çınlaması (%1.02 -%19.4), kulaklarda basınç (%1.1 -%5.6), gürültüyü anlamada zorluk (%0.13 - %26), konuşmada güçlük (%0.13- %5) ve kulak ağrısı (%1.4 - %7.8) semptomlarında artış bildirilmiştir. Baş dönmesi 60 yaş üstü bireylerde daha yaygındı. Kovid-19 hastalığının üçüncü ayında, 340 hastanın 52'si (%15.3) tat alma alamadığını, 90'ı (%26.4) koku alamadığını ve 14'ü (%4.11) ise aralıklı olarak baş dönmesi veya dengesizlik şikayetinin olduğunu bildirdi. Sonuç: Koronavirüs hastalığının ilerleyen günlerinde baş dönmesi, kulak çınlaması, ses kısıklığı, yutma güçlüğü, ateş ve azalan ses töleransı gibi belirtiler sıklıkla görülebilmektedir.
