This article is a Preprint
Preprints are preliminary research reports that have not been certified by peer review. They should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Preprints posted online allow authors to receive rapid feedback and the entire scientific community can appraise the work for themselves and respond appropriately. Those comments are posted alongside the preprints for anyone to read them and serve as a post publication assessment.

ABSTRACT
Many studies have confirmed that chemosensory disorder (including smell, taste and chemesthesis) is one of the symptoms of COVID-19 infection. However, new data indicated that the changes of chemosensory sensation caused by COVID-19 may be different among different populations and COVID-19 variants. At present, there are few studies focusing on the influence of Omicron on qualitative changes and quantitative reductions of chemosensory in China. We conducted a cross-sectional study on COVID-19 Omicron variant patients to investigate the prevalence of chemosensory disorders and their chemosensory function before and during infection by online questionnaire. A total of 1245 patients with COVID-19 completed the study. The prevalence of smell, taste and chemesthesis disorder was 69.2%, 67.7% and 31.4% respectively. Sex, age, smoking and COVID-19-related symptoms such as lack of appetite, dyspnea and fatigue may have association with chemosensory disorders during COVID-19. Self-ratings of chemosensory function revealed that patients experienced a decline in the function of smell, taste and chemesthesis generally. Further studies are needed to combine the data using objective assessment and investigate the factors affecting chemosensory in COVID-19 through longitudinal research.
