Groups were compared using chi‐square test for dichotomous variables. Significance: p < .05, two‐tailed (in bold).
a
Hyposmia: defined as SI‐SST score < 10th percentile, adjusted for age and sex.
b
Functional anosmia: defined as SI‐SST score < 8 points.
c
Combined hyposmia and anosmia: defined as SI‐SST score < 10th percentile, adjusted for age and sex, or SI‐SST raw score < 8 points.
