*Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test: p = 0.42 for full model; p = 0.09 for final model.

Full model includes past medical history and laboratory variables with sufficient available data and p < .05 for association with anosmia or ageusia at the bivariate level, as well as demographic characteristics. Final model includes variables with p-value < .05 after applying stepwise backward selection.p<0.05 are shown in bold and italic format.
