Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The correlation between the peak of COVID-19 transmission and the popularity of related online terms | through study completion, an average of 3 months | The correlation between the peak of COVID-19 transmission and the popularity of related online terms |
| Symptom incidence | through study completion, an average of 3 months | According to the questionnaire survey of 748 patients, the incidence of hearing loss, tinnitus, ear tightness, earache, vertigo or other cognitive and emotional problems after COVID-19 was analyzed. |
| Pure tone average | through study completion, an average of 3 months | According to the WHO grading standard of hearing loss in 1980, the average pure tone threshold (PTA) of 0.5k, 1k, 2k and 4kHz in better ears was defined as normal hearing, 26-40 dB HL(hearing level) was defined as mild hearing loss, and 41-55 dB HL was defined as moderate hearing loss. 56-70 dB HL was moderate to severe hearing loss, 71-90 dB HL was severe hearing loss, and ≥91 dB HL was extremely severe hearing loss. |
| Mini-Mental State Examination score and grade | through study completion, an average of 3 months | There are 30 points in the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scale. The score of 27-30 is normal, and 21-26 is mild dementia. 10-20 is moderate dementia; On a scale of 0 to 9, dementia is severe |
| Montreal Cognitive Assessment score and grade | through study completion, an average of 3 months | The total score of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scale is 30 points, generally ≥26 points normal, 18-26 points mild cognitive impairment, 10-17 points moderate cognitive impairment, and \< 10 points severe cognitive impairment. |
| Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Interview score and grade | through study completion, an average of 3 months | Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) Scale total scores 21 points. A score of 0-5 indicates good sleep quality; A score of 6-10 indicates good sleep quality; 11-15 points, indicating average sleep quality; A score of 16 to 21 indicates poor sleep quality |
| Hamilton depression score and grade | through study completion, an average of 3 months | For the 24th version of Hamilton depression Scale (HAMD), the total score \> 35 May indicate severe depression; 21-35, may be mild to moderate depression; 9-20, suspected depression; \< 8 indicates normal. |
| Resting state of Electroencephalogram data | through study completion, an average of 3 months | Electroencephalogram (EEG) data of the study were preprocessed and trends in functional brain network connectivity were analyzed. |
