COVID-associated rhinocerebral mucormycosis: a retrospective analysis of presentation and outcomes

Objectives To comprehensively analyse the disease presentation and mortality of COVID-associated rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis. Methods A retrospective analysis of the demographics, clinical and radiographic findings was performed. A binary logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the survival of patients with mucormycosis from hypothesised predictors. Results A total of 202 patients were included in this study. Statistical significance was demonstrated in the predilection to the male gender, recent history of SARS-COV-2, history of use of corticosteroid and hyperglycemia in this cohort of CAM. The mortality rate was 18.31%. Advanced age, raised HbA1c and intra-orbital extension were found to be predictors adversely affecting survival. Conclusion Early diagnosis, aggressive surgical therapy, early and appropriate medical therapy can help improve outcomes. Level of evidence Level 4..
