The patients were divided into two cohorts: \u201cpre\u2010COVID\u201d (March 2018 to February 2020) and \u201cCOVID\u201d (March 2020 to February 2022).

ODS was found as the etiology of 22 (6%) and 45 (12.2%) of the pre\u2010COVID and COVID cases, respectively (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.006).

A higher incidence of sphenoid sinus involvement (31.8% vs. 8.9%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05) was identified in the pre\u2010COVID group; however, no differences in ethmoid (86.4% vs. 86.7%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.999) or frontal sinus involvement (54.5% vs. 37.8%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.3) were found between the groups.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>There was an increase in the incidence of ODS during the first 2\u2009years of the COVID\u201019 pandemic compared to the 2\u2009years prior. Similar clinical characteristics were found in both groups.
