- The study focused on COVID-19-associated rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis (ROCM) in India, examining patient demographics, risk factors, symptoms, and management outcomes during the pandemic's second wave.
- Key findings revealed that 78% of patients had diabetes and a majority required oxygen support; most cases showed ROCM symptoms within 10-15 days post-COVID diagnosis.
- Final outcomes indicated a 14% mortality rate, significantly reduced through surgical interventions, highlighting the role of corticosteroids and diabetes as major contributors to ROCM development.
