TI  - Suitability of the odor stick identification test for the Japanese in patients 
      suffering from olfactory disturbance.
PG  - 74-9
AB  - We studied the suitability of the Odor Stick Identification Test for the Japanese 
      (OSIT-J) in patients suffering from olfactory disturbance. In 120 patients with 
      olfactory disturbance (age range 12-85 years) there were statistically 
      significant correlations between the odor identification rate on the OSIT-J, the 
      results of the Japanese standardized olfactory test (T&T olfactometry) and 
      subjective symptom scores. In every patient treated for olfactory disturbance, 
      the OSIT-J reflected the grade of recovery from the olfactory disturbance as 
      determined by means of T&T olfactometry. The odor identification rate on the 
      OSIT-J also correlated significantly with the results of the i.v. Alinamin test. 
      Regarding the rate of correct recognition of odors on the OSIT-J, menthol and 
      curry odors were recognized with a high rate and orange and wood odors with a low 
      rate. Although the OSIT-J includes 13 kinds of odorants, the number of odorants 
      used can be reduced to a minimum of 5 as the results obtained with this reduced 
      form of the OSIT-J also correlated with the results of T&T olfactometry and the 
      subjective symptom scores as well as with the results obtained with the 
      13-odorant OSIT-J. We conclude that the OSIT-J is suitable not only as a 
      screening test for olfactory disturbance but also for practical use in clinical 
      otorhinolaryngology.
