TI  - [Clinical usefulness of odor stick identification test for patients with 
      olfactory disturbance].
PG  - 956-65
AB  - The odor stick identification test for Japanese (OSITJ) is the latest in 
      measuring olfactory identification. It consists of 13 odorants familiar to the 
      Japanese population. We studied the relationship between the Japanese standard 
      olfactory test (T & T olfactometer) and the OSITJ in 182 patients with olfactory 
      disturbance. The identification ratio in 2 of OSITJ tests using 13 odorants was 
      correlated significantly negatively with the detection and recognition threshold 
      measured by the T & T olfactometer. A high correlation between identification 
      ratio and olfactory thresholds was maintained even when the number of odorants in 
      the OSITJ was reduced to 2. For each odorant used, the identification ratio 
      correlated significantly with olfactory thresholds. Results from the OSITJ 
      provide a measure of the degree of olfactory deficit because the ratio of correct 
      answers obtained by the OSITJ decreased gradually with of the severity of 
      olfactory disturbance. Compared to the T & T olfactometer, the OSITJ has several 
      advantages for use in the clinic. These include minimal odor pollution of the 
      test room, simplicity of use, and shorter clinical time needed to administer the 
      test. The OSITJ may be ideal for use in screening due to the minimum number of 
      odorants needed. In conclusion, the OSITJ is useful for detecting and evaluating 
      olfactory disturbance in Japanese people.
