PG  - 689-95
AB  - In recent years, a new stick-type odor identification test, the odor-stick 
      identification test for Japanese (OSIT-J) has been developed in Japan. Thirteen 
      odors familiar to Japanese people are used in this test. The OSIT-J is an 
      olfactory discrimination test and is significantly correlated with the average 
      recognition threshold of T & T olfactometry, which is the standard olfactory 
      acuity test used in Japan. In this study, we evaluated the accuracy of the OSIT-J 
      in patients with olfactory disturbances. We compared the OSIT-J and T & T 
      olfactometry results and examined the sensitivity and specificity of the OSIT-J. 
      Using the OSIT-J, olfactory disturbances were diagnosed in more than 70% based on 
      the average recognition threshold determined by T & T olfactometry. OSIT-J is a 
      simple test and is recommended for use in clinical practice for evaluating 
      olfactory disturbances.
