TI  - Usefulness of curry odorant of odor stick identification test for Japanese in 
      olfactory impairment screening.
PG  - 91-4
AB  - CONCLUSION: The curry odorant of the odor stick identification test for Japanese 
      (OSIT-J) is useful in screening for olfactory impairment in Japanese subjects. 
      OBJECTIVE: The present study was designed to determine the most useful odorant of 
      the OSIT-J in screening for olfactory impairment in Japanese subjects. SUBJECTS 
      AND METHODS: We studied olfactory impairment screening with the OSIT-J in 83 
      participants (49 male, 34 female; average age 50 years) in an executive check-up 
      at NTT West Kanazawa Hospital. Olfactory discrimination acuity was evaluated with 
      three odorants of the OSIT-J (rose, curry, and sweaty-smelling clothes), each 
      known to be significantly correlated with the assessment of the Japanese standard 
      olfaction test (T&T olfactometer). Those participants who did not score full 
      marks in tests with the three odors were assessed with another nine odorants of 
      the OSIT-J. RESULTS: The positive predictive value was 100% in the screening with 
      the curry odorant. In 38 participants who did not identify all three odors 
      correctly, the identification of the curry odor was significantly correlated with 
      the scores for all 12 odors (p<0.005). Identification of the curry odor was not 
      significantly correlated with identification of the menthol odor of OSIT-J.
