TI  - [Clinical usefulness of smell identification test card: Open Essence].
PG  - 751-7
AB  - Since the Odor Stick Identification Test for Japanese (OSIT-J) has proved 
      clinically useful in Japan, the Open Essence (OE) smell identification test card 
      has been developed to amend OSIT-J deficits. To determine its clinical 
      effectiveness, we administered the OE to 93 Japanese subjects reporting olfactory 
      dysfunction. They scored their olfactory dysfunction on levels one to five, i.e., 
      normal to anosmic, using the Japan Rhinologic Society Self-Administered Odor 
      Questionnaire (SAOQ) and the visual analog scale (VAS). They also took the 
      Japanese standard olfactory test (T & T olfactometry) and intravenous 
      olfactometry (Alinamin test). Opinions on the OE and OSIT-J were recorded from 
      those previously administered the OSIT-J and testers familiar with OSIT-J 
      administration. The OE took 5.1+/- 1.6 minutes to administer. Scores correlated 
      significantly for the OE, self-reported olfactory function, SAOQ, VAS, T & T 
      olfactometry recognition threshold, and Alinamin latency and duration time. 
      Subjects and testers reported the OE to be easier, shorter, more interesting, and 
      more convenient, indicating its utility in clinical olfactory dysfunction 
      evaluation and its convenience for both subjects and testers.
