Abstract:

Olfactory disorders refer to sensory impairments, lowering patient’s life quality. A number of questionnaires for olfaction self-assessment was suggested in recent years, effectiveness of which is determined by comparing the results of the survey with objective methods for olfaction examination.

OBJECTIVE

To analyze modern validated tools used for olfaction self-assessment.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

The analysis of publications presented in PubMed, Web of Science and ELSEVIER databases was carried out to perform task using keywords: olfaction, questionnaires, hyposmia, anosmia, otorhinolaryngology.

RESULTS

The largest number of publications describes the use of Questionnaire of olfactory disorders (QOD) in the rhinology. The questionnaire has a good level of evidence (0.8—0.967 Cronbach alpha coefficient) and compliance with objective methods of olfaction examination (44.0±7.2, 35.7±12.8 and 31.6±10.7 scores for normosmia, hyposmia and anosmia, respectively).

CONCLUSION

The conducted analysis allows to identify the most significant questionnaires for olfaction self-assessment, in particular, such as Self-reported Mini Olfactory Questionnaire and QOD-NS.

Keywords:

olfaction
questionnaires
hyposmia
anosmia
otorhinolaryngology
