    Self-administered smell test using odorized markers

  • Original language description

    To assess olfactory function we used a standard technique of testing using colored and odorized markers, which are available in stationeries. The Odorized Markers Test (OMT) is based on spontaneous naming of odorants and on odor identification from a list of four distractors. Our question was whether the test could be self-administered by patiens without affecting the result of the screening test. Healthy people as well as patients suffering from olfactory disorders participated in our study (in total 210 subjects). Two groups were formed. The first group was tested by a standard technique using odorized markers and the second one by a self-administration technique. All participants were tested by Sniffin´ Sticks (threshold and identification testing)as well. This test is used mainly in German-speeking countries. Healthy subjects reached a higher average score in the self-administration technique (10.4) than in the standard OMT (9.9). In both groups, women outperformed men in the OMT.

    Samovyšetření čichu pomocí parfémovaných fixů.

  • Czech description

    Cílem studie bylo zjistit, zda technika samovyšetření čichu bude stejně citlivá pro záchyt anosmie jako standardní metoda. Bylo vyšetřeno celkem 210 osob, které byly rozděleny do dvou skupin. Jedné skupině byl čich vyšetřen standardním postupem, ve druhéskupině si čich vyšetřované osoby provedly samy. Všechny osoby byly zároveň vyšetřeny testem Sniffin´Sticks.V obou skupinách ženy dosáhly vyššího skóre než muži a zdravé osoby získaly více bodů než pacienti s poruchou čichu. V obou skupinách nedosáhly osoby s anosmií více než 5-ti bodů. Závěr: Samovyšetření čichu pomocí testů parfémovaných fixů může být použito k záchytu anosmie v populaci.
