To develop, evaluate, and apply a questionnaire-based instrument for investigation of specific symptoms in idiopathic environmental intolerance (IEI), called the Idiopathic Environmental Intolerance Symptom Inventory (IEISI).
Participants with IEI to chemicals responded to 82 candidate symptoms and to three subscales of the Quick Environmental Exposure and Sensitivity Inventory (QEESI) at a test (n = 207) and retest (n = 193) occasion.
The 27 most commonly reported symptoms were selected and grouped into five symptom categories. Internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and concurrent validity were found to be satisfying. Cluster analysis identified two subgroups of IEI to chemicals.
The results provide support for the IEISI being a reliable, valid, and fast tool for the study of specific symptom prevalence in IEI and encourage further study of subgroups.
开发、评估并应用一种基于问卷的工具，用于调查特发性环境不耐受（IEI）中的特定症状，即特发性环境不耐受症状量表（IEISI）。
对化学物质有特发性环境不耐受的参与者在测试（n = 207）和重新测试（n = 193）时，对82个候选症状以及快速环境暴露与敏感性量表（QEESI）的三个子量表进行了回答。
选取了27个最常报告的症状，并将其分为五个症状类别。发现内部一致性、重测信度和同时效度令人满意。聚类分析确定了对化学物质有特发性环境不耐受的两个亚组。
结果支持IEISI作为一种可靠、有效且快速的工具，用于研究特发性环境不耐受中特定症状的患病率，并鼓励对亚组进行进一步研究。
