The development of the 12-item Cross-Cultural Smell Identification Test (CC-SIT), based upon items from the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT), is described. In developing this test, the authors initially selected UPSIT items that are familiar to most persons from North American, European, South American, and Asian cultures. The CC-SIT was then administered to 198 people ranging in age from 5 to 96 years, and the the test scores were compared to analogous items from UPSITs administered to 198 age-, sex-, race-, and smoking-habit-matched control subjects. Since the pattern of test scores did not differ for the two groups, the authors developed normative data for the 12-item test using equivalent UPSIT items sampled from a database containing UPSIT scores for 3760 subjects. Norms are provided for determining the percentile ranks of a given patient's score as a function of age and gender. The CC-SIT provides, for the first time, a self-administered means for reliably assessing olfactory function in less than 5 minutes.
本文描述了基于宾夕法尼亚大学嗅觉识别测试（UPSIT）项目开发的12项跨文化嗅觉识别测试（CC-SIT）。在开发此测试时，作者最初选择了北美、欧洲、南美和亚洲文化中大多数人熟悉的UPSIT项目。然后，对198名年龄在5至96岁之间的人进行了CC-SIT测试，并将测试分数与对198名年龄、性别、种族和吸烟习惯匹配的对照受试者进行的UPSIT类似项目的分数进行了比较。由于两组的测试分数模式没有差异，作者使用从包含3760名受试者的UPSIT分数的数据库中抽取的等效UPSIT项目，为12项测试制定了常模数据。提供了根据年龄和性别确定给定患者分数百分位排名的常模。CC-SIT首次提供了一种在不到5分钟内可靠评估嗅觉功能的自我管理方法。
