嗅觉障碍影响了1-2%的美国人，并导致频繁的医生就诊。嗅觉功能测试可用于化学感觉中心，但在常规脑神经检查中经常被省略。加州大学圣地亚哥分校鼻功能障碍诊所开发了一种新的嗅觉测试，使用标准的70%异丙醇垫：酒精嗅探测试（AST）。(3)本研究采用重测方法检验了儿童AST的可靠性。每次呼气将标准的70%异丙醇垫向上移动1厘米，直到参与者报告检测结果。儿童AST的重测信度显著，r = 0.80。AST可预测地将儿童分为嗅觉缺失、嗅觉缺失或正常
Smell impairment affects 1-2% of Americans and leads to frequent physician visits. Olfactory functional testing is available in chemosensory centers, but is frequently omitted in routine cranial nerve examinations. A new smell test, using the standard 70% isopropyl alcohol pad, was developed at the UCSD Nasal Dysfunction Clinic: The Alcohol Sniff Test (AST).(3) The current study examined the reliability of the AST in children, using test-retest measures. A standard 70% isopropyl alcohol pad was moved upward 1 cm per exhalation until the participant reported detection. Test-retest reliability of the AST in children was significant, r = 0.80. The AST predictably classified children as anosmic, hyposmic or normosmic, p
