进行了一项研究，以确定临床诊断标准，专家认为这是将患者归类为多重化学敏感性（MCS）综合征的主要标准。对148名有兴趣或熟悉这种情况的医生进行了横断面调查，60.1%的受访者返回了可评分问卷。50%以上的受访者选择以下五个标准作为诊断该综合征的主要标准，这些标准都是基于自我报告：（1）症状在暴露时可重现;（2）病情是慢性的;（3）低水平的暴露导致综合征的表现;（4）症状在去除诱因后消退;（5）对多种化学上不相关的物质产生反应。建议暂时采用大多数调查对象接受的主要标准作为MCS综合征调查中病例分类的基础。
A study was conducted to identify clinical diagnostic criteria that experts regarded asmajorfor categorizing patients as having multiple chemical sensitivities (MCS) syndrome. A cross-sectional survey of 148 medical practitioners with an interest in, or familiarity with, the condition was performed scoreable questionnaires were returned by 60.1% of those surveyed. The following five criteria, all based on self-reports, were selected as major for diagnosing the syndrome by more than 50% of the respondents: (1) symptoms are reproducible with exposure; (2) condition is chronic; (3) low levels of exposure result in manifestations of the syndrome; (4) symptoms resolve with removal of incitants; and (5) responses occur to multiple, chemically unrelated substances. It is proposed that the major criteria accepted by the majority of survey respondents be used provisionally as the basis for categorizing cases in investigations of MCS syndrome.
