目的：韩国版嗅棒（Korean Version of the Sniffin' stick，KVSS）是韩国人第一个嗅觉测试工具。虽然我们采用了Sniffin' Stick，但我们对其进行了修改，使其更适合韩国人。KVSS I是一种筛查测试，KVSS II是一种更全面的测试。本研究的目的是应用KVSS测试，并评估其临床有效性和可靠性相比，CC-SIT.Methods：174名健康志愿者和206例主观嗅觉减退患者参加。结果：CC-SIT与KVSS I总分的相关系数为0.720（p < 0.01），与KVSS II总分的相关系数为0.714（p < 0.01）。当使用基于KVSS I的嗅觉程度时，嗅觉正常的平均CC-SIT评分为8.6 +/- 1.8，嗅觉减退的平均CC-SIT评分为7.3 +/- 2.2，嗅觉丧失的平均CC-SIT评分为4.2 +/- 2.3。当应用KVSS II总分时，平均CC-SIT评分为8.4 +/- 1.8（嗅觉正常）、7.3 +/- 2.0（嗅觉减退）和3.7 +/- 2.0（嗅觉丧失）。结论：KVSS测验与CC-SIT测验相比，具有较好的信度和效度。(C)2008年由Elsevier爱尔兰有限公司出版。
Objective: The Korean Version of the Sniffin' stick (KVSS) is the first olfactory test for Koreans. Although we adopted the Sniffin' Stick, we modified it to make it more suitable for Koreans. KVSS I is a screening test, and KVSS II a more comprehensive test. The aims of this study were to apply the KVSS test and assess its clinical validity and reliability in comparison to CC-SIT.Methods: One hundred and seventy-four healthy volunteers and 206 patients with subjective decreased olfaction participated. Each participant was tested with both the CC-SIT and KVSS tests and then the correlation between these two tests was analyzed.Results: The correlation between CC-SIT and KVSS I was 0.720 (p < 0.01) and 0.714 between the CC-SIT and KVSS II total scores (p < 0.01). When the degree of olfaction based on the KVSS I was used, the mean CC-SIT score was 8.6 +/- 1.8 for normosmia, 7.3 +/- 2.2 for hyposmia, and 4.2 +/- 2.3 for anosmia. When the KVSS II total was applied, the mean CC-SIT score was 8.4 +/- 1.8 for normosmia, 7.3 +/- 2.0 for hyposmia, and 3.7 +/- 2.0 for anosmia. The means of the three group differed significantly in both cases (p < 0.01).Conclusion: Thus, the KVSS test demonstrates validity and reliability for Korean in comparison with CC-SIT.
