目的>评估严重嗅觉减退相关家庭事故的风险。方法>由57名嗅觉减退患者和49名嗅觉正常的对照者完成问卷，询问四种特定类型的嗅觉相关家庭事故：未检测到的气味，未检测到的气体泄漏，食用变质食物和食物燃烧事件。通过嗅觉测试（Biolfa（R））确定嗅觉功能水平。结果>嗅觉测试显示60%的患者患有嗅觉缺失，40%的患者患有严重嗅觉减退。他们最常报告与烹饪有关的事故（63%），其次是吃变质的食物（51%），无法发现煤气泄漏（47%）和无法闻到火灾（26%）。所有这些意外事件发生的频率明显高于对照人群（p < 10（-4））。讨论和结论>本文首次在欧洲文献中发表，第二次在国际文献中发表，表明嗅觉严重受损的患者比嗅觉功能正常的患者更容易发生相关的意外事件。
Objective > To assess the risk of home accidents related to severe hyposmio.Methods > A questionnaire, completed by 57 hyposmic patients and 49 control subjects with G normal sense of smell, asked about four specific types of olfactory-related home accidents: undetected fifes, undetected gas leaks, consumption of spoiled food, and incidents of food burning. Level of olfactory function was determined by olfactory testing (Biolfa(R)).Results > Olfactory testing revealed that 60% of the patients were anosmic and 40% had severe hyposmia. They reported cooking-related accidents most often (63%), followed by eating spoiled food (51%), inability to detect a gas leak (47%) and inability to smell a fire (26%). All these accidents were significantly more frequent than in the control population (p < 10(-4)).Discussion and conclusion > This paper, the first in the European literature and the second in the international literature, shows that patients with severely impaired olfaction ore more likely to experience related accidents than those with normal olfactory function.
