Abstract

Objective: To translate and validate an Italian version of the Questionnaire of Olfactory Disorders (IT-QOD).

Materials and methods: This is a prospective, multicentre study that involved patients with olfactory dysfunction (OD). Both cases and controls underwent administration of the IT-QOD, Sino-Nasal Outcome Test-22 (SNOT-22) and psychophysical evaluation of orthonasal and retronasal olfactory function.

Results: The IT-QOD was administered to 96 patients and 38 controls. The Cronbach's alpha exceeded 0.90, indicating satisfactory internal consistency. The test-retest reliability was found to be high for both parosmia (rs = 0.944) and life quality (rs = 0.969). Patients with OD had significantly higher IT-QOD scores compared to healthy individuals (p < 0.001), indicating strong internal validity. The external validity was also satisfactory, as shown by the significant correlation with SNOT-22 (rs = -0.54) and the threshold, discrimination, and identification score (rs = -0.63).

Conclusions: The IT-QOD was demonstrated to be reliable and valid to assess the impact of OD on the quality of life of Italian-speaking patients.

针对讲意大利语的嗅觉功能障碍患者的嗅觉障碍问卷的有效性和可靠性。

目的：翻译并验证意大利语版的嗅觉障碍问卷（IT-QOD）：翻译并验证意大利语版的嗅觉障碍问卷（IT-QOD）：这是一项涉及嗅觉功能障碍（OD）患者的前瞻性多中心研究。病例和对照组均接受了 IT-QOD、Sino-Nasal Outcome Test-22 (SNOT-22) 测试，并对正鼻腔和反鼻腔嗅觉功能进行了心理物理评估：结果：96 名患者和 38 名对照者接受了 IT-QOD 测试。Cronbach'sα超过0.90，表明内部一致性令人满意。结果发现，副嗅觉（rs = 0.944）和生活质量（rs = 0.969）的测试-再测可靠性都很高。与健康人相比，OD 患者的 IT-QOD 得分明显更高（p < 0.001），这表明内部效度很高。IT-QOD与SNOT-22（rs = -0.54）以及阈值、辨别力和识别力评分（rs = -0.63）之间的显著相关性也表明其外部效度令人满意：IT-QOD在评估OD对意大利语患者生活质量的影响方面被证明是可靠有效的。

期刊介绍： Acta Otorhinolaryngologica Italica first appeared as “Annali di Laringologia Otologia e Faringologia” and was founded in 1901 by Giulio Masini. It is the official publication of the Italian Hospital Otology Association (A.O.O.I.) and, since 1976, also of the Società Italiana di Otorinolaringoiatria e Chirurgia Cervico-Facciale (S.I.O.Ch.C.-F.). The journal publishes original articles (clinical trials, cohort studies, case-control studies, cross-sectional surveys, and diagnostic test assessments) of interest in the field of otorhinolaryngology as well as clinical techniques and technology (a short report of unique or original methods for surgical techniques, medical management or new devices or technology), editorials (including editorial guests – special contribution) and letters to the Editor-in-Chief. Articles concerning science investigations and well prepared systematic reviews (including meta-analyses) on themes related to basic science, clinical otorhinolaryngology and head and neck surgery have high priority.
