Abstract

Objective: Olfactory dysfunction (OD) represents a frequent complaint in general population and especially in patients with chronic sinonasal diseases. The aim of this study was the cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the Self-reported Mini Olfactory Questionnaire (Self-MOQ) into Italian.

Methods: One hundred fifty patients affected by chronic sinonasal diseases and reporting hyposmia were enrolled. Other 150 normosmic subjects without inflammatory or neoplastic sinonasal disorders were used as a control group. The Short-form 36 (SF-36) questionnaire was used for clinical validity.

Results: Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.825. The test-retest reliability was excellent. The good correlation between the Self-MOQ and the Visual Analogue Scale scores (p < 0.05) demonstrated the construct validity of the questionnaire. The Self-MOQ was able to distinguish between subjects with or without OD (p < 0.05). Higher Self-MOQ score was found in case of nasal obstruction and posterior rhinorrhoea (p < 0.05). Self-MOQ showed significant correlation with SF-36 general health, SF-36 role functioning/physical, and SF-36 pain (p < 0.05).

Conclusions: The Italian version of the Self-MOQ showed good internal consistency, test-retest reliability, construct, and clinical validity.

意大利语版迷你嗅觉问卷（Self-MOQ）的验证和可靠性。

目的：嗅觉功能障碍（OD）是普通人群，尤其是慢性鼻窦疾病患者的常见症状。本研究的目的是将自我报告的迷你嗅觉问卷（Self-MOQ）改编成意大利语并进行跨文化验证：方法：150 名受慢性鼻窦疾病影响并报告嗅觉减退的患者参加了研究。其他 150 名无鼻窦炎性或肿瘤性疾病的正常人作为对照组。采用短表 36（SF-36）问卷进行临床验证：结果：Cronbach's alpha 系数为 0.825。结果：Cronbach's alpha 系数为 0.825，测试-再测可靠性极佳。Self-MOQ 与视觉模拟量表得分之间的良好相关性（p < 0.05）证明了该问卷的结构效度。Self-MOQ 能够区分有无 OD 的受试者（p < 0.05）。鼻塞和后鼻炎患者的 Self-MOQ 得分更高（p < 0.05）。Self-MOQ与SF-36一般健康状况、SF-36角色功能/体能和SF-36疼痛有明显相关性（P < 0.05）：结论：意大利语版的Self-MOQ显示出良好的内部一致性、重测可靠性、结构和临床有效性。

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.
