The Leicester semi-automated olfactory threshold test--a psychophysical olfactory test for the 21st century

Abstract: Develop a useful and cost-effective olfactometer for routine clinical use by providing a standardised threshold test for patients with olfactory disorders presenting in the ENT clinic. Method of study: A prospective study of olfactory thresholds in 48 healthy volunteers on 2 consecutive occasions, undergoing quantitative testing with an olfactometer. Further studies of 10 subjects performing 20 tests and 100 subjects performing a single test were performed. An olfactometer was designed to deliver a semi-automa… Show more

“…The terms ''ambient'' and ''extra'' define the components in the particular adapt-test paradigm, are purely descriptive and meant to avoid confusion over the actual extent of adaptation. The compounds, obtained from Sigma Chemical Co., are water soluble (Moncrieff 1967), nontoxic, nontrigeminal (Doty et al 1978), pleasant, familiar, and commonly used in clinical testing of the olfactory system (Cowart 1989;Koskinen et al 2004;Philpott et al 2009). They have overlapping and distinct molecular features (functional groups, molecular shapes) that have been associated with odors (Moncrieff 1967;Mori et al 2006).…”

“…For example, the ‘‘Filemaker’’ based software ‘‘OLAF’’ guides the patient through any user-defined arrangement of the various portions of the test battery [ 30 ]. Other automated test systems have also been proposed [ 14 , 22 , 31 , 32 ]. Moreover, the test cohort used the shorter versions of Discrimination and Threshold tests to save testing time and prevent subjects getting tired.…”

“…11 In the United Kingdom, the semiautomated Leicester olfactometer was devised to provide a simple, reliable, and cost-effective method of assessing olfactory thresholds. 12 Recently, the Self-Administered Computerized Olfactory Testing System (SCOTS; Sensonics, International, Haddon Heights, NJ) was developed in the United States. 13 It uses the same odorant (PEA) and the same two-alternative forced-choice single-staircase detection threshold procedure as the STT.…”
