UPSIT subitems may predict motor progression in Parkinson’s disease

Frontiers in Neurology, 2023
BackgroundThe relationship between hyposmia and motor progression is controversial in Parkinson’s disease (PD). The aim of this study was to investigate whether preserved identification of Chinese-validated University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification

The Middle Turbinate Resection and Its Repercussion in Olfaction with the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT) [PDF]

International Archives of Otorhinolaryngology, 2018
Introduction Nasal obstruction is a common complaint, and, for some, the middle turbinate resection is still a controversial issue among the surgical options due to the possibility of deleterious effects on olfaction. The University of Pennsylvania smell

Olfactory testing in children using objective tools: Comparison of Sniffin’ Sticks and University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT) [PDF]

Journal of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 2015
Background Detection of olfactory dysfunction is important for fire and food safety. Clinical tests of olfaction have been developed for adults but their use in children has been limited because they were felt to be unreliable in children under six years

Development of a simplified smell test to identify Parkinson’s disease using multiple cohorts, machine learning and item response theory [PDF]

npj Parkinson's Disease
To develop a simplified smell test for identifying patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD), we reevaluated the Sniffin’-Sticks-Identification-Test (SST-ID) and University-of-Pennsylvania-Smell-Identification-Test (UPSIT), using three case-control studies.

The Utility of Olfactory Testing to Discriminate Parkinson's Disease From Diagnostic Mimics: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. [PDF]

Eur J Neurol
ABSTRACT Background Hyposmia is present in most patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), whereas olfaction is usually preserved in its diagnostic mimics. To address the limited evidence from smaller studies, we conducted a meta‐analysis on the diagnostic accuracy of olfactory testing in differentiating PD from clinical look‐alikes.

Longitudinal Neuroimaging Reveals Divergent Clinical Associations of Glymphatic Dysfunction and Dopaminergic Degeneration in Parkinson's Disease. [PDF]

Hum Brain Mapp
Both DTI‐ALPS and DAT‐SBR index in patients with PD were significantly lower compared to Healthy Controls, with further reductions observed at the follow‐up. Both DTI‐ALPS and DAT‐SBR index in PD showed significant correlation with different clinical measures, while no significant correlation was observed between these two index.

Screening performance of abbreviated versions of the UPSIT smell test [PDF]

Journal of Neurology, 2018
ABSTRACTBackgroundHyposmia features in several neurodegenerative conditions, including Parkinson’s disease (PD). The University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT) is a widely used screening tool for detecting hyposmia, but is time-consuming and expensive when used on a large scale.MethodsWe assessed shorter subsets of UPSIT items for ...

Long-Term Test–Retest Reliability of the UPSIT in Cognitively Intact Older Adults [PDF]

Chemical Senses, 2019
Abstract The objective of this study was to determine the long-term test–retest reliability of the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT), and its individual items, in cognitively intact older adults. A community sample of older adults received a neuropsychological test battery, including the 12-item, 6-trial ...
