Psychometric Evaluation of the Importance of Olfaction Questionnaire Using Item Response Theory
- 1Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery Medical University of Vienna Vienna Austria
Abstract
Key Points: The IOQ measures the value patients place on olfaction, a construct distinct from disease burden.
The IOQ is most precise across the central trait range typical of routine ENT patients.
Association items carry most measurement information, enabling a brief affective screen.
