Abstrakt: Objective:Physicians rarely assess smell function, largely because of time considerations. Therefore, there is clinical need for very brief cranial nerve I screening tests. Although a few such tests exist, none have been adequately validated. The goal of this study was to empirically assess the utility of a three‐item microencapsulated odor identification test in detecting olfactory dysfunction.
