Leading causes of dysfunction were Covid-19 (22%), idiopathic (20.8%), and congenital (14.4%). Safety concerns were high (85.9%), with gas, smoke, and food as major worries. Over 5\u00a0years, 32.2% faced \u2265\u20091 food incident, 14.8% \u2265\u20091 gas incident, 34.5% \u2265\u20091 gas scare, and 18.5% \u2265\u20091 work incident. Preventative measures were taken by 60.2% at home.

There is an unmet need in mitigating safety concerns\/events for individuals with olfactory dysfunction. We suggest collaborate strategies such as educating the public sector and high-risk sectors (e.g. gas companies), and introducing safety \u2018scratch and sniff\u2019 cards as a screening method. Regular assessment of an individual\u2019s olfactory ability, similar to routine assessments for other sensory systems (sight, hearing) may allow proactive identification of at-risk people and corrective measures to take place.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00405-024-08529-9","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,23]],"date-time":"2024-02-23T13:01:57Z","timestamp":1708693317000},"page":"3639-3647","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Impact of olfactory disorders on personal safety and well-being: a cross-sectional observational study"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"281","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6883-6870","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Liam","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Louis","family":"Luke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Duncan","family":"Boak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carl","family":"Philpott","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,23]]},"reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"8529_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"130","DOI":"10.1007\/s40136-016-0120-6","volume":"4","author":"J Yang","year":"2016","unstructured":"Yang J, Pinto JM (2016) The epidemiology of olfactory disorders.
