Evaluation of subjective symptoms of Japanese patients with multiple chemical sensitivity using QEESI?

摘要

The Quick Environment Exposure Sensitivity Inventory (QEESI?) has been used as a questionnaire to evaluate subjective symptoms of patients with multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS), also known as idiopathic environmental intolerance, in Japan. However, no cutoff value for Japanese subjects has yet been established. We designed this study to establish a cutoff value for Japanese subjects using QEESI? for screening of MCS patients.
