Abstract
Purpose of review: This paper outlines the challenges faced by people with smell and taste disorders (SATDs) and why patient advocacy is crucial in addressing these. It includes recent findings in identifying research priorities in SATDs.
Recent findings: A recent Priority Setting Partnership (PSP) conducted with the James Lind Alliance (JLA) has been completed and the top 10 research priorities in SATDs determined. Fifth Sense, a UK charity, has been working alongside patient and healthcare professions to drive awareness, education and research in this area.
Summary: Following the completion of the PSP, Fifth Sense have launched six Research Hubs to take forward these priorities and engage with researchers to carry out and deliver research that directly answers the questions raised by the results of the PSP. The six Research Hubs cover a different aspect of smell and taste disorders. Each hub is led by clinicians and researchers recognised for their expertise in their field, who will act as champions for their respective hub.
期刊介绍:
This journal aims to offer expert review articles on the most significant recent developments in the field of otorhinolaryngology. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions, the journal intends to serve all those involved in the diagnosis and treatment of ear, nose, throat, and head and neck disorders.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas across the field. Section Editors select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An Editorial Board of more than 20 internationally diverse members reviews the annual table of contents, ensures that topics include emerging research, and suggests topics of special importance to their country/region.
Topics covered may include chronic rhinosinusitis; implantable devices; neurolaryngology; otolaryngic allergy; robotic surgery; sleep apnea; skull base surgery; thyroid surgery; and quality and outcomes.
