“…Auditory perceptual evaluation is subjective and influenced by several factors related to the listener, such as their experience, bias, stimuli and rating procedure being used. [12][13][14] Previous systematic reviews and meta-analyses in conditions such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, 15 dysarthria 16 and stroke 16 17 have provided valuable insight to responsible healthcare professionals. The findings of these reviews can be used for practical and clinical scenarios that aid better assessment and treatment outcomes while managing these conditions.…”

ObjectiveThe primary objective of the present systematic review is to: (1) identify the current vocal tasks being used for acoustic and/or auditory perceptual analysis to differentiate between individuals with and without voice disorders. The secondary objectives are to: (2) evaluate the evidence of the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of those vocal tasks for acoustic and/or auditory perceptual analysis in discriminating the individuals with voice disorders from those without; and (3) compare the values between the vocal tasks in discriminating individuals with voice disorders from those without.Method and analysisWe search the following electronic databases: MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science Core Collection, PubMed Central and Google Scholar. Grey literature searches will include ProQuest Dissertations and Theses, ClinicalTrials.gov and the Cochrane Register of Controlled Trials. Websites of professional organisations and textbooks will be hand searched for relevant information related to the research question. Study screening, selection and data extraction will be conducted independently by two reviewers. Any disagreements will be resolved by discussion or by involving a third reviewer.The methodological quality of the included studies will be appraised using the relevant Critical Appraisal Tools by JBI. The clinical guidelines and recommendations for voice assessment by professional bodies will be appraised using the Reporting Items for practice Guidelines in HealThcare (RIGHT) checklist. The findings will be presented in the form of an information matrix with the tasks identified tabulated against the nature of the task, dimensions being tested, and their accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity in identifying individuals with voice problems.Ethics and disseminationFormal ethics approval is not required. The findings will be presented at national and international conferences and published in a peer-reviewed journal.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42023431634.
