RESUMO Objetivo analisar o impacto na qualidade de vida relacionado à voz de crianças disfônicas e sem alteração vocal, com uma amostra populacional da grande Belo Horizonte – Minas Gerais. Método participaram do estudo 420 indivíduos na faixa etária de seis a 10 anos de idade, cursando o ensino fundamental nas escolas públicas e privadas da cidade. A amostragem foi aleatória, e as crianças, divididas em dois grupos: disfônicas (GD) e sem alteração vocal (G0). A avaliação das vozes das crianças foi realizada por quatro fonoaudiólogas especialistas em voz e com experiência de mais de 10 anos nesta análise, utilizando o parâmetro perceptivo-auditivo de grau geral de disfonia, graduado em quatro pontos. Foi considerada, para a análise dos resultados, a avaliação das vozes das crianças realizada pela fonoaudióloga que apresentou maior concordância intra-avaliador, analisada pela estatística Kappa. O protocolo Qualidade de Vida em Voz Pediátrico (QVV-P) foi respondido pelos responsáveis das crianças. Para análise inferencial, foi realizada a análise descritiva dos dados e utilizado o Teste-T de Student. Resultados das crianças avaliadas, 98 eram disfônicas (GD) e 322 não tinham alteração vocal (G0). A análise dos três Escores do QVV-P não apresentou diferença para os grupos testados (GD e G0). Também não foi observada diferença nos valores do QVV-P, considerando-se o grau de desvio vocal. Conclusão crianças disfônicas não apresentam impacto negativo na qualidade de vida relacionada à voz, considerando-se a resposta do informante secundário.

“…Although AVQI was originally developed for Dutch speakers, this model has been validated and found reliable in different languages including native German [10], native English in pediatric population [11], and multilingual persons speaking Dutch, English, German and French [12]. Based on the results of these studies, AVQI seems to be crosslinguistically robust in Germanic languages.…”

“…Voice assessments typically involve auditory perceptual measures, quality-of-life assessments, and acoustic analysis, although the latter is rarely reported in children and has not been validated in the pediatric population. 25,26 It is apparent that children as young as 5 are capable of reflecting on the social, emotional, and physical aspects of their voice abnormalities, and consequent negative emotional experiences have been reported. 27 Among other things, children with chronic dysphonia cite concerns with participation limitation, negative evaluation of their voice quality by others in their social and academic environments, and managing emotions, such as frustration.…”

WHAT'S KNOWN ON THIS SUBJECT: Isolated case reports of abnormal voice after extremely preterm birth are well described; however, there are no systematic studies of long-term voice outcomes in children born preterm.WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS: Significant voice abnormalities were found in more than half of tested children born before 25 weeks' gestation. Multivariable analyses showed that the number of intubations, not the duration of intubation, and female gender were strongly associated with this adverse outcome. abstract BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Voice abnormality is a frequent finding in school age children born at ,25 weeks' gestation in Western Australia. The objective of this study was to determine the frequency of voice abnormality, voice-related quality of life, and demographic and intubation factors in this population. METHODS:Survivors ,25 weeks' gestational age in Western Australia born from 1996 to 2004 were included. Voice assessments (auditory perceptual assessment scale and Pediatric Voice Handicap Index) were carried out by speech pathologists. Intubation history was obtained by retrospective chart review. RESULTS:Of 251 NICU admissions, 154 (61%) survived. Exclusions were based on severe disability (11) or distant residence (13). Of 70 assessed, 67 completed assessments, 4 (6%) were in the normal range and 39 (58%) showed moderate-severe hoarseness. Simultaneous modeling of demographic and intubation characteristics showed an increased odds of moderate-severe voice disorder for children who had more than 5 intubations (odds ratio 6.96, 95% confidence interval 2.07-23.40, P = .002) and for girls relative to boys (odds ratio 3.46, 95% confidence interval 1.12-10.62, P = .030). Tube size and duration of intubation were not significant in the multivariable model. Median scores of parent-reported voice quality of life on the Pediatric Voice Handicap Index were markedly different for preterm (22) and term (3) groups, P , .001. CONCLUSIONS:Voice disorders in this population were much more frequent than expected. Further studies are required to assess voice across a broader range of gestational ages, and to investigate voiceprotective strategies in infants requiring multiple episodes of intubation.
