“…The prevalence of BVFL has been reported to be 2.5%À7.7% in previous national epidemiologic studies in the United States and South Korea. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] In South Korea, the prevalence data collected for BVFL can be considered accurate, having been collected from 4600 households annually from 2008 to 2011 by the Korea National Health and Nutritional Examination survey (KNHANES). A correlation of demographic and associated characteristics with voice problems has been previously reported in this survey.…”

“…The correlation between V-RQOL and D ( Table 3 ) clearly provides evidence of the impact of dysphonia on patient quality of life 25 , 26 , 27 , even when these scores were not especially high. The impact of dysphonia on different populations should also be considered.…”

“…For this reason, our sample included individuals of both genders and a broad age range (7 to 84 years); however, most of the participants were female and exhibited organic dysphonia. According to reports in the scientific literature, in addition to the anatomical and physiological issues that predispose women to voice disorders 21 , women seek medical care more often than men 23 , 24 ; furthermore, some voice disorders are more prevalent in female patients 25 . Kopf et al 17 analyzed 30 cases of dysphonia and found that the most common diagnoses in women were muscle tension, functional disorders, and mass lesions of the vocal folds.…”

OBJECTIVES:To characterize the voice quality of individuals with dysphonia and to investigate possible correlations between the degree of voice deviation (D) and scores on the Dysphonia Risk Screening Protocol-General (DRSP), the Voice-Related Quality of Life (V-RQOL) measure and the Voice Handicap Index, short version (VHI-10).METHODS:The sample included 200 individuals with dysphonia. Following laryngoscopy, the participants completed the DRSP, the V-RQOL measure, and the VHI-10; subsequently, voice samples were recorded for auditory-perceptual and acoustic analyses. The correlation between the score for each questionnaire and the overall degree of vocal deviation was analyzed, as was the correlation among the scores for the three questionnaires.RESULTS:Most of the participants (62%) were female, and the mean age of the sample was 49 years. The most common laryngeal diagnosis was organic dysphonia (79.5%). The mean D was 59.54, and the predominance of roughness had a mean of 54.74. All the participants exhibited at least one abnormal acoustic aspect. The mean questionnaire scores were DRSP, 44.7; V-RQOL, 57.1; and VHI-10, 16. An inverse correlation was found between the V-RQOL score and D; however, a positive correlation was found between both the VHI-10 and DRSP scores and D.CONCLUSION:A predominance of adult women, organic dysphonia, moderate voice deviation, high dysphonia risk, and low to moderate quality of life impact characterized our sample. There were correlations between the scores of each of the three questionnaires and the degree of voice deviation. It should be noted that the DRSP monitored the degree of dysphonia severity, which reinforces its applicability for patients with different laryngeal diagnoses.

“…The lifetime prevalence in professional voice users such as teachers may be around 57%, and thus substantially higher as compared low voice users. [1][2][3][4][5] Voice disorders may be caused from changes in the innervation, structure or function of the phonatory system. 6 Organic voice disorders refer to restrictions of voice quality or vocal performance due to structural alterations of the vocal folds or neurogenic causes, whereas so-called functional voice disorders are characterized by the absence of structural and neurogenic etiologies.…”

Cervical Spine Disability in Correlation with Subjective Voice Handicap in Patients With Voice Disorders: A Retrospective Analysis

OBJECTIVE Neck muscle dysfunction has been considered as risk factor or consequence of voice disorders. This study investigates the correlation between neck and voice-related subjective symptoms in patients with voice disorders. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective case-control study. METHODS 100 adult patients (59 female and 41 male) over 18 years with a mean age of 50.01 years (SD 16, range 24-87), of which 68 were under 60 years, were included. 50 patients had organic voice pathologies and 50 functional dysphonia. Outcome measures were the Voice Handicap Index 9 international (VHI-9i) and the Neck Disability Index (NDI-G). Spearman rank order coefficient was applied to determine the correlation between overall and single item VHI and NDI results. Subanalyses were done for functional vs. organic disorder, gender and age ± 60 years. RESULTS Mean overall VHI-9i (13.93, SD = 7.81, range = 0-31) and mean NDI-G (6.07, SD = 7.71, range = 0-43) showed a significant mild correlation (r = 0.220, P = 0.02). Split into subgroups the relation was stronger in patients with organic pathologies (r = 0.297, P = 0.03), but not significant in functional disorders (r = 0.148, P = 0.30). There was a moderate relation in men (r = 0.317, P = 0.04). Single item correlation was highest between VHI-9i item P4 (physiological) and NDI-G item reading (cognitive functioning) (r = 0.480, P = 0.002). CONCLUSION Specifically patients with organic voice disorders showed increased voice symptoms with the presence of neck dysfunction. This indicates a risk for a functional imbalance of the muscles surrounding the larynx, which in extreme cases may hinder functional voice rehabilitation even after phonosurgery. Therefore, neck dysfunction should be considered in voice diagnostics.
