We aimed to assess the equivalence of translations Voice Handicap Index (VHI).Confirmatory factor analysis was used US version and several including (1) Dutch, (2) Flemish Dutch (Belgium), (3) UK English, (4) French, (5) German, (6) Italian, (7) Portuguese (8) Swedish. VHI questionnaires were gathered from 1,281 subjects. Patients classified into 11 voice lesion categories. with incomplete response (4%) patients within categories small numbers excluded further analyses, leaving a cohort...
Objective To evaluate the effects of neurostimulation with laryngeal pacemaker (LP) system in patients bilateral vocal fold paralysis (BVFP) terms voice quality and respiratory function. Study Design Feasibility study, first‐in‐human, single‐arm, open‐label, prospective, multicenter study group‐sequential design 6‐month follow‐up period, as described details our previous publication. Methods Nine symptomatic BVFP subjects were unilaterally implanted LP at three sites Germany Austria....
Constructing an internationally applicable short-scale of the Voice Handicap Index (VHI).Subjects were 1,052 patients with 5 different types voice disorder groups from Belgium, France, Sweden, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Portugal, and USA. Different 9- 12-item subsets selected 30 VHI items using (1) first factor unrotated analysis (narrow range subsets) (2) three factors after promax rotation (broad subsets). Country-specific to test deviations international subsets. For all subsets,...
Objectives/Hypothesis Bilateral vocal fold paralysis (BVFP) is a rare but life-threatening condition mostly caused by iatrogenic damage to the peripheral recurrent laryngeal nerve. Endoscopic enlargement techniques have been standard treatment for decades. However, prospective studies using internationally accepted phoniatric and respiratory evaluation guidelines are rare. Study Design Prospective observational multicenter study. Methods Twelve clinical centers screened 61 patients, of whom...

Objectives/Hypothesis To describe postoperative adverse events (AEs) and outcomes after transoral surgery for bilateral vocal fold paralysis (BVFP). Study Design Prospective observational multicenter study. Methods Thirty‐six patients with BVFP underwent using standard surgical procedures to unilaterally widen the glottic area. Postoperative including severe (SAEs) were registered continuously. Pre‐ 6‐month evaluations included 6‐Minute Walk Test, 36‐Item Short Form Health Survey (SF‐36),...
Objectives/Hypothesis To prove the diagnostic value of autofluorescence endoscopy (AFE) and white light laryngostroboscopy (WLS) versus gold standard microlaryngoscopy with histopathological examination in differential diagnostics laryngeal lesions for experienced phoniatricians laryngologists, using PENTAX SAFE‐3000 system. Study Design Exploratory cohort study. Methods High‐resolution rigid WLS was executed 32 consecutive patients initial manifestation benign, precancerous, malignant vocal...
The international nine-item Voice Handicap Index (VHI-9i) is a clinically established short-scale version of the original VHI, quantifying patients’ self-assessed vocal handicap. However, current impairment classification based on percentiles. main goals this study were to establish test–retest reliability and sound statistical basis for VHI-9i severity levels. Between 2009 2021, 17,660 consecutive cases documented. A total 416 pairs 3661 unique with complete multidimensional voice...
Abstract Objectives To compare continuous (C‐IONM) vs intermittent intraoperative neuromonitoring (I‐IONM) in complex benign thyroid surgery, and to follow up patients with loss of signal (LOS) or unilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP). Design Retrospective clinical study, prospective case series. Setting University hospital academic teaching Charité—University Medicine Berlin, Germany. Participants C‐IONM‐ I‐IONM‐assisted surgery was conducted 357 diagnosed recurrent goitre, Graves’...
To collect data on diagnosis, treatment, patient's management, and quality of life in patient with bilateral vocal fold paralysis (BVFP). A retrospective, observational, multicenter registry study was performed. Medical records 326 adults permanent BVFP (median age: 61 years; 70% female, 60% after thyroid surgery) generated between 2010 2017. Median time onset inclusion 1.2 years. post-treatment follow-up 2 months (range: 0-42). Surgery treatment choice 61.7% the cases, a 2-year revision...
Voice range profile (VRP) and evaluation using the dysphonia severity index (DSI) represent essentials of instrument-based objective voice diagnostics are implemented in different standardized registration programs. The respective measurement results, however, show differences. aim study was to prove these differences statistically develop a new parameter, Vocal Extent Measure (VEM), which is not influenced by program. VRPs 97 subjects were recorded two examiners established programs DiVAS...
