Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this study was to validate the Acoustic Voice Quality Index (AVQI) version 3.01 in the Turkish-speaking population.

Materials and methods: Concatenated voice samples of the sustained vowel [a:] and continuous speech were collected from 127 dysphonic and 128 normophonic participants. The auditory-perceptual evaluation was performed by five experienced raters using the Grade parameter of the Grade, Roughness, Breathiness, Asthenia, Strain scale. Rater reliability, concurrent validity, diagnostic accuracy, and differences between normophonic and dysphonic groups were analyzed for the AVQI version 3.01.

Results: The number of syllables for the standardized reading text with the concatenation of the voiced parts lasting around 3 seconds (mean = 3.84 seconds) was 36. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) values of intra-rater reliability of G scores of five raters were excellent (mean ICC = 0.934), and of inter-rater reliability, they varied between moderate and excellent (mean ICC = 0.786). AVQIv3 demonstrated a high diagnostic accuracy with area under receiver-operating characteristic curve = 0.906 in identifying disrupted versus normal voice quality. With sensitivity of 80% and specificity of 94%, AVQIv3 = 2.345 was the cutoff point that differentiated most accurately between normophonic and dysphonic voices in Turkish.

Conclusion: AVQIv3 is an ecologically valid tool for objective differentiation between dysphonic and normal voices in the Turkish language.

验证土耳其语语音质量指数 03.01 版。

研究目的本研究的目的是在讲土耳其语的人群中验证 3.01 版声学嗓音质量指数 (AVQI)：收集了 127 名发音障碍者和 128 名正常发音者的持续元音 [a:] 和连续语音的合并语音样本。由五位经验丰富的评分员使用等级、粗糙度、呼吸感、气喘、紧张量表中的等级参数进行听觉感知评估。对 AVQI 3.01 版的评分者可靠性、并发有效性、诊断准确性以及正常嗓音组和发音障碍组之间的差异进行了分析：标准阅读文本的音节数为 36 个，发声部分的连读时间约为 3 秒（平均值 = 3.84 秒）。五位评分者 G 评分的评分者内部信度的类内相关系数（ICC）值为极好（平均 ICC = 0.934），评分者之间的信度介于中等和极好之间（平均 ICC = 0.786）。AVQIv3 的诊断准确率很高，其接收器工作特征曲线下面积 = 0.906，可识别嗓音质量紊乱与正常。AVQIv3 = 2.345 是区分土耳其语正常嗓音和发音障碍嗓音最准确的临界点，灵敏度为 80%，特异度为 94%：AVQIv3 是客观区分土耳其语发音障碍和正常嗓音的生态有效工具。
