Abstract

Introduction  Benign vocal fold lesions (BVFLs) disrupt the superficial lamina propria, impacting vocal fold pliability. Investigating the diagnostic competency of ear, nose, and throat (ENT) residents in identifying BVFLs, we hypothesize that factors such as residency year, subspecialty focus, and training center influence diagnostic accuracy. Objectives  To assess the accuracy of diagnosis of BVFLs among ENT residents and to correlate diagnostic accuracy with the year of residency. Methods  An observational cross-sectional study included all ENT residents in Saudi Arabia. It was performed in August and September 2021 using a self-administered online questionnaire that assessed demographic variables and included three images with open-ended questions on diagnosing vocal fold lesions. Results  A total of 61 ENT residents (62.3% male) were included in this study. The images of vocal fold cyst, vocal fold polyp, and vocal fold nodule were correctly diagnosed by 60.7%, 88.5%, and 91.8% of residents, respectively. There was a correlation between the year of residency and the accuracy of diagnosing a vocal fold cyst ( p  = 0.029). Residents interested in laryngology correctly diagnosed all three lesions more frequently than other residents. Conclusion  The ability of residents to diagnose vocal fold cysts was moderate. In particular, the senior residents were able to diagnose polyps and nodules with excellent accuracy.

耳鼻喉科住院医师诊断良性声带褶皱病变的准确性。
导言:良性声带病变(BVFLs)会破坏浅层固有膜,影响声带的柔韧性。在调查耳鼻喉科住院医师识别 BVFL 的诊断能力时,我们假设住院医师年级、亚专科重点和培训中心等因素会影响诊断的准确性。目的 评估耳鼻喉科住院医师诊断 BVFL 的准确性,并将诊断准确性与住院医师年限相关联。方法 这是一项观察性横断面研究,包括沙特阿拉伯的所有耳鼻喉科住院医师。研究于 2021 年 8 月和 9 月进行,采用自填式在线问卷调查,评估人口统计学变量,包括三张图片和有关声带病变诊断的开放式问题。结果 共有 61 名耳鼻喉科住院医师(62.3% 为男性)参与了这项研究。分别有 60.7%、88.5% 和 91.8% 的住院医师正确诊断出声带囊肿、声带息肉和声带小结。声带囊肿的诊断准确率与住院医师的年级有关(P = 0.029)。与其他住院医师相比,对喉科感兴趣的住院医师对这三种病变的正确诊断率更高。结论 住院医师诊断声带囊肿的能力一般。尤其是高年资住院医师能够非常准确地诊断出息肉和声带小结。
