Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine the difference and correlation between the Vocal Fatigue Index (VFI) and the Voice Fatigue Handicap Questionnaire (VFHQ) among individuals with and without voice disorders.

Study design: Observational study.

Methods: This study was performed from June to December 2021. A total of 308 people were enrolled, including 72 men and 236 women. Questionnaire scores were obtained for both the VFI and the VFHQ. The Mann-Whitney U test and Spearman correlational analysis were used to analyze the data.

Results: Of the 308 participants, 186 had a voice disorder and 122 did not. The most common voice disorders were chronic laryngitis and vocal fold polyps. The VFI and VFHQ scores differed between groups with and without voice disorders and between men and women. The VFHQ total score correlated significantly with all subscale scores of the VFHQ and with the VFI factor scores.

Conclusions: People with voice disorders have significantly worse voice-related quality of life and more severe vocal fatigue symptoms than those without. The scores on the VFI and VFHQ correlate significantly.

嗓音疲劳指数（VFI）和嗓音疲劳障碍问卷（VFHQ）在嗓音疾病患者和非嗓音疾病患者中的比较和相关性研究。

研究目的本研究旨在探讨嗓音疲劳指数（VFI）和嗓音疲劳障碍问卷（VFHQ）在有嗓音障碍者和无嗓音障碍者中的差异和相关性：研究设计：观察性研究：研究时间：2021 年 6 月至 12 月。共有 308 人参加了研究，其中男性 72 人，女性 236 人。获得了 VFI 和 VFHQ 的问卷分数。数据分析采用 Mann-Whitney U 检验和 Spearman 相关分析：在 308 名参与者中，186 人有嗓音障碍，122 人没有。最常见的嗓音疾病是慢性喉炎和声带息肉。嗓音失调组和非嗓音失调组之间以及男性和女性之间的 VFI 和 VFHQ 分数存在差异。VFHQ总分与VFHQ的所有分量表得分以及VFI因子得分有显著相关性：结论：与没有嗓音疾病的人相比，有嗓音疾病的人与嗓音相关的生活质量明显更差，发声疲劳症状也更严重。VFI 和 VFHQ 的得分有显著相关性。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Systematic Palaeontology publishes papers that provide novel and impactful results in phylogenetics and systematics and that use these results in ways that significantly advance rigorous analyses of palaeogeography, palaeobiology, functional morphology, palaeoecology or biostratigraphy. Papers dealing with theoretical issues or molecular phylogenetics are also considered if they are of relevance to palaeo-systematists. Contributions that include substantial anatomical descriptions, descriptions of new taxa or taxonomic revisions are welcome, but must also include a substantial systematics component, such as a new phylogeny or a revised higher-level classification. Papers dealing primarily with alpha-taxonomic descriptions, the presentation of new faunal/floristic records or minor revisions to species- or genus-level classifications do not fall within the remit of the journal.
