Abstract:
Objective To study the relationship between voice acoustic analysis(VAA) and voice handicap index (VHI) in patients with vocal cord polyps,and to investigate the characteristic of the VHI.Methods 35 subjects with normal voice and 35 patients with vocal cord polyps underwent VHI,were tested by VAA.Results The parameters such as APQ、jitter、shimmer、NHR in patients with vocal cord polys were much higher than those in the normal voice group.The average score of VHI was 43.32?4.66,while the average score of the normal voice group was 12.51?1.88.There was no correlation between VHI and VAA.Conclusion Since there is no correlation between VHI and VAA in patients with vocal cord polys.One can not speculate the VHI score by the voice acoustic analysis.
