Utility of Laryngeal High-speed Videoendoscopy in Clinical Voice Assessment.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to assess the utility of laryngeal high-speed videoendoscopy (HSV) as a clinical tool.

Design

This is a prospective study of 151 patients.

Methods

A total of 151 adult patients (52 male, 99 female) underwent both videoendoscopy with stroboscopy (videostroboscopy) and HSV examination as part of a routine clinical voice assessment. At the time of the examination, ratings for videostroboscopy were reported in the clinical report. Next, the clinicians reviewed the HSV examination and indicated the changes in ratings of HSV relative to videostroboscopy. Finally, the clinical reports were reviewed by a clinician not involved in data collection or clinical care of the patients and noted differences between videostroboscopy and HSV clinical ratings,
