“…The available patient-reported techniques exhibit disparate methodological rigor, revealing significant thematic deficiencies: (a) insufficient patient involvement in the item development process, (b) lack of robust construct validity, and (c) unclear interpretability and scaling. These shortcomings make the patientreported techniques susceptible to bias, thereby diminishing their clinical usefulness [2,5]. The laryngeal dysfunction of ADSD patients is often characterized by intermittent laryngeal spasms and glottic/supraglottic compression with a flexible laryngoscopy.…”

Introduction: Adductor spasmodic dysphonia (ADSD) is characterized by involuntary laryngeal muscle spasms. Due to the lack of a quantitative evaluation method, most measurements have demonstrated difficulty in validity and reliability for diagnosing ADSD. This study aimed to establish a novel indicator for ADSD and determine its diagnostic effects. Methods: We investigated 98 voice samples from 49 patients with ADSD and 49 healthy subjects. A sustained vowel was recorded by a high-definition audio recorder. Voice samples underwent regular acoustic evaluation and a novel global dimension method. Global dimension (GD), Jitter, Shimmer, HNR, Frequency shift, and CPPS were measured for both groups. Results: Statistical analysis revealed that the global dimension method effectively differentiated ADSD patients from healthy subjects (P<0.001, D’>0.8). Subsequent multiclass receiver operating characteristic analysis demonstrated that GD possessed the most significant classification accuracy (AUC = 0.988) compared with other acoustic parameters. Conclusion: GD was an effective metric for objective differentiation between ADSD patients and healthy subjects. This metric could assist clinicians in the diagnosis of ADSD patients.

Purpose Systematic reviews evaluating and comparing the measurement properties of outcome measurement instruments (OMIs) play an important role in OMI selection. Earlier overviews of review quality (2007, 2014) evidenced substantial concerns with regards to alignment to scientific standards. This overview aimed to investigate whether the quality of recent systematic reviews of OMIs lives up to the current scientific standards. Methods One hundred systematic reviews of OMIs published from June 1, 2021 onwards were randomly selected through a systematic literature search performed on March 17, 2022 in MEDLINE and EMBASE. The quality of systematic reviews was appraised by two independent reviewers. An updated data extraction form was informed by the earlier studies, and results were compared to these earlier studies’ findings. Results A quarter of the reviews had an unclear research question or aim, and in 22% of the reviews the search strategy did not match the aim. Half of the reviews had an incomprehensive search strategy, because relevant search terms were not included. In 63% of the reviews (compared to 41% in 2014 and 30% in 2007) a risk of bias assessment was conducted. In 73% of the reviews (some) measurement properties were evaluated (58% in 2014 and 55% in 2007). In 60% of the reviews the data were (partly) synthesized (42% in 2014 and 7% in 2007); evaluation of measurement properties and data syntheses was not conducted separately for subscales in the majority. Certainty assessments of the quality of the total body of evidence were conducted in only 33% of reviews (not assessed in 2014 and 2007). The majority (58%) did not make any recommendations on which OMI (not) to use. Conclusion Despite clear improvements in risk of bias assessments, measurement property evaluation and data synthesis, specifying the research question, conducting the search strategy and performing a certainty assessment remain poor. To ensure that systematic reviews of OMIs meet current scientific standards, more consistent conduct and reporting of systematic reviews of OMIs is needed.
