“…In addition, we showed that pVHI scores were correlated positively with AR severity [19]. Previous studies with adult participants have shown that dysphonia was significantly more prevalent in patients with asthma compared to healthy participitans [5,16,17]. Restricted expiration, decreased lung volume, diaphragm, together with fluctuations in intra-thoracic and intra-abdominal pressures might hypothetically explain the significantly higher prevalence of voice disorders in patients with asthma.…”

“…Restricted expiration, decreased lung volume, diaphragm, together with fluctuations in intra-thoracic and intra-abdominal pressures might hypothetically explain the significantly higher prevalence of voice disorders in patients with asthma. Additionally, mucosal changes due to obstructive respiratory disease, accompanying rhinosinusitis, the influence of laryngopharyngeal reflux and side effects of the inhaled corticosteroids may be responsible for the voice disorders [5,6,16]. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to examine the subjective evaluation of children with asthma using p-VHI and to compare the results with healthy controls.…”

“…Pediatric dysphonia is common in children and have a negative effect on family and social life. A majority of research suggests that patients with asthma display more voice abnormalities than their healthy peers [2][3][4][5][6]. Many studies have focused on the association between inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs) and voice changes.…”

“…A recent study also demonstrated that there was no significant connection between having an asthma diagnosis and having frequently occurring vocal symptoms [6]. There is limited valid and reliable information in objective and subjective studies on voice disorders in asthma and these are based upon studies of the adult population [5]. In addition to objective tests such as acoustic and aerodynamic testing, subjective tests such as voice handicap index can be performed in evaluation voice disorders.…”

Aim: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the voice quality in children with asthma by subjective methods. Material and Method: Children with mildto-severe asthma (n=91) and age-sex matched healthy controls (n=79) without present or past history of voice disorders were included in the study. The Turkish version of the Pediatric Voice Handicap Index (pVHI) was used to access the impact on functional, physical, and emotional aspects of voice and oral communication. Results: A significant difference was noted between patients with asthma and controls with regard to pVHI scores. Indicating a greater chance of voice disorders was observed in patients with asthma (P<0.005). The scores of three domains and the total score of pVHI were prevalent in children with asthma. In addition, as the severity of asthma increased, high scores of pVHI were observed (p:0.01). Discussion: Our study showed that children with asthma had higher scores on pVHI compared to healthy children, indicating a greater likelihood of the development of voice complaints. A positive correlation was found between the severity of asthma and pVHI scores Keywords Pediatric; Voice Handicap Index; Asthma | The Annals of Clinical and Analytical Medicine Voice handicap index in asthma

“…16 The results of this study conflict with the study done by Abdul et al which indicated no significant differences in MPD value in normal and asthma patient. 17 Also the result of this study indicated that experimental group had to put more effort to phonate compared to normal group. The prevalence of reduced phonation time in asthma and tuberculosis group can be explained on several bases: one is impaired expiration in both asthma and tuberculosis and also the restricted breathing which affects the phonation.…”

Introduction: The ability of a person to phonate a sound gets affected in different laryngeal and respiratory pathology which can be measured by the help of two measure called as Maximum Phonation Duration (MPD) and S/Z ratio that helps to assess the efficiency of respiratory and phonatory system. The aim of this study is to measure the MPD and S/Z ratio in Normal, Tuberculosis and Asthma group patient. Methods: The participant included Normal, Asthma and Tuberculosis patient where the recording was made in a quiet room with the help of PRAAT software and the participant were asked to sustain phonation of sound on single breath. Analysis was done with helps of SPSS version 25.0. Results: There was a significant difference noted in MPD of /a/, /i/, /u/ sound between control and experimental group. MPD were significantly shorter in Asthma and Tuberculosis group compared to Normal group with no significant difference in S/Z ratio. Conclusions: Maximum Phonation Duration is more reduced in Asthma and Tuberculosis patient compared to Normal group which indicate Asthma and Tuberculosis patient has to put more effort to phonate a sound.
