“…In population-based data provided by the National Health Insurance Service of South Korea, middle-aged individuals showed the highest prevalence of BVFLs, which is similar to our results in this study. However, in the 2014 data of that study, the peak age of prevalence shifted from the 50s to the 60s compared with previous data [ 1 ]. That was judged to reflect an increase in the healthy life expectancy.…”

“…Benign vocal fold lesions (BVFLs) are a complex of common otolaryngological diseases that cause voice problems; their prevalence in previous population-based studies was reported to be 7%–12% [ 1 , 2 ]. BVFLs include laryngitis, which accounts for the largest proportion, as well as vocal nodules, vocal polyps, vocal cysts, and Reinke’s edema.…”

Objectives: Voice abuse in noisy environments can result in voice disorders. However, there are insufficient studies to differentiate vocal cord lesions through laryngoscopic examination for workers in noisy environments. This study investigated the relationship between a history of noise exposure in the workplace and benign vocal fold lesions (BVFLs).Methods: We used Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data from 2010 to 2012. Chi-square testing was used to compare characteristics between two groups according to the presence or absence of BVFLs. To investigate the association between BVFLs and noise exposure in the workplace, we calculated adjusted odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using multiple logistic regression analyses.Results: 10,170 participants with available laryngoscopy results were enrolled. Smoking history, hypertension, diabetes, and exposure to noise for more than 3 months at the workplace were significantly higher in the group with BVFLs. After adjusting for age, sex, smoking, drinking, obesity, hypertension, diabetes, income, education, and occupation as confounders, we confirmed that BVFLs were 1.52 times more likely to occur in the group with occupational noise exposure (95% CI: 1.157–1.990).Conclusion: Working in a noisy environment could induce BVFLs in workers through voice abuse. Social recognition that a noisy environment is a risk factor for BVFLs needs to be improved, and prevention measures should be implemented.

“…Aproximadamente el 30% de la población se puede ver afectada por un desorden de voz en algún momento de su vida, causando impacto negativo en su salud mental, física, emocional, así como, en su economía (Roy et al, 2005). La causa de la disfonía en el 22% de los pacientes se debe a la presencia de lesiones benignas en los pliegues vocales, siendo las más usuales los nódulos vocales, pólipo y quiste vocal (Jung et al, 2020).…”

La ii Jornada de actualización en Fonoaudiología: Abordaje clínico interdisciplinario de la deglución y la voz se celebró el 26 y 27 de octubre de 2020, organizada por el Programa de Fonoaudiología de la Escuela de Medicina de Ciencias de Salud, fue desarrollada en el marco de una convocatoria institucional interna Beca Virtual Exchange de la Universidad del Rosario, que tiene como objetivo convocar a comunidades académicas y compartir experiencias desde diferentes regiones nacionales e internacionales, en este tiempo de la pandemia a nivel mundial. El objetivo de la ii Jornada de actualización en Fonoaudiología: Abordaje clínico interdisciplinario de la deglución y la voz fue crear un espacio colaborativo de aprendizaje entre los profesores del Programa de Fonoaudiología de la Universidad del Rosario y la Facultad de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto de la Universidade de São Paulo – Brasil, quienes participaron como coorganizadores en esta ii Jornada de actualización en Fonoaudiología, promoviendo la práctica basada en la evidencia por medio del intercambio de conocimientos entre los fonoaudiólogos y profesionales de ciencias de la salud de la comunidad rosarista y de diferentes lugares de Colombia y el mundo. ii Jornada de actualización en Fonoaudiología: Abordaje clínico interdisciplinario de la deglución y la voz, tuvo una variedad de temáticas, que fueron exploradas en las diferentes conferencias y que fueron resumidas por los siete conferencistas invitados en estas memorias.

“…Some types of dysphonia are caused by lesions that can or should be surgically treated, such as benign lesions of the vocal folds: cysts, polyps, nodules, Reinke's edema, sulci, among others, 1 pre-malignant and malignant lesions, 2 and neurogenic disorders. According to Jung et al, 3 the prevalence of benign vocal fold lesions in South Korea in 2015 was 12.47% and the incidence was 7.98%. According to Schultz, 4 half of laryngeal cancer cases involve the vocal folds.…”
