The voice-related quality of life (V-RQOL) questionnaire was proposed as a disease specific measure of patients' subjective burden elicited by a voice disorder. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of gender and aetiology (benign organic versus functional) on V-RQOL results. Fifty-two German-speaking patients completed the questionnaire without prior information about their individual diagnosis. Results allow for the conclusion that women score lower indicating a poorer voice status. Differences between patients diagnosed with an organic or a functional voice disorder revealed no universal difference. This has to be investigated in future, especially against the degree of the voice disorder, the individual personality, health belief and social background.
嗓音相关生活质量（V-RQOL）问卷被提议作为一种针对嗓音障碍引发的患者主观负担的疾病特异性测量方法。本研究的目的是调查性别和病因（良性器质性与功能性）对V-RQOL结果的影响。52名说德语的患者在未被告知其个人诊断信息的情况下完成了问卷。结果表明，女性得分较低，表明嗓音状况较差。被诊断为器质性或功能性嗓音障碍的患者之间的差异并未显示出普遍差异。这一点未来必须进一步研究，尤其是要结合嗓音障碍的程度、个体性格、健康观念和社会背景来进行研究。
