The purpose of this investigation was to describe the occurrence of laryngeal pathologies and their distribution across age, sex, and race in a pediatric sample. Data were collected on 731 patients seeking evaluation or treatment at a children's hospital otolaryngology clinic. The most frequent laryngeal pathologies were subglottic stenosis, vocal nodules, laryngomalacia, and vocal fold paralysis. For the total sample, laryngeal pathologies were significantly more common to males than females. Laryngeal pathologies were most common in the youngest patients. The distribution of pathologies within each race was similar to that found throughout the total sample. Comparisons with similar investigations are made. Implications for management are discussed.
本研究的目的是描述儿科样本中喉部疾病的发生情况及其在年龄、性别和种族中的分布。收集了731名在儿童医院耳鼻喉科诊所寻求评估或治疗的患者的数据。最常见的喉部疾病是声门下狭窄、声带小结、喉软化症和声带麻痹。在整个样本中，男性喉部疾病的发生率明显高于女性。喉部疾病在最年幼的患者中最为常见。每个种族内部疾病的分布与整个样本中的分布相似。与类似研究进行了比较。并讨论了其管理意义。
