Quality control after phonosurgery is important and may be time consuming. Often questionnaires focusing on quality of life are applied. We aimed at investigating the use of organ specific symptoms, such as hoarseness and voice failure with the use of self-reported visual analogue scales (VAS) and Likert-scales.
A vocal surgical questionnaire using VAS and Likert-scales for hoarseness, voice failure and factors that could influence voice quality was given twice consecutively to a group of healthy volunteers ( = 57, 45 female) and a group of voice patients ( = 34, 21 females) for a test/re-test study. Secondly, a group of patients undergoing surgery ( = 90, 61females) answered the questionnaire preoperatively and postoperatively. The difference between test/retest, healthy volunteers and patients, and between pre- and postoperative results were compared.
There was no significant difference in the test/retest results in healthy volunteers nor in the patient group. There was statistically significant difference between the healthy volunteers and patients, and between the preoperative and postoperative results after phonosurgery.
This short and organ specific questionnaire clearly demonstrates the effect of phonosurgery, making it an easy and relevant tool in quality control and potentially reducing the need of postoperative controls in the outpatient clinic.
嗓音外科手术后的质量控制很重要，且可能耗时。通常会采用聚焦生活质量的问卷。我们旨在研究使用自我报告的视觉模拟量表（VAS）和李克特量表来调查特定器官症状的使用情况，如声音嘶哑和发声障碍。
一份针对声音嘶哑、发声障碍以及可能影响嗓音质量因素的使用VAS和李克特量表的嗓音外科调查问卷，连续两次发给一组健康志愿者（n = 57，45名女性）和一组嗓音患者（n = 34，21名女性）进行重测研究。其次，一组接受手术的患者（n = 90，61名女性）在术前和术后回答问卷。比较了重测、健康志愿者与患者之间以及术前和术后结果之间的差异。
健康志愿者组和患者组的重测结果均无显著差异。健康志愿者与患者之间以及嗓音外科手术后的术前和术后结果之间存在统计学显著差异。
这份简短且针对特定器官的问卷清楚地展示了嗓音外科手术的效果，使其成为质量控制中一种简便且相关的工具，并有可能减少门诊术后复查的需求。
