AIM
Down syndrome (DS) involves an extra chromosome 21 and tongue hypotonicity. This study examined reproducibility of tongue pressure measurement (TPM) in DS patients.
METHODS
Thirty patients with DS (13 females) who were able to complete three measurements underwent a tongue pressure test (TPT). Reproducibility was evaluated using intraindividual standard deviation (SD) and coefficient of variation (CV). Patients were divided into two groups based on developmental age (DA): DA ≥ 4 years (over-4 DA) and DA < 4 years (under-4 DA).
RESULTS
Thirty DS patients with a mean age of 33.0 ± 11.7 years and mean DA of 3.8 ± 1.2 years were analyzed. Median tongue pressure was 17.6 kPa, SD was 2.0 kPa, and CV was 11.9. Eleven patients were in the under-4 DA group, and 19 were in the over-4 DA group. Significant differences in speech presence and CV values were observed between the groups (p = 0.002, 0.043).
CONCLUSIONS
The reproducibility of the TPT in DS patients with a DA ≥ 4 years is comparable to that in normal subjects.
目的
唐氏综合征（DS）涉及额外的21号染色体以及舌肌张力减退。本研究检测了DS患者舌压测量（TPM）的可重复性。
方法
30例能够完成三次测量的DS患者（13例女性）接受了舌压测试（TPT）。使用个体内标准差（SD）和变异系数（CV）评估可重复性。根据发育年龄（DA）将患者分为两组：DA≥4岁（4岁以上DA组）和DA<4岁（4岁以下DA组）。
结果
分析了30例平均年龄为33.0±11.7岁、平均DA为3.8±1.2岁的DS患者。舌压中位数为17.6 kPa，SD为2.0 kPa，CV为11.9。4岁以下DA组有11例患者，4岁以上DA组有19例患者。两组之间在言语存在和CV值方面观察到显著差异（p = 0.002，0.043）。
结论
DA≥4岁的DS患者TPT的可重复性与正常受试者相当。
