Ninety-six children attended an 8-week residential summer camp program and were evaluated for hoarseness using a 4 point integral scale. Eighteen percent were hoarse at the start of the camp season and 35% subsequently developed hoarseness during the camping season. Only 4.1% of the children in the first screening and 12.5% of those in the second screening had a moderate degree of hoarseness, while the majority of the hoarse children were judged as having only a mild degree. We believe that children should not be considered for voice screenings until 8 weeks after the start of the school term.
96名儿童参加了一个为期8周的寄宿制夏令营项目,并使用4分积分量表对嗓音嘶哑情况进行了评估。在夏令营开始时,18%的儿童嗓音嘶哑,在夏令营期间,35%的儿童后来出现了嗓音嘶哑。第一次筛查中只有4.1%的儿童以及第二次筛查中12.5%的儿童有中度嗓音嘶哑,而大多数嗓音嘶哑的儿童被判定为仅有轻度嗓音嘶哑。我们认为,在学期开始8周后才应考虑对儿童进行嗓音筛查。
