Article Abstract
Objective: This review aims to evaluate the correlation between anxiety, depression, and self-perceived hoarseness in patients with dysphonia.
Study Design: Systematic review.
Methods: A systematic search of Medline, PubMed, and Cochrane databases was performed. Studies focusing on the relationship between anxiety, depression, and self-reported voice measures in dysphonic patients were included, while duplicates, incomplete data, animal studies, and reviews were excluded, following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta Analyses guidelines.
Results: Of the 416 articles identified, 24 papers were reviewed. Eleven studies met the inclusion criteria and were included. Most studies used the Voice Handicap Index (VHI), VHI-10, and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale as assessment tools. The studies demonstrated a positive correlation of varying degrees between anxiety, depression, and self-perceived hoarseness, except for patients with spasmodic dysphonia in one study.
Conclusion: This review highlights significant positive correlation between anxiety, depression, and self-perceived hoarseness, emphasizing the importance of early identification and treatment of mental health issues to improve patient outcomes.
