RESUMO
PURPOSE: To verify the frequency of swallowing complaints in patients with benign nonsurgical thyroid disease and compare the self-perception of swallowing disorder intensity between different types of thyroid disease. METHODS: The study sample comprised 39 women aged 19-58 years (38.54 ± 10.74) with hypothyroidism (n=22; 56.4%) or thyroid nodules (n=17; 43.6%). Presence and type of swallowing complaint and self-perception of swallowing disorder intensity were investigated by means of self-ratings recorded on a 100-millimeter visual analog scale. The data were analyzed by descriptive measures and the Mann-Whitney nonparametric test was used to compare the self-perception of swallowing disorder intensity between both clinical diagnoses of thyroid disease. The level of 5% was adopted for statistical significance. RESULTS: Twenty-six (66.7%) individuals reported the following swallowing complaints: pharyngolaryngeal stasis sensation (37.15%), chocking (34.29%), and odynophagia (28.57%). The mean value of self-perception of swallowing disorder intensity by the visual analog scale was 59.35 (± 27.38) millimeters. No difference in self-perception was reported between the clinical diagnoses of thyroid disease. CONCLUSION: In this sample, swallowing complaint was frequently observed in patients with benign nonsurgical thyroid disease. Moderate self-perception of swallowing disorder intensity was reported regardless of the clinical diagnosis of thyroid disease.

RESUMO Objetivo verificar a frequência de queixa para deglutir em pacientes com doença tireoidiana benigna não cirúrgica e comparar a autopercepção de intensidade da alteração de deglutição em diferentes tipos de doença tireoidiana. Método a amostra do estudo foi composta por 39 mulheres com idades entre 19 e 58 anos (38,54 ± 10,74 anos) e diagnóstico de hipotireoidismo (n=22; 56,4%) ou nódulos tireoidianos (n=17; 43,6%). Investigou-se a presença de queixa, tipo de queixa e autopercepção da intensidade da alteração de deglutição por meio da escala analógico-visual de 100 milímetros. Os dados foram analisados de forma descritiva e para comparar a autopercepção entre os diferentes diagnósticos clínicos utilizamos o teste não paramétrico de Mann-Whitney. O nível de significância foi de 5%. Resultados vinte e seis (66,7%) participantes relataram queixa para deglutir. As queixas referidas foram sensação de estase em região laringofaríngea (37,15%), engasgo (34,29%) e odinofagia (28,57%). O valor médio da autopercepção de intensidade da alteração de deglutição por meio da escala analógico-visual foi 59,35 (± 27,38) milímetros. A autopercepção não foi diferente entre os diagnósticos clínicos de doença tireoidiana. Conclusão nessa amostra, queixas para deglutir foram frequentes em mulheres com doenças tireoidianas benignas não cirúrgicas. Essas pacientes percebem a alteração de forma moderada, independentemente do diagnóstico clínico da patologia tireoidiana.

OBJECTIVE: To identify the relationship between vocal self-assessment, the assessment of voice by a speech-language pathologist (SLP), and the effect of voice on the quality of life of patients with benign thyroid diseases. STUDY DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. SETTING: University hospital. SUBJECTS AND METHOD: A total of 67 women with a mean age of 44.7 ± 14.8 years and a diagnosis of benign thyroid disease were included in the study. Vocal self-assessment and SLP assessment were performed using a visual analogue scale (VAS). The Voice-related Quality of Life Questionnaire (V-RQOL) was used to identify the effect of voice on quality of life. The Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis nonparametric tests were used. Correlations between assessments were verified by the Spearman correlation test. The significance level was 5%. RESULTS: Patients with vocal complaints had lower scores in all assessments. Patients with thyroid nodules performed worse on the SLP assessment and on the physical functioning domain of V-RQOL. A moderate correlation was found between the self-assessment and quality of life and between the physical functioning domain of V-RQOL and the SLP assessment. A weak correlation existed between the self-assessment and the SLP assessment. CONCLUSION: Patients with benign thyroid diseases had lower scores in vocal self-assessment, the clinical evaluation of voice, and the V-RQOL. These dimensions of voice assessment showed correlations ranging from mild to moderate and should complement the clinical routine.

Objetivo comparar a autoavaliação vocal e a avaliação perceptivo-auditiva da voz em mulheres com doença tireoidiana. Métodos o estudo foi realizado com 40 pacientes do sexo feminino, idade média de 49,50±10,40 anos, utilizando a escala analógica-visual (EAV) para realizar a autoavaliação vocal e a análise perceptivo-auditiva pelo fonoaudiólogo. A paciente considerou a emissão habitual do dia a dia na sua autoavaliação e para a análise fonoaudiológica da voz foram gravadas amostras da contagem de 1 a 20. A análise considerou o tamanho total da amostra e também sua categorização grupos de acordo com a presença ou não de queixa e por faixa etária. A análise descritiva das variáveis considerou média, mediana e desvio-padrão. Foram aplicados os testes de Wilcoxon e Mann-Whitney para comparação de médias e o teste de Spearman para testar correlação entre as duas avaliações.O nível de significância foi de 5%. Resultados 19 (47,5%) pacientes relataram queixa de disfonia. A média e desvio-padrão da EAV das pacientes e da EAV do fonoaudiólogo foram 32,58±27,99 e 37,23±15,92, respectivamente, sem diferença estatisticamente significante. Pacientes com queixa vocal apresentaram pior média na autoavaliação quando comparadas às que não tiveram queixa. Não houve diferença estatisticamente significante entre esses grupos em relação à avaliação perceptivo-auditiva. Não foi encontrada correlação estatisticamente significante entre a percepção que a paciente tem sobre sua voz e a avaliação do fonoaudiólogo. Conclusão não houve diferença entre as médias da autoavaliação vocal e da avaliação ...
Purpose to compare the vocal self-assessment and auditory-perceptual assessment of voice in women with thyroid disease. Methods the study was performed in 40 female patients, mean age of 49,50±10,40 years, using a visual-analogue scale (EAV) to perform the vocal self-assessment of voice and auditory-perceptual analysis by speech and language pathologist. The patient considered the usual emission of voice in its self-assessment and for the vocal analysis by speech and language pathologist voice samples was recorded with the patient emission of 1 to 20 counting. Descriptive analysis considered mean, median and standard deviation. It was used the Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests to compare means and the Spearman test to verify correlation between voice evaluations.The level of significance was 5%. Results 19 (47.5%) patients reported complaints of dysphonia. Means and standard deviations of the VAS patient and the VAS speech therapist were 32.58 ± 27.99 and 37.23 ± 15.92, respectively, with no statistically significant difference. Patients with vocal complaint had worse scores on self-assessment when compared with those who did not complain. There was no statistically significant difference between these groups in terms of perceptual assessment. There was no statistically significant correlation between the perception that the individual has over her voice and speech therapist assessment. Conclusion there was no difference between means of vocal self-assessment and auditory-perceptual assessment by the speech and language pathologist; vocal self-assessment was worse in patients with vocal complaints; there was no correlation between evaluations. .
