Popis: | This retrospective study describes the frequency of one team's acceptance of speech pathologists' recommendations for specific secondary treatment procedures for the correction of VPI for 100 consecutive patients. In addition, assessment was made of the level of success in eliminating VPI relative to treatments utilized that were recommended by speech pathologists versus level of success when treatment other than that recommended by speech pathologists were used. For the 78 patients who received the treatment procedure recommended by speech pathologists, only 10 percent continued to demonstrate any clinically significant residual speech problem associated with VPI. However, for the 22 patients who received treatment other than that which had been recommended, 32 percent continued to demonstrate clinically significant speech problems associated with VPI. Data is presented on the success rate for correcting VPI relative to specific treatment recommendations including pharyngeal flap, palatal pushback, pharyngeal wall implant, tonsillectomy, prosthetic palatal lifts, and speech therapy. |
