| Popis: | The purposes of this study were to (1) examine the long-term speech status of patients judged to exhibit marginal velopharyngeal competence at 6 years of age and (2) determine whether speech performance data obtained at age 6 could be used to discriminate patients with marginal velopharyngeal competence who eventually demonstrate velopharyngeal incompetence from those who do not. Longitudinal speech performance data were retrieved for 48 subjects and examined descriptively for the total group. Data obtained at the subjects' last evaluation (adolescence) were then used to reassign these subjects into one of three classification groups for estimating velopharyngeal status (competent, marginal, incompetent) on the basis of the clinical ratings of velopharyngeal competence assigned at the time of their last examination in adolescence. Differences in measures of articulation proficiency and hypernasality among the three groups were examined at age 6 using an analysis of variance. A stepwise discriminate analysis was also performed to determine whether the speech data obtained at age 6 could be used to discriminate the three adolescent classification groups. The ANOVA revealed no significant differences among the classification groups in type of articulation errors. Differences in articulation test scores and severity ratings of articulation defectiveness and nasality in connected speech were evident among the groups. The discriminate analysis revealed that the groups could be separated, in part, on the basis of two variables: the severity ratings of articulation defectiveness and nasality. |
