| Popis: | Background: The Voice Handicap Index-10 (VHI-10) is used in clinics because of its validity and ease of use by patients. Objectives: The aim of this paper was to evaluate the internal consistency, reliability, and clinical validity of the Serbian version of the VHI-10. Method: In this cross-sectional study, we translated the original English version of the VHI-10 into Serbian, after which it was back-translated into English. The Serbian version of the VHI-10 was completed by 161 patients with voice disorders, divided into 4 groups according disease etiology (structural, neurological, functional, and inflammatory) and 73 healthy control subjects. Results: The VHI-10 internal consistency was 0.88. Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient for VHI-10 test-retest reliability was ρ = 0.991 (p< 0.001). Patients with voice disorders had higher median total VHI-10 scores compared with controls (p< 0.001). The patients’ Grade, Instability, Roughness, Breathiness, Asthenia, and Strain (GIRBAS) scale scores were significantly correlated with the VHI-10 test scores (ρ = 0,682, p < 0.001) and VHI-10 retest scores (ρ = 0.716, p < 0.001). Conclusion: The Serbian version of the VHI-10 had good validity and reliability and can be used by Serbian patients with voice disorders. |
