Voice outcome indicators for unilateral vocal fold paralysis surgery: a review of the literature

ConclusionThe results indicate that MPT, MeAF and GRBAS-I, represent the top-three most frequently used and the most relevant VOIs in terms of “percentage of significance”. VHI-30 showed a relatively low rate of use and low “percentage of significance”. The role of Jitter and Shimmer remains unclear. Finally, MSGP and the F0 appear to be less relevant VOIs for the evaluation of UFVP surgical treatments in terms of significant chang e in pre- and post-operative measurements.
