Quality of life after total laryngectomy: evaluating the effect of socioeconomic status.

However, patients from lower socioeconomic circumstances have better voice-related quality of life. The results illustrate the importance of including socioeconomic status when reporting voice outcomes in total laryngectomy patients.
