The Cutoff Point and Diagnostic Accuracy of the Voice Handicap Index in Cantonese-Speaking Population

Voice Handicap Index (VHI) has been used extensively in research and clinical settings. It has been suggested to be used as a diagnostic tool in the literature. However, little is known if it could be applied as a diagnostic tool to the Cantonese-speaking population. The study aims to establish cutoff points and the diagnostic accuracy for VHI-30 and VHI-10 to discriminate between Cantonese-speaking dysphonic and nondysphonic individuals.
