Summary
Objective
To investigate whether there is a relationship between voice-related quality of life,
pulmonary function, risk of dysphagia, symptoms of dyspnea, and the different degrees
of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, and to verify which factors may be associated
to voice-related quality of life.
Methods
Complete records of 37 individuals diagnosed with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease,
of both sexes, aged between 35 and 89, assessed using the Voice-Related Quality of
Life Questionnaire, Questionnaire for Dysphagia Screening, Modified Medical Research
Council, Index of Body Mass, Peak Expiratory Flow, COPD Assessment Test and Global
Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease classification.
Results
There was a significant, moderate, and negative correlation between the total scores
and the physical domain scores of the Voice-Related Quality of Life as a COPD Assessment
Test. In the multivariate linear regression analysis, the coefficient of determination
explained 51.1% of the relationship between the total Voice-Related Quality of Life
score and the independent variables: Peak Expiratory Flow and Questionnaire for Dysphagia
Screening.
Conclusion
In the analyzed group, voice-related quality of life was negatively influenced by
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, risk of dysphagia, and changes in Peak Expiratory
Flow.
