Implication

Case-control study demonstrates lower quality of life and higher social anxiety in patients with hoarseness, implying the need for psychosocial interventions.

Key Points

Patients with chronic hoarseness reported worse quality of life, particularly in emotional and social domains, than healthy controls.
Quality of life scores on the WHOQOL-BREF were significantly lower for hoarseness patients, significantly impacting Psychological Health and Social Relationships.
This prospective case-control study assessed 38 patients with hoarseness against 40 controls, measuring quality of life and social anxiety using standardized scales.
Findings indicate that chronic hoarseness leads to increased social anxiety symptoms, highlighting the importance of psychosocial factors in management.
