Implication

Prospective cohort study evaluates cough strength and swallowing safety in adults with glottal insufficiency, suggesting implications for treatment efficacy.

Key Points

This study aims to evaluate the impact of injection laryngoplasty on cough strength and swallowing function in patients with unilateral vocal fold paralysis.
Evaluated adult patients undergoing injection laryngoplasty (IL) for unilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP)
Measured maximum volitional cough pressure (MCoughP) and clinical voice outcomes pre- and post-IL
Utilized Eating Assessment Tool (EAT-10) and Penetration-Aspiration Scale (PAS) for patients with aspiration complaints
Significant improvements in clinical voice outcomes and glottal closure observed for all patients
EAT-10 scores decreased from 16.22 to 10.83 post-IL (P = .008)
MCoughP increased for patients without ongoing diseases from 42.90 to 51.33 cmH2O (P = .04)
MCoughP decreased for patients with ongoing diseases from 67.98 to 55.32 cmH2O (P = .03)
