Objective: To investigate the current assessment practices of speech-language pathologists (SLPs) in the United States working with adult clients with voice disorders with regard to the frequency, utility, and confidence in the use of five elements of a comprehensive voice evaluation, as well as training, access to instrumentation, and the use of published scales.
Methods: An online survey was distributed to SLPs who currently see adults with dysphonia as part of their caseload. Clinicians in a voice-focused setting were compared to those who worked in a general medical setting.
Objectives: The G8 is a well-validated screening test for older cancer patients. The current study was undertaken to determine whether the G8 is predictive of short-term post-operative outcomes after head and neck cancer (HNC) surgery.
Methods: Consecutive patients aged 65 years or more and referred for a preoperative assessment by a speech-language pathologist were consecutively screened by clinicians at 2 academic medical centers using the G8.
