Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Morsani College of Medicine of the University of South Florida, Tampa, Florida, USA.
Objective: Bilateral vocal fold paralysis (BVFP) and posterior glottic stenosis (PGS) are causes of bilateral vocal fold immobility (BVFI) and may cause shortness of breath, stridor, and need for surgical intervention. Although increased body mass index (BMI) is associated with restrictive breathing patterns in patients with normal upper airways, it is unclear how BMI impacts dyspnea and need for surgical intervention in BVFI patients.
Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.
