Objective: The purpose of this proposal is to use High Speed Videoendoscopy (HSV) to develop and test an imaging biomarker to support diagnosis and predict vibratory outcome after airway reconstruction. Our protocol will involve eliciting and recording the following five behaviors: (1) hard throat clear; (2) cough; (3) laugh; (4) short multiple phonations; and (5) sustained phonation. These HSV recordings will be used to develop the biomarkers. Study Design: A prospective cohort study of 60 patients, 36 who will undergo airway reconstruction and 24 age matched controls. Setting: Center for Pediatric Voice Disorders, Department of Otolaryngology, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center Methods: Subjects will undergo a full voice evaluation, including an HSV evaluation protocol, at the main study site prior to airway reconstruction, 6 months post and 1 year post surgery. Voice evaluation will include aerodynamic, acoustic, and perceptual voice assessments, a pediatric voice handicap index questionnaire, videostroboscopy, and HSV. The airway evaluation will include airway sizing and calibration.

Primary | Identification of Patient's Vibratory Source | Vibratory source will be rated by having HSV imaging samples subjected to an automatic temporal segmentation, which will extract the HSV segment of interest. The extracted temporal segment (i.e. token) is subjected to an automatic image segmentation based on the oscillating edges of the anatomic structures using kymographic paired active contours. The image segmentation will be aided by an automatic spectral oscillation analysis similar to previously published methods. Three raters will be asked to interpret the image analysis results, which will be overlaid on the HSV image. To identify the patient's vibratory source, among the segmented vibratory areas, the raters will identify which vibratory structure(s)--glottis, false vocal folds, aryepiglottic folds, arytenoid against epiglottis, other supraglottal structures, or any combination of those--could be phonatory/which anatomic structure produced the vibration. | Up to One Year | |
Secondary | Tissue Health of Patient--Vocal Fold Vibration | Tissue health will be rated using a specialized Matlab graphic user interface (GUI). The rating protocol for preoperative and postoperative measurement will assess vibratory features on an ordinal scale, as follows: Vocal-fold vibration will be rated as: vibration with contact; vibration, no contact; no vibration, with contact; no vibration, no contact; can't identify vocal folds; or can't rate. The raters will then be asked to grade their overall rating confidence in their rating. Confidence will be graded on a 5-point scale as follows: 5-highly confident; 4-confident; 3-mostly confident; 2-somewhat confident; and 1- not confident or unable to rate. | Up to One Year | |
Secondary | Tissue Health of Patient--Scarring of Airway | Tissue health will be rated using a specialized Matlab graphic user interface (GUI). The rating protocol for preoperative and postoperative measurement will assess vibratory features on an ordinal scale, as follows:Scarring will be rated as: no scar; mild-left; mild-right; mild-bilateral; moderate-left; moderate- right; moderate- bilateral; severe-left; severe-right; severe- bilateral; or can't rate. For the visual rating of scarring, we will use the following definitions: mild scarring - present scar that has no effect or mildly reduces the mucosal wave; moderate scarring - reduced mucosal wave; severe scarring - mucosal wave not present. The raters will then be asked to grade their overall rating confidence in their rating. Confidence will be graded on a 5-point scale as follows: 5-highly confident; 4-confident; 3-mostly confident; 2-somewhat confident; and 1- not confident or unable to rate. | Up to One Year | |
Secondary | Maximum Adduction | The computation of the adduction and abduction will be based on automatic image segmentation using temporally-paired active contours followed by extraction of a glottal area width (GAW) signal. This measure will be calibrated to the units of mm based on the segmented airway size relative to the size of the calibration surgical instrument recorded on the intraoperative image. Maximum adduction will be computed from the GAW signal. | Up to One Year | |
Secondary | Maximum Abduction | The computation of the adduction and abduction will be based on automatic image segmentation using temporally-paired active contours followed by extraction of a glottal area width (GAW) signal. This measure will be calibrated to the units of mm based on the segmented airway size relative to the size of the calibration surgical instrument recorded on the intraoperative image. Maximum abduction will be computed from the GAW signal. | Up to One Year | |
Secondary | Consensus Auditory-Perceptual Evaluation of Voice (CAPE-V) | Three certified speech-language pathologists with extensive experience in the assessment and treatment of pediatric voice disorders will perform all CAPE-V ratings. Each sample will contain the six CAPE-V sentences or modified sentences based on the ability of the child.
Rating sheets will list only the participant's study number, age, and gender. Judges will independently listen to the samples (a maximum of three times per sample) in a quiet environment using headphones (the headphones will not have a separate volume control function. Averages of the three judges will be performed to obtain the Overall Severity rating. Twenty-five percent of the voice samples will be randomly selected to estimate intra-rater reliability. Inter-rater reliability will also be evaluated. If CAPE-V Overall Severity ratings differ greater than 20%, samples will be set aside and evaluated in a consensus of all three judges. This consensus will establish the final Overall Severity rating. |

Secondary | Pediatric Voice Handicap Index | Questionnaire designed to assess the impact on quality of life that the patient's voice problems pose. This is administered during each voice evaluation to track changes. Voice handicapping/voice-related quality of life will be evaluated using the Pediatric Voice Handicap Index (pVHI). The pVHI is a handicapping index that was modified from the original Adult Voice Handicap Index into a parental proxy form.
The pVHI is a self-rating of voice handicapping based on a summed score (0-92). This system has three domains: 1) functional, 2) physical, and 3) emotional. |
