Phonation threshold flow (PTF) may provide a tool to assess laryngeal function and could differentiate between normal and pathological voices. Both polyps and nodules contribute to an increased PTF by creating an incomplete glottal closure and increased vocal fold mass and thickness. Prospective study. The Kay Elemetrics Phonatory Aerodynamic System (PAS) was used to collect mean flow rate (MFR) and PTF measurements from 40 normal subjects, 21 patients with vocal fold nodules, and 23 patients with vocal fold polyps. Gender based differences were assessed using a t-test. The effect of vocal pathology on PTF and MFR was determined with an ANOVA. Diagnostic potential was evaluated using a receiver operation characteristics (ROC) analysis. Both PTF (p=0.047) and MFR (p=0.008) were significantly affected by gender. Using a two-way ANOVA and correcting for gender differences, the influence of pathology on PTF was determined to be significant (p<0.001). Post-hoc tests found a significant difference between normal and polyp subjects (p<0.001), but not normal and nodule subjects (p=0.177) or nodule and polyp subjects (p=0.246). ROC analysis found that PTF (AUC=0.691) and MFR (AUC=0.684) had a similar diagnostic utility. PTF can be used to differentiate between normal and pathological voices. As a parameter which is experimentally sensitive to the biomechanical parameters providing its theoretical basis, it could be used clinically to analyze laryngeal functionality. Future research could focus on measuring PTF in other pathologies, such as paralysis or scarring, which would also affect the effort required to produce voice.
