Hoarseness is a symptom of laryngeal dysfunction, without an existing consensus regarding its appropriate evaluation. A survey of laryngeal specialists is proposed to establish expert opinion on the methodology for evaluation of hoarseness, and to identify divergence of opinion regarding appropriate management.

Laryngeal Injury and Upper Airway Symptoms After Endotracheal Intubation During Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
TLDR
The types of laryngeal injuries and their patient-reported symptoms and clinical signs resulting from endotracheal intubation in patients intubated for surgeries are reviewed to better understand the overall the frequency at which these injuries occur.
Diagnostic Accuracy of Fiber Optic Laryngoscopy
TLDR
Fiber optic laryngoscopy is an excellent tool for the diagnosis of hoarseness, with a diagnostic accuracy of 80.65% with 89.19% sensitivity, 77.96% specificity, 55.93% PPV, and 95.83% NPV.

Management of Dysphonic Patients by Otolaryngologists
TLDR
Varied treatment approaches to adult dysphonic patients were identified and various forms of supraglottic compression and tender extralaryngeal muscles were identified as findings of muscle tension dysphonia.
Evaluation of dysphonic patients by general otolaryngologists.
Diagnostic accuracy of history, laryngoscopy, and stroboscopy
TLDR
This work sought to prospectively quantify the diagnostic accuracy of history, laryngoscopy, and stroboscopy using direct laryngeal visualization as the gold standard.
How to decide whether a clinical practice guideline is trustworthy.
TLDR
In a recent evaluation of 114 randomly chosen guidelines, researchers found poor adherence to the IOM standards, raising questions about the best approach to use guidelines as a benchmark of excellent care.
