Statistical analysis was done using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences, (v. 14, SPSS Inc., Chicago III).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:\u2002<\/jats:bold> Median age of the female larygectomy patiemts was 65 years (range: 41\u201081), that of male laryngectomees was 66.5 years (range: 40\u201079) and that of the normal female subjects was 47.5 years (range: 35\u201072). All electroglottographic, acoustic parameters and GRBAS ratings of the female laryngectomy patients were significantly worse as compared with the normal female subjects. The median fundamental frequency (111.8 Hz) was comparable to male tracheoesophageal speakers (115.8 Hz). Mean composite University of Washington Quality of Life score and overall Voice Handicap Index score was 79.3(12.5) and 47.5(27.6) for the female laryngectomy patients and for the males was 81.2 (9.6) and 39.4(18.7).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions:\u2002<\/jats:bold> Gender frequency differences as seen in normal subjects are lost following a laryngectomy operation as evidenced by electroglottographic and perceptual data. Although the quality of life scores are comparable to the male tracheoesophageal speakers, they exhibit a greater voice handicap as compared to their male counterparts.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2273.2006.01290.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,12,6]],"date-time":"2006-12-06T18:02:20Z","timestamp":1165428140000},"page":"511-517","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Multidimensional assessment of female tracheoesophageal prosthetic speech"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"R.","family":"Kazi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"E.","family":"Kiverniti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"V.","family":"Prasad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R.","family":"Venkitaraman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"C.M.","family":"Nutting","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"P.","family":"Clarke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"P.","family":"Rhys\u2010Evans","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"K.J.","family":"Harrington","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,12,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2273.2004.00846.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1121\/1.410277"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_2","first-page":"116","article-title":"Laryngographic assessment of phonatory function","volume":"11","author":"Fourcin A.J.","year":"1981","journal-title":"ASHA Rep."},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1044\/jshd.5102.125"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/1097-0347(200103)23:3<201::AID-HED1019>3.0.CO;2-M"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_7_2","volume-title":"Gullane.
