Abstract

Purpose : To investigate the nature of deviant voice physiology in preoperative children with congenital heart disease. Methods : Ninety-four children with congenital heart disease were enrolled. Their cries and related acoustic variables (fundamental frequency, duration, noise to harmonic ratio, jitter and shimmer) were analyzed using a multi-dimensional voice program. Results : The average fundamental frequency showed a significant decrease in patent ductus arteriosus, ventricular septal defect, and tetralogy of Fallot, except in atrial septal defect and pulmonary stenosis. The length of the analyzed sample (duration) did not show a significant difference when compared with the control group. There was a significant increase in jitter percent in ventricular septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, and atrial septal defect. There was an increase in shimmer in ventricular septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, and atrial septal defect. The noise-to-harmonic ratio increased in ventricular septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, and atrial septal defect but there was no significant difference in pulmonary stenosis and tetralogy of Fallot. While analyzing acoustic variables, the voice change was significantly higher, especially in patent ductus arteriosus followed by ventricular septal defect and atrial septal defect. Most of these acoustic variables were deviant in left-to-right shunt lesions in congenital heart disease, especially in patent ductus artriosus. Conclusion : The results of the voice change analysis of preoperative children with congenital heart disease revealed that the acoustic variables differed by each congenital heart disease. Moreover, the acoustic variables were prominently deviant in congenital heart disease with left-to-right shunts.

목 적 : 애성 및 음성 변동은 심장병 환자에서 관찰될 수 있는데 이러한 음성 변동 정도를 음향학적 지표의 평가로 분석하여, 소아에서 선천성 심장병 종류에 따른 음성 변동을 음향학적 요소로 분석하고자 하였다. 방 법 : 수술 전 선천성 심장병 환아 94명을 연구 대상으로 하였고 심실 중격 결손, 동맥관 개존, 심방 중격 결손, 폐동맥 협착, 활로 사징이 포함되었으며, 음성 변동을 조사하기 위한 음향 지표 분석은 통증 자극을 통하여 얻어진 음성 자료를 multi-dimensional voice program system을 이용하여 평가하였다. 연구에 사용된 음향 지표로 average fundamental frequency, length of analyzed sample, jitter percent, shimmer, noise to harmonic ratio를 분석하였다. 결 과 : 음향 지표인 average fundamental frequency은 동맥관 개존, 심실 중격 결손, 활로 사징 경우에서 유의한 감소를 나타냈으며, length of analyzed sample은 연구 대상 선천성 심장병 환아에서 대조군에 비해 의미있는 차이를 나타내지 않았다. Jitter percent, shimmer, noise to harmonic ratio는 심실 중격 결손, 동맥관 개존, 심방 중격 결손에서 대조군에 비해 증가되었다. 이러한 음성 변동은 연구 대상 선천성 심장병 중 동맥관 개존에서 음도변이, 강도변이, 음성의 소음 정도가 가장 뚜렷하게 나타났으며, 동맥관 개존, 심실 중격 결손, 심방 중격 결손 순으로 그 음성 변동의 특징을 나타냈다. 결 론 : 수술 전 선천성 심장병 환아에서 음성을 음향학적 지표로 비교 분석한 결과 음향학적 지표들이 심장 질환의 유형별 차이를 보이는데 좌우 단락 심질환군에서 현저한 비정상적 음향학적 지표를 나타냈다.
