Validation of the Laryngeal Cognitive-affective Tool in a Taiwanese Population

Year: 2024
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: BACKGROUND AND AIM: The laryngeal cognitive-affective tool (LCAT) was recently validated in the US to assess laryngeal-specific hypervigilance and anxiety. The aim of this study was to examine LCAT validity in the Taiwanese population. METHODS: This prospective single-center study enrolled adults from Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital with laryngeal symptoms for >6 months. RESULTS: One hundred four patients included: mean age 49.5 years (SD 13.3), 69% female, mean BMI 25.3 kg/m 2 (5.8), and mean LCAT 25.9 (15.2). The LCAT had excellent internal consistency (α=0.969) and split-half reliability (Guttman=0.925). CONCLUSIONS: The LCAT is newly validated in the Taiwanese population and assesses laryngeal-specific cognitive-affective processes in patients with chronic laryngeal symptoms.
