[Detection of speech pathology based on parameters of analysis of dysphonia in speech and voice]

Objective:To analysis speech pathology based on dysphonia in speech and voice（ADSV）. Methods:The acoustic signals of continuous vowels and continuous speech of one-hundred and thirteen individuals were collected, including 93 vocal cord polyps cases, 20 glottis laryngeal carcinoma cases and 47 volunteers without speech sound disorders. Cepstral peak prominence（CPP）, CPP standard deviation（CPP SD）, L/H spectral ratio（L/H ratio）, L/H ratio standard deviation（L/H ratio SD） and cepstral/spectral index of dysphonia（CSID） were analyzed by ADSV to explore the role of these parameters in the recognition of speech pathology. Results:In the acoustic signal of continuous vowels, CPP and L/H ratio in normal group were higher than those in pathological voice group（P<0.001）, while CPP SD and CSID were lower than those in pathological voice group（P<0.001）, CPP and CSID areas under ROC curve were 0.95 and 0.99, respectively, which were important acoustic parameters for diagnosing pathological voice. In continuous speech acoustic signals, CPP, CPP SD and L/H ratio in the normal group were all higher than those in the speech disorders group（P<0.001）, and the area under the curve of CPP SD was 0.90, which showed high accuracy in diagnosing pathological voice. The ADSV voice analysis parameters CPP, CPP SD, CSID, and L/H ratio also showed significant differences between the vocal cord polyp group and the glottic laryngeal cancer group. The results of the discriminant analysis model show that the use of ADSV voice parameters can distinguish vocal cord polyps and laryngeal cancers. Conclusion:The ADSV voice analysis parameters can not only distinguish the voice signals of the normal group and the pathological group, but also distinguish different types of pathological voices. It has high sensitivity and specificity in diagnosing pathological voices.
