Quality of life was assessed by the VHI questionnaire. VHI degrees are classified into mild and moderate-severe. Data analysis using chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression. Results:Thirty-two (51.6%) subjects were women. Mean age was 47.26 +12.2. The most common causes of dysphonia (85.5%) were due to organic disorders and laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) is the most common cause (37.1%) of all organic dysphonia disorders. Analysis of risk factors for age, gender, etiology of dysphonia and duration of illness with VHI degree were p = 0.282, p =0.76, p= 0.067, p= 0.001, respectively. Duration of illness ≥2 weeks has a 38.3x risk to severity VHI compared to <2 weeks.
