A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This multicenter retrospective observational study aims to catalog the specific and non-specific vocal cord lesions that lead to dysphonia in patients with systemic autoimmune diseases. It will identify participants suffering from dysphonia and review their medical records to determine the main lesions responsible, any delays in diagnosis, and management strategies. The study focuses on conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus, exploring lesions like 'bamboo nodes' and other irritative factors. The findings could help improve understanding and management of dysphonia in this patient population.
