Brief summary
Laryngeal disorders after childhood cardiac surgery is a complication well described in the literature. However, the long term progression of the affected children has never been studied (all the studies stopped before 2 years of follow up).
Interventions
OTHERQuestionnaires
To explore the quality of life, two questionnaires will be submitted to the parents and the child. The first one is the pediatric version of the VHI (Voice Handicap Index), which explore, using 23 items, the functional, physical and emotional aspects of the dysphonia. The second one is the PEDI-EAT-10 (Pediatric Voice Handicap Index - Eating Assessment Tool), which explore, through 10 items (ranging from 0 to 4), the risk of aspiration and assess the impact of possible dysphagia on quality of life.
