OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: Prior studies have observed a high prevalence of @entity2673 , including @entity308 , in @entity1 with @entity1740 . However, these studies have largely been performed in care-seeking @entity1 identified in tertiary care voice clinics. The objective of this study was to examine the association between @entity308 and @entity1740 in the U.S. POPULATION:                 <AbstractText Label="STUDY DESIGN" NlmCategory="METHODS">Cross-sectional analysis of National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) data. METHODS: We identified adult cases reporting a @entity1740 in the preceding 12 months in the 2012 NHIS. Self-reported demographics and data regarding healthcare visits for @entity1740 , diagnoses given, severity of the @entity1740 , and @entity308 symptoms were analyzed. RESULTS: The total weighted sample size was 52,816,364. The presence of @entity308 was associated with a nearly two-fold increase (odds ratio = 1.89, 95% confidence interval = 1.21-2.96) in the likelihood of reporting a @entity1740 in the past year. @entity1 who reported feeling @entity308 were less likely to receive care for the @entity1740 and less likely to report that treatment had helped than those who did not feel @entity308 . CONCLUSION: These findings indicate that the co-occurrence of @entity1740 and @entity308 is observed in the general population, not only in care-seeking @entity1 , and that @entity308 may influence reported likelihood of receiving voice treatment and effectiveness. This suggests that voice care providers should take mental health symptoms into account when treating @entity1 , and also indicates a need for further investigation. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: NA.
