Do Patients Regret Having In-Office Vocal Fold Injections for Glottic Insufficiency?

In-office vocal fold injections (VFI) are an effective treatment for glottic insufficiency. The primary objective of this study was to assess if patients reported decisional regret after VFI. Secondary objectives included determining if variables were associated with lower decisional regret. Case–control study of patients who underwent in-office VFIs for glottic insufficiency from August 2017 to December 2019 at a tertiary laryngology clinic. Participants completed the validated Decision Regret Scale (DRS). Demographic data, clinician’s perceptual analysis with GRBAS (Grade, Roughness, Breathiness, Asthenia, Strain), and patient’s self-reported Voice Handicap Index-10 (VHI-10) were analyzed. Nonparametric tests as well as univariate and multiple logistics regression were performed. Of patients eligible, 75
