Abstract
The study aimed to determine the normative value of SVHI-10. The study is a systematic review and a meta-analysis. A systematic literature search was performed using PubMed and ScienceDirect to access relevant databases and to locate outcome studies. Eligibility criteria included type of publication, participant characteristics, and report of outcomes. Data analysis was conducted using the meta-analysis method. Six articles were included for the final analysis. The normative values for the SVHI-10 for a group of 528 subjects were 8.38 with confidence levels of 7.43-9.34 (age range 16-83). Based on the results of the meta-analysis the SVHI-10 can be used as a screening tool for a group of singers. In the future, it would be worthwhile to carry out a subordinate analysis to determine the SVHI-10 range for mild voice disorders or severe voice disorders in singing.
