"Overall, the results of this systematic review used the [modified version of the Critical Appraisal of Diagnostic Evidence form] CADE-M to provide evidence that selected acoustic, laryngeal imaging-based, auditory-perceptual, functional, and aerodynamic measures have the potential to be used as effective components in a clinical voice evaluation" (p. 220). "The review, however, did not produce sufficient evidence on which to recommend a comprehensive set of methods for a standard clinical voice evaluation" (pp. 220-221).
