Tradução e adaptação cultural do Peds QL TM ESRD para a língua portuguesa

OBJETIVO: Traduzir e adaptar a versão 3.0 do questionário Peds QL TM - End Stage Renal Disease para a língua portuguesa. METODOLOGIA: A metodologia adotada foi proposta pelo idealizador do questionário original e é composta por 4 fases: tradução da versão original, retradução para o idioma inglês, aplicação em grupos de pacientes e prova de leitura e finalização, sendo que, as traduções e a revisão foram realizadas por profissionais especialistas nas línguas portuguesa e inglesa. Os questionários são compostos pelas versões de relato da criança e do adolescente e relato dos pais, e divididos em faixas etárias de 2 a 4 anos (apenas relato dos pais), 5 a 7 anos, 8 a 12 anos e 13 a 18 anos. Ao todo, foram realizadas 35 entrevistas, sendo 15 de crianças e adolescentes e 20 dos responsáveis. CONCLUSÕES: O processo de tradução e adaptação cultural, que consistiu na equivalência semântica (equivalência entre as palavras), equivalência idiomática (expressões equivalentes não encontradas ou itens que precisavam ser substituídos) e equivalência experimental (palavras e situações adequadas ao contexto cultural brasileiro), resultaram em uma versão de fácil compreensão e administração.

QL-CONST1: an expert system for quality level prediction in concrete structures

Current trends in the fields of artifical intelligence and expert systems are moving towards the exciting possibility of reproducing and simulating human expertise and expert behaviour into a knowledge base, coupled with an appropriate, partially ‘intelligent’, computer code. This paper deals with the quality level prediction in concrete structures using the helpful assistance of an expert system, QL-CONST1, which is able to reason about this specific field of structural engineering. Evidence, hypotheses and factors related to this human knowledge field have been codified into a knowledge base. This knowledge base has been prepared in terms of probabilities of the presence of either hypotheses or evidence and the conditional presence of both. Human experts in the fields of structural engineering and the safety of structures gave their invaluable knowledge and assistance to the construction of the knowledge base. Some illustrative examples for, the validation of the expert system behaviour are included.

Validation of the Paediatric food allergy quality of life questionnaire (PFA-QL)

Objective - The aim of the current study was to validate child (PFA-QL) and parent–proxy (PFA-QL-PF) versions of the scale in a specialist allergy clinic and in parents of children with food allergy. Methods - For the clinic sample, a generic QoL scale (PedsQL) and the PFA-QL were completed by 103 children (age 6–16 yrs) with peanut or tree nut allergy; test–retest reliability of the PFA-QL was tested in 50 stable patients. For the non-clinical sample, 756 parents of food allergic children completed the PFA-QL-PF, the Child Health Questionnaire (CHQ-PF50), Food Allergy Quality of Life Parental Burden Scale (FAQL-PB) and a Food Allergy Impact Measure. Results - The PFA-QL and PFA-QL-PF had good internal consistency (a's of 0.77–0.82), and there was moderate-to-good agreement between the generic- and disease-specific questionnaires. The PFA-QL was stable over time in the clinic sample, and in both samples, girls were reported to have poorer QoL than boys. Conclusions - The PFA-QL and PFA-QL-PF are reliable and valid scales for use in both clinical and non-clinical populations. Unlike other available tools, they were developed and validated in the UK and thus provide a culture-specific choice for research, clinical trials and clinical practice in the UK. Validation in other countries is now needed.

A pilot study of topiramate in children with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome

We conducted an open, add-on study with topiramate (TPM) as adjunctive therapy in Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS), to assess the long-term efficacy and safety and to evaluate quality of life (QL) measurements in the chronic use of TPM. We studied 19 patients (11 male; age ranging from 4 to 14 years) with uncontrolled seizures receiving 2-3 anti-epileptic drugs. Patients were followed up to 36 months of treatment. A questionnaire was used to query parents about QL. Seven patients completed the study at 36 months and seizure frequency was reduced > 75% in 4, and < 50% in 3 patients. Two children became seizure free for more than 24 months. Most side effects were CNS related, with the most frequent being somnolence and anorexia. These were generally transient. One patient dropped-out due to powder in the urine. None of the patients required hospitalization. At 36 months, patients' alertness (2/7), interaction with environment (5/7), ability to perform daily activities (5/7), and verbal performance (6/7) improved on TPM. We conclude that TPM may be useful as adjunctive therapy in the treatment of LGS. The efficacy of TPM was maintained in long-term treatment in more than 40% of patients, long term safety was confirmed and QL improved on TPM.
