RESUMO
RESUMO Objetivo: comparar o perfil de atendimento aos pacientes críticos em hemodiálise antes e durante a pandemia pela COVID-19. Método: estudo observacional realizado em um hospital de São Paulo - Brasil. Participaram pacientes críticos em hemodiálise internados em 2019 e 2020. Os dados foram coletados de documentos das sessões de hemodiálise e prontuários. Foram utilizados os testes de Qui-quadrado, Mann-Whitney, Shapiro-Wilk e Exato de Fisher para as comparações (p<0,05). Resultados: foram realizadas 212 sessões em 50 pacientes em 2019 e 873 sessões em 171 pacientes em 2020. Em 2019 os pacientes foram encaminhados para terapia intensiva e hemodiálise após 4,62±6,38 e 17,26±24,53 dias, respectivamente, e em 2020 esses períodos foram de 2,21±3,63 e 10,24±11,99 dias. Houve mais óbitos em 2020 (p=0,01) e entre os pacientes com COVID-19 (p=0,014). Conclusão: foi observado um maior número de hemodiálises em 2020 quando comparado ao quadro pré-pandêmico, situação desconhecida nos primeiros meses da pandemia.
ABSTRACT Objective: to compare the care profile for critically-ill patients on hemodialysis before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: an observational study carried out in a hospital from São Paulo, Brazil. The participants were critically-ill patients on hemodialysis hospitalized in 2019 and 2020. The data were collected from documents of hemodialysis sessions and from medical records. Chi-square, Mann-Whitney, Shapiro-Wilk and Fisher's Exact tests were used for comparisons (p<0.05). Results: a total of 212 sessions were performed with 50 patients in 2019 and 873 sessions with 171 patients in 2020. In 2019, the patients were referred to intensive care and hemodialysis after 4.62 ± 6.38 and 17.26 ± 24.53 days, respectively, and in 2020 these periods corresponded to 2.21 ± 3.63 and 10.24 ± 11.99 days. There were more deaths in 2020 (p=0.01) and among patients with COVID-19 (p=0.014). Conclusion: more hemodialysis sessions were observed in 2020 when compared to pre-pandemic times, an unknown situation in the first months of the pandemic.

RESUMO
ABSTRACT Objective to assess health-related quality of life in people with chronic wounds and its association with sociodemographic and health characteristics. Method a cross-sectional and analytical study conducted with 85 individuals with chronic wounds in a university hospital from Paraíba, Brazil. The data were collected from June to September 2019 through interviews guided by the Medical Outcome Study 36-item Short-Form Health Survey generic Quality of Life assessment instruments and the Cardiff Wound Impact Schedule specific tool for people with chronic wounds. The Student's t, ANOVA, Mann-Whitney's U, Kruskal-Wallis and Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests were applied to analyze the data, with 5% significance. Results there was predominance of aged and married women with venous wounds not healing for over 24 weeks. The mean score of the generic instrument, which was 35.08, indicated a negative association between the physical capacity domain and female gender; as well as between vitality and age over 60 years old; between emotional aspects and marital status; of functional capacity, limitation of physical activity and emotional aspects with lack of religious practices; and of functional capacity with worse financial situation, all with p≤0.042. The specific instrument had a mean score of 45.57 and presented negative associations in the physical domain with female gender; as well as between social life without religious practices and social life with worse financial situation, all with p≤0.047. Conclusion the scores of the specific and generic instruments indicated low Quality of Life influenced by factors such as female gender, advanced age, being divorced/separated, lack of religious practices and having financial problems.

RESUMO
AIM: To translate into Brazilian Portuguese and cross-culturally adapt the Cardiff Wound Impact Schedule, a specific measure of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) for patients with chronic wounds. Chronic wounds have a relevant impact on the HRQoL of patients. However, there are few instruments cross-culturally adapted and validated in Brazil to assess HRQoL in patients with wounds. METHODS: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted following six steps: (1) translation of the original instrument into Brazilian-Portuguese by two independent translators; (2) construction of a consensus version based on both translations; (3) two independent back-translations into English of the consensus version; (4) review by an expert committee and construction of the pre-final version; (5) testing of the pre-final version on patients with chronic wounds; and (6) construction of the final version. The psychometric properties of the instrument were tested on 30 patients with chronic wounds of the lower limb; 76.7% were men, 70.0% had traumatic wounds, and 43.3% had the wound for more than 1 year. Participants were recruited from an outpatient wound care clinic in São Paulo, Brazil. RESULTS: The final version approved by the expert committee was well understood by all patients who participate in the study and had satisfactory face validity, content validity, and internal consistency, with Cronbach's alpha coefficients ranging from 0.681 to 0.920. CONCLUSION: The cross-culturally adapted Brazilian-Portuguese version of the instrument showed satisfactory face and content validity, good internal consistency, and was named Cardiff Wound Impact Schedule-Federal University of São Paulo School of Medicine or CWIS-UNIFESP/EPM.

PURPOSE: We examined health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in persons with ostomies receiving outpatient care. We also analyzed relationships among HRQOL, demographic, and pertinent clinical factors. DESIGN: We used a descriptive, exploratory, cross-sectional study design to collect and analyze data. Data in this article are a secondary analysis of data collected from a primary study, developed by Santos and Gomboski, on the adaptation and validation of the City of Hope-Quality of Life-Ostomy Questionnaire (COH-QOL-OQ) to the Portuguese language in Brazil. SUBJECTS AND SETTING: A convenience sample of 215 adults living with an ostomy was evaluated. Slightly more than half (51.6%) were men, 67.5% underwent colostomy surgery, and 59.1% underwent cancer-related ostomy surgery. Subjects received care in specialized health care units in 3 cities in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul. METHODS: After approval by the Research Ethics Committee and permission from health care units, data were collected using 2 instruments: the World Health Organization Quality of Life-Short Version (WHOQOL-Bref) (generic HRQOL instrument) and the COH-QOL-OQ (disease specific HRQOL instrument). Data were analyzed using χ test and logistic regression (via a stepwise forward method). Patients were classified into 3 groups according to the means and standard deviations of the scores: low, moderate, and high quality of life (QOL). RESULTS: Ostomy patients had total scores of 69.6 ± 20.2 and 6.1 ± 1.4 for the WHOQOL-Bref and COH-QOL-OQ instruments, respectively. Patients with shorter times since their ostomy creation had worse scores on both the specific QOL (P = .006) and generic QOL (P = .019) instruments. Patients who did not practice religion (P = .027; odds ratio [OR] = 3.39) and those without a partner/spouse (P = .007; OR = 4.90) had increased probability of having worse scores on the WHOQOL-Bref (generic instrument). CONCLUSION: Persons living with ostomies were found to have scores indicating moderate HRQOL on a disease-specific and generic instrument. Shorter time since ostomy creation, lack of religious practice, and lack of a partner negatively influenced the HRQOL of these patients.
