ABSTRACT

Abstract Background: The Indian Takayasu Clinical Activity Score (ITAS2010) was developed in 2010 as an assessment tool for disease activity in patients with Takayasu arteritis (TA). It has since been widely used in different studies and in clinical practice for the management of patients with TA. The present study aims to translate the ITAS2010 into Brazilian Portuguese language and to validate it for use in clinical practice in Brazil. Methods: For this cross-sectional study, the ITAS2010 was translated in accordance with the guidelines described by Beaton et al. and then applied with 27 patients with TA on three assessments by two rheumatologists working independently. To measure interrater agreement, the assessments were performed on the same day within approximately 1 hour. One of the rheumatologists performed a second evaluation of patients with TA within 7 to 14 days to measure intrarater agreement. Results: The correlation coefficient for the ITAS2010 score between the two raters was high (r =0.916; p < 0.0001), as well as the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) [0.918 with a 95% confidence interval (95CI): 0.828-0.962]. The correlation coefficient and the ICC for intrarater agreement were moderate for ITAS2010 (r =0.633; p < 0.0001 and ICC = 0.594; 95CI: 0.292-0.790). The ITAS2010 at baseline was compared with the physician's global assessment (PGA) and with Kerr's criteria for detecting disease activity in TA. Higher ITAS2010 scores were observed in patients with active and grumbling/persistent disease than in those presenting inactive disease according to the PGA [1.5 (0.0-3.0) vs. 0.0 (0.0-0.0); p = 0.0025]. Patients with active disease according to the Kerr's criteria had also higher ITAS2010 scores than those considered in remission [3.0 (3.0-7.0) vs. 0.0 (0.0-0.0); p = 0.0068]. Conclusions: The Brazilian Portuguese version of the ITAS2010 is a valid and reproducible tool for the assessment of disease activity in TA and it is an additional tool for the routine evaluation of Brazilian patients with TA.

ABSTRACT

SUMMARY Objective: Despite the progress in the implementation of health promotion programs in the workplace, there are no questionnaires in Brazil to assess the scope of health promotion interventions adopted and their scientific basis. This study aimed to translate into Brazilian Portuguese and culturally adapt the CDC Worksite Health ScoreCard (HSC) questionnaire. Method: The HSC has 100 questions grouped into twelve domains. The steps are as follows: translation, reconciliation, back-translation, review by expert panel, pretesting, and final revision. The convenience sample included 27 individuals from health insurance providers and companies of various sizes, types and industries in São Paulo. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: The average age of the sample was 38 years, most of the subjects were female (21 of 27), and were responsible for programs to promote health in these workplaces. Most questions were above the minimum value of understanding set at 90%. The participants found the questionnaire very useful to determine the extent of existing health promotion programs and to pinpoint areas that could be developed. Conclusion: The Brazilian Portuguese version of the HSC questionnaire may be a valid measure and useful to assess the degree of implementation of health promotion interventions based on evidence in local health organizations.


RESUMO Objetivo: apesar do avanço na implementação dos Programas de Promoção da Saúde nos locais de trabalho, não temos disponível no Brasil um questionário que avalie a abrangência das intervenções de promoção da saúde adotadas e seu embasamento científico. Este estudo teve o objetivo de traduzir para o português brasileiro e adaptar culturalmente o questionário CDC Worksite Health ScoreCard (HSC). Método: o HSC possui 100 questões agrupadas em doze domínios. Foram seguidas as etapas: tradução, reconciliação, retro-tradução, revisão pelo painel de especialistas, pré-teste e revisão final. A amostra de conveniência incluiu 27 indivíduos de operadoras de planos de saúde e empresas de diversos tamanhos, tipos e indústrias do Estado de São Paulo. Os dados foram analisados por meio da estatística descritiva. Resultados: a média de idade da amostra foi de 38 anos; a maioria dos indivíduos eram do sexo feminino (21 de 27) e eram os responsáveis pelos programas de promoção da saúde desses locais de trabalho. A maioria das questões ficou acima do nível mínimo de compreensão de 90%. Os indivíduos consideraram o questionário muito útil para determinar a abrangência dos programas de promoção da saúde existentes e apontar áreas que poderiam ser desenvolvidas. Conclusão: a versão em português brasileiro do questionário HSC poderá ser uma ferramenta válida e útil para medir o grau de implantação das intervenções de promoção da saúde baseadas em evidências em organizações de saúde locais.

ABSTRACT

Summary Objective: describe the quality of life of frail elderly assisted by the Centro de Referência à Saúde do Idoso (CRI), Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil. Methods: the convenience sample included 122 frail elderly being treated from January 2010 to July 2011, out of a total of 668 frail elderly who were referred to the CRI after application of the brief evaluation form of the elderly, recommended by Ministry of Health, which identifies the elderly with some degree of frailty. Descriptive observational study collected data through sociodemographic questionnaire and quality of life questionnaires: WHOQOL-BREF, WHOQOLOLD and SF-36. Results: the study included 122 frail elderly. Of these, 74.6% (91) were female, mean age 73 years, 46.7% (57) were married, 51.6% (63) had less than 3 years of schooling and 87.7% (107) reported income of one to four minimum wages. The mean total score of the WHOQOL-BREF was 56.6, the WHOQOL-OLD 57.6 and SF-36 Physical Component Summary 34.5 and Mental Component Summary 43.6. Conclusion: knowledge of the impairment profile of quality of life among frail elderly is, therefore, essential for planning health care to this population.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: We evaluated the incidence of and the main risk factors associated with cutaneous adverse events in patients with chronic inflammatory arthritis following anti-TNF-α therapy. METHODS: A total of 257 patients with active arthritis who were taking TNF-α blockers, including 158 patients with rheumatoid arthritis, 87 with ankylosing spondylitis and 12 with psoriatic arthritis, were enrolled in a 5-year prospective analysis. Patients with overlapping or other rheumatic diseases were excluded. Anthropometric, socioeconomic, demographic and clinical data were evaluated, including the Disease Activity Score-28, Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index and Psoriasis Area Severity Index. Skin conditions were evaluated by two dermatology experts, and in doubtful cases, skin lesion biopsies were performed. Associations between adverse cutaneous events and clinical, demographic and epidemiological variables were determined using the chi-square test, and logistic regression analyses were performed to identify risk factors. The significance level was set at p<0.05. RESULTS: After 60 months of follow-up, 71 adverse events (73.85/1000 patient-years) were observed, of which allergic and immune-mediated phenomena were the most frequent events, followed by infectious conditions involving bacterial (47.1%), parasitic (23.5%), fungal (20.6%) and viral (8.8%) agents. CONCLUSION: The skin is significantly affected by adverse reactions resulting from the use of TNF-α blockers, and the main risk factors for cutaneous events were advanced age, female sex, a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis, disease activity and the use of infliximab. .

ABSTRACT

A perda da produtividade no trabalho, como resultado da espondilite anquilosante, tem se tornado tema de interesse dado o seu impacto socioeconômico. Além das limitações físicas, outras variáveis parecem interferir na produtividade desses pacientes que muitas vezes são aposentados precocemente do mercado de trabalho. Assim, esse manuscrito de revisão buscou identificar artigos publicados na língua inglesa no período de janeiro de 2001 a dezembro de 2011 que discutissem essas variáveis por meio de estudos realizados com pacientes adultos com diagnóstico de espondilite anquilosante, de ambos os gêneros e que usaram instrumentos padronizados para a avaliação da atividade da doença e da capacidade produtiva no trabalho. Foram identificados 33 artigos atendendo aos critérios de inclusão e observou-se que a perda de produtividade no trabalho em pacientes com espondilite anquilosante é influenciada por variáveis demográficas, emocionais, socioculturais e ocupacionais e hábitos de vida. Compreender esses possíveis fatores de risco pode colaborar para a elaboração de estratégias preventivas para a manutenção de pacientes com espondilite anquilosante no mercado de trabalho.


The work productivity loss due to ankylosing spondylitis (AS) has become subject of interest because of its socioeconomic impact. In addition to physical limitations, other variables seem to affect the productivity of those patients, who often withdraw early from the labor force. This review was aimed at identifying articles published in English, from January 2001 to December 2011, which assessed those variables in adult patients of both sexes diagnosed with AS, using standardized instruments to measure disease activity and work productivity. Thirty-three articles meeting the inclusion criteria were identified. The work productivity loss of patients with AS proved to be influenced by demographics, emotional, social, cultural, and occupational factors, and lifestyle. Understanding those potential risk factors may contribute to the development of preventive strategies to maintain patients with AS participating in the labor force.

ABSTRACT

Não há estudo anterior sobre a prevalência de síndrome de Sjögren (SS) no Brasil. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a prevalência de SS na população geral de Vitória, estado do Espírito Santo, Brasil. Trata-se de estudo epidemiológico, observacional e transversal com 1.205 indivíduos randomizados, cujas idades variaram de 18 a 65 anos, residentes em Vitória. Os indivíduos foram triados para xerostomia e xeroftalmia por meio de entrevista domiciliar. Aqueles com sintomas "sicca" foram convidados a comparecer ao hospital para realizar avaliação médica adicional, avaliação do fluxo salivar não estimulado, teste de Schirmer I, exame de sangue e biopsia de glândula salivar labial menor. Os sintomas "sicca" foram identificados em 18% (217 indivíduos) da amostra. Dos 217 indivíduos com sintomas "sicca", 127 (58%) estavam disponíveis para exame. Nessa amostra, 61,7% eram mulheres e 46,8% usavam medicação. A síndrome "sicca" foi confirmada em 12% deles por pelo menos um exame (fluxo salivar ou teste de Schirmer I). Dois pacientes (0,17%) preencheram quatro critérios classificatórios americano-europeus (95% IC = 0,020-0,5983).


There has been no previous prevalence study about of Sjögren's syndrome (SS) in Brazil. The aim was to evaluate the SS prevalence in a general population in Vitória, ES, Brazil. This was an epidemiological, observational, and cross-sectional study conducted on 1,205 randomized people, aged 18-65 years, who lived in Vitória. The subjects were screened for xerostomia and xerofphthalmia through home interviews. Those with sicca symptoms were asked to report to a hospital for further medical evaluation, unstimulated salivary flow, Schirmer I test, blood analysis and minor labial salivary biopsy. Sicca symptoms were found in 18% (217 subjects) of the sample. Of the 217 subjects with sicca symptoms, 127 (58%) were available for examination. In this sample, 61.7% were female and 46.8% were under medication. Sicca syndrome was confirmed in 12% by at least one examination (salivary flow or Schirmer I). Two patients (0.17%) matched four criteria according to American-European Criteria (95% CI = 0.020-0.5983).

ABSTRACT

To review all specific questionnaires regarding quality of life in osteoporosis and to describe their distinctive indications, we searched Medline, the Scientific Electronic Library Online database, and the Latin-American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature database. Nine specific questionnaires related to osteoporosis quality of life were found: 1) the Women's Health Questionnaire, 2) Osteoporosis Quality of Life Questionnaire, 3) Osteoporosis Assessment Questionnaire, 4) Osteoporosis Functional Disability Questionnaire, 5) Quality of Life Questionnaire of the European Foundation for Osteoporosis, 6) Osteoporosis-Targeted Quality of Life Questionnaire, 7) Japanese Osteoporosis Quality of Life Questionnaire, 8) the 16-item Assessment of Health-Related Quality of Life in Osteoporosis, and 9) the Quality of Life Questionnaire in Osteoporosis (QUALIOST TM). The Quality of Life Questionnaire of the European Foundation for Osteoporosis is the osteoporosis-specific questionnaire most commonly used in the literature. The Quality of Life Questionnaire of the European Foundation for Osteoporosis and the Osteoporosis Quality of Life Questionnaire are targeted more toward fracture assessment, and the Osteoporosis Functional Disability Questionnaire can be used for longitudinal studies involving exercise. In the present study, the authors summarize all of the specific questionnaires for osteoporosis and demonstrate that these questionnaires should be selected based on the objectives to be evaluated. Osteoporosis-specific quality of life questionnaires should be validated in the language of the country of origin before being used.

ABSTRACT

Esse artigo descreve quatro dimensões de acesso à saúde - disponibilidade, aceitabilidade, capacidade de pagamento e informação, correlacionado-as aos seus indicadores e tecendo considerações sobre a complexidade do conceito de acesso. Para a revisão desses conceitos foram pesquisadas as bases de dados PubMed/MEDLINE, LILACS, SciELO e World Health Organization Library & Information Networks for Knowledge (WHOLIS). Veículos de grande circulação, como a revista The Economist, o jornal The Washington Post e os arquivos da rede BBC também foram pesquisados. O conceito de acesso à saúde modificou-se ao longo do tempo, tomando uma forma mais complexa. As primeiras análises, datadas da década de 1970, sugeriam uma forte relação do acesso com o aspecto geográfico (disponibilidade) e financeiro (capacidade de pagamento). A literatura mais recente procura abordar aspectos menos tangíveis, como os aspectos cultural, educacional e socioeconômico, incorporando o elemento aceitabilidade nas análises. A literatura mostra ainda que ter informação está na base do acesso à saúde, estando essa noção associada aos conceitos de empoderamento e de letramento para a tomada de decisões de saúde. Concluiu-se que a melhoria do acesso à saúde e a garantia de uma maior equidade não serão obtidas com ações cujo foco se limite aos sistemas de saúde. Em vez disso, dependem de ações inter-setoriais e políticas sociais e econômicas que permitam dissipar diferenças de renda e educação.


This article describes four dimensions of health access-availability, acceptability, ability to pay and information-correlating these dimensions to indica-tors and discussing the complexity of the concept of access. For a study of these four dimensions, searches were conducted using the PubMed/MEDLINE, LILACS, SciELO, and World Health Organization Library & Information Networks for Knowledge (WHOLIS) databases. Large-circulation media vehicles, such as The Economist, The Washington Post, and the BBC network were also searched. The concept of health access has become more complex with time. The first analyses, carried out in the 1970s, suggested a strong emphasis on geographical (availability) and financial (ability to pay) aspects. More recently, the literature has focused on less tangible aspects, such as cultural, educational, and socioeconomic issues, incorporating the element of acceptability into the notion of health access. The literature also shows that information provides the starting point for access to health, in association with health empowerment and literacy for health care decision-making. The study concludes that improvements in access to health and the guarantee of equity will not be achieved by initiatives focusing on health care systems alone, but rather will depend on intersectoral actions and social and economic policies aimed at eliminating income and education differences.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVOS: Avaliar a resposta clínica após a estratégia de troca entre agentes antifator de necrose tumoral alfa (anti-TNF-alfa) em pacientes com artrite reumatoide (AR). PACIENTES E MÉTODOS: Foram incluídos 99 pacientes com diagnóstico de AR (American College of Rheumatology, 1987), em uso de terapia anti-TNF-alfa, para avaliação da resposta terapêutica após 24 semanas. A estratégia de troca foi feita se, após 12 a 24 semanas, houvesse relato de evento adverso sério (T: toxicidade) ou se não ocorresse redução maior que 0,6 do índice de atividade da doença (DAS28) inicial (RI: resposta inadequada). Nesse último caso, o paciente foi considerado como falência primária (FP). Falência secundária (FS) foi definida se houvesse perda de resposta após melhora inicial. Remissão (DAS28 < 2,6), baixa atividade de doença (2,61 < 3,2) e melhora funcional [aumento > 0,2 do questionário de avaliação da saúde (HAQ) inicial] foram avaliadas por análise de regressão linear. P < 0,05 foi considerado significante. RESULTADOS: A estratégia de troca foi realizada em 39 (39,4 por cento) pacientes, especialmente por FP (24,3 por cento), FS (35,1 por cento) e T (40,5 por cento). A taxa de retenção ao primeiro agente foi de 60,1 por cento, e o tempo médio para a troca foi de 14,2 ± 10,9 meses. Após a troca, houve tendência à queda do DAS28 (4,7 ± 1,4; P = 0,08), mas não do HAQ (1,2 ± 0,77; P = 0,11). Cerca de 43 por cento deles alcançaram boa/moderada resposta EULAR. O principal determinante da troca foi o DAS28 inicial mais elevado, independente de idade, tempo de doença e capacidade funcional. CONCLUSÃO: A estratégia de troca entre agentes anti-TNF-alfa é válida para o controle da atividade de doença, embora com baixa probabilidade de remissão e sem melhora significativa da capacidade funcional.


OBJECTIVES: To assess clinical response after switching between anti-tumor necrosis factor-alpha (anti-TNF-alpha) agents in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). PATIENTS AND METHODS: This study included 99 patients diagnosed with RA American College of Rheumatology, 1987), on anti-TNF-alpha therapy, to assess the therapeutic response after 24 weeks. Switching was performed if, after 12 to 24 weeks, a severe adverse event was reported (toxicity: T) or if no reduction greater than 0.6 in the initial Disease Activity Score 28 (DAS28) occurred (inadequate response: IR). In case of IR, the patient was considered as primary failure (PF). Secondary failure (SF) was defined as loss of response after initial improvement. Remission (DAS28 < 2.6), low disease activity (between 2.61 and 3.2), and functional improvement [increase in the initial Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) > 0.2] were assessed by use of linear regression analysis. The significance level adopted was P < 0.05. RESULTS: Switching was performed in 39 (39.4 percent) patients, especially due to PF (24.3 percent), SF (35.1 percent) and T (40.5 percent). The retention rate of the first agent was 60.1 percent, and the mean time for switching was 14.2 ± 10.9 months. After switching, a tendency towards a decrease in DAS28 was observed (4.7 ± 1.4; P = 0.08), but not in the HAQ (1.2 ± 0.77; P = 0.11). Around 43 percent of the patients achieved good/moderate EULAR response. The major determinant of switching was a higher initial DAS28, independent of age, duration of disease, and functional capacity. CONCLUSION: Switching between anti-TNF-alpha agents is a valid strategy to control disease activity, despite the low likelihood of remission and no significant improvement in functional capacity.

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to measure the direct costs of mammogram campaigns conducted by the Regional Health Division of Marília, São Paulo State, Brazil, in 2005 and 2006. A total of 11,952 mammograms were performed. Mammographic outcomes were classified according to BI-RADS. Cost analysis was based on the amount paid by the Brazilian Unified National Health System (SUS). Ten cases of breast cancer were diagnosed (0.84 per 1,000 mammograms), 70 percent of which between 50 and 69 years of age. The campaigns and follow-up cost a total of R$450,019 (U$280,000), with R$431,467 paid for 11,952 mammograms and R$18,552 for diagnosing 29 suspected cases and treating 3 cases of benign tumors and 6 cancer cases. Mean cost per diagnosed case was R$43,268. The high cost per diagnosed case highlights the need to implement effective screening programs and improve the quality of mammography services in this region of São Paulo State.


O objetivo desse estudo foi apresentar os custos diretos dos mutirões de mamografias realizados nos anos de 2005 e 2006 na região da Direção Regional de Saúde de Marília, São Paulo, Brasil. Foram realizadas 11.952 mamografias. A classificação do resultado da mamografia foi feita pelo sistema padronizado BI-RADS e a análise de custos foi baseada nos valores pagos pelo SUS com base nas Tabelas SIA/SUS e SIH/SUS de 2005. Foram diagnosticados 10 casos de câncer de mama (0,84 por 1.000 mamografias), 70 por cento estavam na faixa etária de 50-69 anos. O custo total desses mutirões e acompanhamento foi de R$ 450.019,91, sendo R$ 431.467,20 com o pagamento de 11.952 mamografias e R$ 18.552,71 para a investigação diagnóstica de 29 casos suspeitos, para o tratamento de três casos de tumores benignos e de 6 casos de câncer. O custo de cada caso diagnosticado foi de R$ 43.268,10. O alto custo de cada caso diagnosticado aponta para a necessidade de implementação de programas de rastreamento efetivos e de qualidade da mamografia nesta região do estado.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: This study seeks to present the translation and validation of the SF-6D in the Brazilian context, based on the model and the version developed in the United Kingdom in 2002. METHODS: An observational and transversal study. The tools for assessing quality of life were applied, namely HAQ, SF-36, EQ-5D and SF-6D (2002 version). Descriptive statistics and correlation coefficients were used for data analysis. RESULTS: 200 patients with rheumatoid arthritis, with a mean age of 49.22 years, 11.16 years of disease and mean HAQ 1.02 were studied. Preferences measured by the SF-6D, the EQ-5D and the techniques of EVA, TTO and SG were found to correlate among themselves, with Pearson coefficients from 0.19 to 0.66 (p <0.01). Conclusion: The SF-6D Brazil questionnaire represents a valid option for assessing preferences on economic analysis conducted in Brazil.


OBJETIVO: O presente estudo tem por objetivo apresentar a tradução e a validação do questionário SF-6D (Short-Form 6 dimensions) para o contexto brasileiro, com base no modelo e na versão desenvolvida no Reino Unido em 2002. Métodos: Estudo observacional e transversal. Foram aplicados os instrumentos de avaliação de qualidade de vida: HAQ (Health Assessment Questionaire), SF-36, EQ-5D (EuroQol-5D) e SF-6D (versão de 2002). Estatísticas descritivas e coeficientes de correlação foram usados para a análise dos dados. RESULTADOS: Foram avaliados 200 pacientes portadores de artrite reumatóide, com média de idade de 49,22 anos, tempo medido de doença de 11,16 anos e HAQ médio de 1,02. As preferências mensuradas pelo SF-6D, pelo EQ-5D e pelas técnicas de EVA (escala visual analógica), TTO (time trade-off) e SG (standard gamble) apresentaram correlações significativas entre si, com coeficientes de Pearson variando de 0,19 a 0,66 (p < 0,01). CONCLUSÃO: O questionário SF-6D Brasil representa uma opção de questionário válido para a avaliação de preferências em análises econômicas realizadas em nosso meio.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo deste artigo é avaliar o impacto da doença crônica na qualidade de vida de idosos da comunidade no município de São Paulo (SP). Trata-se de um estudo transversal de indivíduos acima de 60 anos, com aplicação de um questionário clínico-demográfico padronizado e do questionário genérico de qualidade de vida Short-Form 36 items (SF-36). Foram feitas análise estatística descritiva dos dados clínicos e demográficos e análise de variância (ANOVA) para correlação das médias dos domínios do SF-36 com a idade e o número de morbidades. Avaliaram-se 353 indivíduos. A média de idade foi de 71,6 anos, com 48,7 por cento de homens e 51,3 por cento de mulheres. O sexo feminino apresentou os piores níveis de qualidade de vida em todos os domínios avaliados. A análise de variância revelou uma variação significativa da qualidade de vida, em vários domínios, conforme o aumento do número de morbidades. O domínio mais comprometido foi limitação por aspectos físicos (p<0,05). A mesma análise, aplicada às médias dos domínios por faixa etária, mostrou uma relação inversa do domínio capacidade funcional (p<0,05) com a idade. O aumento do número de morbidades e o aumento da idade influenciam de modo significativo vários domínios da qualidade de vida dos idosos. O SF-36 apresenta-se como um instrumento válido para a avaliação de qualidade de vida da população idosa brasileira.


The aim of this article is to evaluate the impact of chronic disease on the quality of life of elderly people living in São Paulo (SP, Brazil). METHODS: cross-sectional study of individuals over 60; application of a standardized questionnaire and the Short-Form 36 item questionnaire. Statistical analysis describes the clinical and demographic data and ANOVA was used for the correlation of the SF-36 domains with age and the number of morbidities. 353 individuals were evaluated. The mean age was 71.6 years, with 48.7 percent men and 51.3 percent women. The women presented the worst levels of quality of life in all domains evaluated. ANOVA revealed significant variation in the quality of life in several areas as the number of morbidities increased. The most compromised domain was physical aspects (p<0.05). The same analysis, applied to the average of the domains by age group, showed an inverse relation of Functional Capacity (p<0.05) with age. The increase in the number of morbidities and the increasing age significantly affect several areas of quality of life in the elderly. The SF-36 appears to be a valid instrument for assessing quality of life of the elderly Brazilian population.

ABSTRACT

The objective of this study was to assess the quality of life in the Brazilian adult population, based on the U.S. standard population. It involved a cross-sectional population-based study with probabilistic sampling of 2,420 individuals (725 men and 1695 women) aged 40 or more in different geographic regions of Brazil. A socio-demographic questionnaire and the SF-8 (Short Form-8) were administered in interview form. Descriptive statistics, analysis of variance, the Mann-Whitney test and Tukey's test were used in the analysis. Females, populations in the northeastern region, the population of the regions of Brasília (Distrito Federal), Campo Grande (Mato Grosso do Sul State) and Goiania (Goiás State), Brazil, demonstrated worse quality of life. Age, education and income had influence over quality of life domains. This study presents quality of life estimates for the Brazilian adult population, based on the SF-8 questionnaire. The mean values on the subscales and components of the SF-8 appeared to be influenced by gender, geographic region, family income, age and schooling.


Avaliar a qualidade de vida da população adulta brasileira, com base em normas populacionais norte-americanas. Estudo transversal de base populacional, por amostragem probabilística. Dois mil, quatrocentos e vinte indivíduos (725 homens e 1.695 mulheres) com idade de 40 anos ou mais foram avaliados em diferentes regiões geográficas brasileiras. Um questionário sociodemográfico e o SF-8 (Short Form-8) foram aplicados através de entrevista. Estatísticas descritivas, a análise de variância (ANOVA), o teste de Mann-Whitney e o teste de Tukey foram utilizados. O sexo feminino, a população da Região Nordeste e de Brasília (Distrito Federal), Goiânia (Goiás) e Campo Grande (Mato Grosso do Sul) apresentaram os piores níveis de qualidade de vida. A idade, a escolaridade e a renda familiar influenciaram negativamente vários domínios de qualidade de vida. O presente estudo apresenta estimativas de qualidade de vida, baseadas no SF-8, para a população adulta brasileira. As médias dos domínios e componentes sumários do SF-8 parecem sofrer influência do sexo, da região geográfica, da renda familiar, da idade e da escolaridade dos participantes.

ABSTRACT

O Lúpus Eritematoso Sistêmico (LES) é uma doença inflamatória crônica, multissistêmica, de natureza autoimune, de etiologia multifatorial, cujo diagnóstico baseia-se no quadro clínico somado a parâmetros laboratoriais. Este estudo teve como objetivo investigar medidas de avaliação em LES disponíveis na literatura, a partir do método da revisão integrativa de literatura. O levantamento bibliográfico foi realizado por meio de busca por artigos científicos indexados em bancos de dados de ciências da saúde em geral como Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), MEDLINE/Pubmed e Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SCIELO). Utilizaram-se os seguintes descritores: assessment and lupus, quality of life and lupus, damage and lupus, activity index and lupus e patient outcomes and lupus. As publicações selecionadas mostraram três domínios de avaliação da enfermidade: medidas de avaliação de atividade da doença, medidas de avaliação de danos causados pela doença e medidas de avaliação de qualidade de vida. O estudo mostrou que a percepção do estado de saúde e da qualidade de vida dos pacientes, bem como o impacto da doença e de seu tratamento, podem ser melhor avaliados com a utilização das medidas propostas pelos autores.


Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic inflammatory, multisystem, autoimmune and multifactorial disease, whose diagnosis is based on clinical and laboratorial parameters. This study aimed at investigating assessing measures in SLE available in the literature by using the method of integrative review of the literature. The bibliographic research was conducted through the search for scientific articles indexed in general health sciences databases, such as the Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences (LILACS), MEDLINE/PubMed, and Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO). The following descriptors were used: "assessment and lupus"; "quality of life and lupus"; "damage and lupus"; "activity index and lupus"; and "patient outcomes and lupus". The selected publications showed three domains of SLE assessment: assessing measures of disease activity; assessing measures of damage caused by the disease; and assessing measures of quality of life. The study showed that the patients' perception of health status and quality of life and the impact of the disease and its treatment can be better evaluated using the measures proposed by the authors.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: 1) To characterize the impact of multiple myeloma on the quality of life of patients treated in two public institutions in São Paulo State, Brazil, using a generic Short Form 36 Health Survey and a questionnaire specific for oncologic patients (QLQ-C30) upon diagnosis, after the clinical treatment, and at day +100 after autologous stem cell transplantation; 2) to evaluate whether autologous stem cell transplantation can improve the quality of life of our economically challenged population aside from providing a clinical benefit and disease control. METHODS: We evaluated 49 patients with multiple myeloma (a total of 70 interviews) using the two questionnaires. The scores upon diagnosis, post-treatment/pre-autologous stem cell transplantation, and at D+100 were compared using ANOVA (a comparison of the three groups), post hoc tests (two-by-two comparisons of the three groups), and paired t-tests (the same case at two different times). RESULTS: Of the included patients, 87.8 percent had a family budget under US $600 (economic class C, D, or E) per month. The generic Short Form 36 Health Survey questionnaire demonstrated that physical function, role-physical, and bodily pain indices were statistically different across all three groups, favoring the D+100 autologous stem cell transplantation group (ANOVA). The questionnaire specific for oncologic patients, the QLQ-C30 questionnaire, confirmed what had been demonstrated by the Short Form 36 Health Survey with respect to physical function and bodily pain, with improvements in role functioning, fatigue, and lack of appetite and constipation, favoring the D+100 autologous stem cell transplant group (ANOVA). The post hoc tests and paired t-tests confirmed a better outcome after autologous stem cell transplantation CONCLUSION: The questionnaire specific for cancer patients seems to be more informative than the generic Short Form 36 Health Survey questionnaire and reflects the real benefit of autologous stem cell transplantation in the quality of life of multiple myeloma patients in two public Brazilian institutions that provide assistance for economically challenged patients.

ABSTRACT

A análise das redes sociais (ARS), definida como um conjunto de relações interpessoais a partir das quais a pessoa mantém sua própria identidade social, nos permite conhecer como elas refletem e influenciam os comportamentos e despertar para a análise dos fatores sociais que possam interferir na saúde. Esta interação se torna possível a partirdo momento em que a saúde passa a ser compreendida enquanto um fenômeno social, produto da interação humana, com a redução da concepção da saúde como negação da doença para uma visão mais complexa de uma série de determinantes sociais, culturais, afetivos e econômicos. Este trabalho considera que além dos fatores clássicos relacionados às mudanças dos comportamentos alimentares como educação alimentar e nutricional, as intervenções médicas, disponibilidade de alimentos e informações dos meios de comunicação, outros elementos podem afetá-los tais como os fatores culturais e os contatos sociais, ou seja, os comportamentos e a comunicação entre as pessoas de uma determinada rede social. A ARS torna-se, portanto uma ferramentaimportante para a compreensão do contexto social que se pretende trabalhar, para planejar da melhor maneira as ações necessárias para a melhoria da saúde entre elas de programas educativos que visem melhorias do estado nutricional.


The analysis of social networks of a person, can be defined as a set of interpersonal relations from which one maintains his or her personal social identity, this allows us to understand as to how they reflect and influence the behaviors, thus enhancing the analysis of social factors that can intervene in ones health. The interaction between social network and health becomes possible from the moment when health can be comprehended as a social phenomenon, product of human interaction, with a decline in denial of health conception as illness to a complex vision of a series of social determinants, cultural and economics. The present study considers that apart from classic factors related to changesin alimentation behavior such as education, nutrition, medical interventions, availability and information through medias of communication, other factors do play an important role such as cultural factors and social contacts, in other words, behavior and communication between people of a determined social network.Thus, the analysis of social network becomes therefore an important tool for comprehension in a social context. This concept will be utilized in this work for planning the best methods and necessary actions in health improvement between educational programs that are aimed in improvement of nutritional state.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUÇÃO/OBJETIVOS: O BRAZOS (The Brazilian Osteoporosis Study) é um estudo epidemiológico, de base populacional, realizado em amostra representativa de mulheres e homens brasileiros, de idade superior a 40 anos, com o objetivo de identificar os principais fatores clínicos de risco associados com fratura por baixo impacto. Nesse artigo são apresentados os principais resultados do estudo, de acordo com cada região do país. PACIENTES E MÉTODOS: Um total de 2.420 indivíduos, provenientes das cinco regiões do país e de todas as classes socioeconômicas foram incluídos no estudo. Foram avaliados dados antropométricos, bem como aspectos relacionados aos hábitos de vida, fraturas, ingestão alimentar, atividade física, quedas e qualidade de vida por meio de entrevista individual e quantitativa. Fratura por baixo impacto foi definida como aquela decorrente de queda da própria altura ou menos. Valor de P < 0,05 foi considerado como estatisticamente significante. RESULTADOS: Não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa da prevalência de fratura nas cinco regiões do Brasil, de acordo com o sexo ou classe social. No entanto, nas mulheres, houve maior ocorrência de fraturas na região metropolitana do que nos municípios do interior dos estados e tendência a maior frequência de fraturas em homens da região nordeste. Não foi verificada diferença estatisticamente significativa de fraturas se os homens eram provenientes das capitais ou do interior dos estados. CONCLUSÕES: De acordo com os nossos resultados, não foi observada diferença significativa da prevalência de fraturas por baixo impacto nem da frequência ou relevância de fatores de risco entre as cinco regiões do Brasil.


OBJECTIVES: The BRAZOS (The Brazilian Osteoporosis Study) study is the first epidemiological and population-based study carried out in a representative sample of Brazilian men and women, 40 years or older, with the objective of identifying the prevalence and main clinical risk factors (CRF) associated with low-impact fractures. This report shows the main results according to each region of the country. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 2,420 subjects (70 percent women) from 150 different cities in five geographic regions in Brazil, and from all different socio-economical classes were included in this study. Anthropometrical data, as well life style, previous fractures, nutritional status, physical activity, falls, and quality of life were evaluated by a quantitative individual survey. Low-impact fracture was defined as that resulting from a fall no greater than standing height of an individual. A P < 0.05 was considered significant. RESULTS: Statistically significant differences in the prevalence of fractures among the five Brazilian regions according to gender or social class were not observed. However, in women, a higher incidence of fractures was observed in metropolitan areas than in rural areas, and a tendency for a higher frequency of fractures was observed in men from Northeastern states. Statistically significant differences among men from metropolitan areas or rural areas were not observed. CONCLUSIONS: Significant differences in the prevalence of low-impact fractures among the five different regions of Brazil were not observed, as well as its frequency or relevance of risk factors.

ABSTRACT

The objective of the study was to estimate the frequency of recurrent falls and identify the main associated risk factors. The BRAZOS is the first epidemiological study performed on a representative sample of the Brazilian population. Anthropometric data, living habits, previous fractures, falls, dietary intake, physical activity and quality of life were evaluated in 2,420 individuals aged 40 and older. Recurrent falls were reported by 15.5 percent of men and 25.6 percent of women. Among women, the risk factors significantly associated to recurrent falls were age, previous fracture, sedentary lifestyle, poor quality of life, diabetes mellitus and current use of benzodiazepine. In men, the risk factors were age, poor quality of life, intake of alcoholic beverages, diabetes mellitus, previous fracture and use of benzodiazepine. A greater intake of vitamin D had a protector effect on the risk of recurrent falls. These findings demonstrated the high prevalence of recurrent falls and emphasize that a multidisciplinary approach is necessary to minimize recurrent falls and their consequences, including osteoporotic fractures.


Estimar a freqüência de quedas recorrentes e identificar os principais fatores de risco associados. O BRAZOS é o primeiro estudo epidemiológico realizado em amostragem representativa da população brasileira. Dados antropométricos, hábitos de vida, fratura prévia, quedas, dieta, atividade física e qualidade de vida foram avaliados em 2.420 indivíduos adultos. Quedas recorrentes foram referidas por 15,5 por cento dos homens e 25,6 por cento das mulheres. Nas mulheres, os fatores de risco associados com quedas recorrentes foram idade, fratura prévia, sedentarismo, pior qualidade de vida, diabete mellitus e uso atual de benzodiazepínicos. Nos homens, foram idade, pior qualidade de vida, consumo de bebidas alcoólicas, diabete mellitus, fratura prévia e uso atual de benzodiazepínicos. Maior ingestão de vitamina D desempenhou efeito protetor sobre o risco de quedas recorrentes. Esses achados demonstram elevada prevalência de quedas recorrentes e enfatizam a necessidade de uma abordagem multidisciplinar a fim de minimizá-las bem como de suas conseqüências como as fraturas por osteoporose.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Comparar as medidas de preferência derivadas do SF-36 a partir das duas versões brasileiras do questionário Short-Form 6 Dimensions - Brasil (SF-6D Brasil). MÉTODOS: Estudo observacional e transversal. Foram aplicados os instrumentos de avaliação de qualidade de vida: HAQ, SF-36, EQ-5D e SF-6D (versão de 1998 e 2002). Estatísticas descritivas e coeficientes de correlação foram usados para a análise dos dados. RESULTADOS: Foram avaliados 200 pacientes portadores de artrite reumatoide, com média de idade de 49,22 anos, tempo medido de doença de 11,16 anos e HAQ médio de 1,02. As preferências mensuradas pelas duas versões do SF-6D e pelo EQ-5D apresentaram correlações significativas entre si com coeficientes de Pearson variando de 0,59 a 0,88 (p<0,01). CONCLUSÃO: A versão mais atual do SF-6D, baseada no modelo de 2002, apresenta-se válida quando comparada com a versão inicialmente validada para o Brasil e representa uma opção de questionário para a avaliação de preferências em análises econômicas realizadas em nosso meio.


OBJECTIVE: To compare the preference measurements of the SF-36, derived from two Brazilian versions of the questionnaire Short Form 6 Dimensions - Brazil (SF-6D Brazil). METHODS: Cross-sectional study. We applied the tools to assess quality of life: HAQ, SF-36, EQ-5D and SF-6D (version 1998 and 2002). Descriptive statistics and correlation coefficients were used for data analysis. RESULTS: We studied 200 patients with rheumatoid arthritis, with a mean age of 49.22 years, 11.16 years of disease and mean HAQ 1.02. Preferences measured by the two versions of the SF-6D and the EQ-5D showed significant correlations between each other, with Pearson coefficients ranging from 0.59 to 0.88 (p <0.01). CONCLUSION: The latest version of the SF-6D based on the model 2002 is presented as a valid measurement when compared to the originally validated questionnaire in Brazil and represents an option for assessing preferences for economic analyses conducted in this country.

ABSTRACT

As life expectancy continues to rise, one of the greatest challenges of public health is to improve the quality of later years of life. The aim of this present study was to analyze the quality of life profile of the elderly across different demographic and socioeconomic factors. A cross-sectional study was carried out in two stages, involving 1,958 individuals aged 60 years or more. Health related quality of life (HRQOL) was assessed using the SF-36 questionnaire. The lowest scores were found among measures for vitality, mental health and general health and the highest among factors including social functioning and role limitations due to emotional and physical factors. HRQOL was found to be worse among women, in individuals at advanced ages, those who practiced evangelical religions and those with lower levels of income and schooling. The greatest differences in SF-36 scores between the categories were observed in functional capacity and physical factors. The results suggest that healthcare programs for the elderly should take into account the multi-dimensionality of health and social inequalities so that interventions can target the most affected elements of HRQOL as well as the most vulnerable subgroups of the population.


Com o aumento da esperança de vida, a melhoria da qualidade de vida dos anos conquistados passou a ser um dos maiores desafios da saúde pública. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde (QVRS) de idosos do sudeste brasileiro segundo fatores demográficos e sócio-econômicos. O estudo transversal, de base populacional, incluiu 1.958 indivíduos com 60 anos ou mais. A QVRS foi avaliada com o instrumento SF-36. As menores médias de escores foram observadas nos domínios de vitalidade, saúde mental e estado geral de saúde, e as mais altas em aspectos emocionais, sociais e físicos. Apresentaram pior QVRS os idosos do sexo feminino, de idade mais avançada, com menor nível de renda, menor escolaridade e de religião evangélica. As maiores diferenças de escores entre os subgrupos sócio-demográficos foram observadas nos domínios de capacidade funcional e aspectos físicos. Os resultados apontam a necessidade dos programas de saúde levarem em conta a multidimensionalidade da saúde e as significativas desigualdades sociais presentes, de forma a priorizar os componentes mais comprometidos da QVRS e os subgrupos populacionais mais vulneráveis.
