RESUMEN
To ensure safe, optimal, and personalized physical activity, exercise, or sport during pregnancy, the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology (CSEP), the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada (SOGC), the College of Family Physicians of Canada, the Women's Health Division of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association, developed the Get Active Questionnaire for Pregnancy (GAQ_P) as a pre-assessment to identify women who may have a relative or absolute contraindication to prenatal exercise that requires further consultation with a health professional to determine if exercise can or should be continued or initiated during pregnancy. This study aims to translate and cross-culturally adapt the GAQ_P for use in Colombian Spanish. The original instrument was developed in English and French for the evaluation of the health of pregnant women before the beginning of physical activity and the guidelines for the same. Ten steps were followed according to the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR) Translation and Cultural Adaptation guidelines, with the participation of 4 experts. The comprehensibility of the instrument was 99% which shows a high percentage of intelligibility of the document. This article describes the translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the GAQ_P for use in Colombian Spanish, contributing positively to pre-exercise screening during pregnancy in Colombia.
RESUMEN
Introducción. La fibromialgia es una enfermedad crónica caracterizada por dolor musculoesquelético generalizado que puede producir deterioro en la capacidad cardiorrespiratoria; sin embargo, hasta la fecha no está claro cuál es el compromiso cardiorrespiratorio en los pacientes con esta condición. Objetivos. Determinar la capacidad cardiorrespiratoria de los pacientes con fibromialgia y analizar las diferencias con controles sanos. Métodos. Se realizó una búsqueda sistemática en las bases de datos PubMed, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, Redalyc, Scopus, Lilacs y Google Scholar. Se incluyeron estudios observacionales publicados en inglés, español y portugués que evaluaran la capacidad cardiorrespiratoria en pacientes con fibromialgia en comparación con sujetos sanos. La calidad metodológica se evaluó mediante la escala Newcastle-Ottawa. Bajo un modelo de efectos aleatorios, el tamaño del efecto combinado se calculó con la diferencia de medias estandarizadas y su intervalo de confianza del 95%; la heterogeneidad se analizó mediante la prueba I-cuadrado (I2). Se realizó análisis de subgrupos para evaluar la influenciadel tipo de prueba de ejercicio clínica utilizada. Resultados. Se incluyeron 14 estudios, con un total de 1.623 participantes (todos de sexo femenino), que cumplieron los criterios de inclusión. Se encontró una diferencia significativa en la distancia recorrida en la prueba de la caminata de seis minutos en mujeres con fibromialgia en comparación con mujeres sanas. Los estudios con ergoespirometría presentaron resultados no concluyentes. Conclusiones. Los pacientes con fibromialgia presentan una menor capacidad cardiorrespiratoria en la prueba de la caminata de seis minutos en comparación con los controles sanos. En este sentido, se necesitan investigaciones que permitan establecer métodos adecuados de medición de la aptitud cardiorrespiratoria que tengan en cuenta las condiciones particulares de los pacientes con esta enfermedad.
Introduction. Fibromyalgia is a chronic disease characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain that can lead to deterioration in cardiorespiratory capacity; however, to date it is not clear what the cardiorespiratory compromise is in patients with this condition. Objectives. To determine the cardiorespiratory capacity of patients with fibromyalgia and analyze the differences with healthy controls. Methods: A systematic search was performed in PubMed, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, Redalyc, Scopus, Lilacs and Google Scholar databases. Observational studies published in English, Spanish and Portuguese that assessed the car-diorespiratory capacity in patients with fibromyalgia compared with healthy subjects were included. The methodolog-ical quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. Under a random-effects model, the pooled effect size was calculated with the standardized mean difference and its 95% confidence interval; heterogeneity was analyzed using the I-square (I2) test. Subgroup analyses were performed to assess the influence of the type of clinical exercise testing used. Results. 14 studies, with a total of 1623 participants (all women), that met the inclusion criteria were included. A sig-nificant difference in distance covered on the six-minute walk test was found in women with fibromyalgia compared with healthy women. the studies with ergospirometry showed inconclusive results. Conclusions. Patients with fibromyalgia have lower cardiorespiratory capacity on the six-minute walk test compared to healthy controls. In this sense, research is needed to establish adequate methods of measuring cardiorespiratory fitness that take into account the particular conditions of the patients with this disease.
