RESUMO

Introducción. Durante la infancia, los niños pueden experimentar algún grado de dificultad al comer. Existe una herramienta, desarrollada en Estados Unidos, de evaluación de la alimentación pediátrica (PediEAT), que permite identificar síntomas problemáticos. Objetivo. Realizar una adaptación transcultural para una versión argentina, con adecuación cultural y equivalencia semántica respecto a su versión original. Población y métodos. Se utilizó una versión autoadministrada del PediEAT que fue respondida por familias y/o cuidadores de niños de 6 meses a 7 años. Se realizó una primera fase de evaluación de validez del contenido con un grupo de expertos. Luego, una fase de pretest con familias mediante entrevistas cognitivas para comprobar la comprensión de las palabras y frases. Se realizaron las modificaciones necesarias para que quedara adaptada al contexto. Resultados. En la fase de evaluación de validez del contenido con el grupo de 8 expertos, de los 80 ítems se modificaron 36. En el pretest, se realizaron entrevistas cognitivas a 18 cuidadores; se realizaron cambios en 11 ítems para mejorar la comprensión por parte de la población argentina. La versión argentina fue aprobada por los autores originales. Conclusiones. El instrumento PediEAT versión argentina resulta lingüísticamente equivalente a su versión original, lo que permite su uso para la detección de problemáticas alimentarias en niños.


Introduction. During childhood, children may experience some degree of difficulty eating. A tool (PediEAT) has been developed in the United States and is available to assess pediatric eating and to identify problematic symptoms. Objective. To obtain an Argentine version that is transculturally adapted, culturally adequate, and semantically equivalent to the original version. Population and methods. A self-administered version of the PediEAT was used and completed by families and/or caregivers of children aged 6 months to 7 years. In the first phase, content validity was assessed by a group of experts. This was followed by a pre-test phase with families using cognitive interviews to test word and phrase comprehension. The necessary changes were made to obtain a version adapted to the context. Results. The tool's content validity was assessed by a group of 8 experts; as a result, 36 of the 80 items were changed. During the pre-test phase, cognitive interviews were conducted with 18 caregivers; 11 items were changed to improve comprehension by the Argentine population. The Argentine version was approved by the original authors. Conclusions. The Argentine version of the PediEAT tool is linguistically equivalent to the original version, and this allows its use to screen for feeding problems in children.

RESUMO

OBJETIVO: Describir el estado nutricional de niños con parálisis cerebral (PC) en centros de rehabilitación y terapéuticos de Argentina, y analizar el riesgo de desnutrición en relación su nivel según el sistema de la clasificación de la función motora gruesa (GMFCS). MÉTODO: Este fue un estudio transversal con datos recolectados de 321 niños (196 varones, 125 mujeres) con PC de 2 a 19 años (edad media 9 años 3 meses, DE 4 años) de 17 centros de rehabilitación y terapéuticos en cinco provincias argentinas. El estado nutricional se definió con puntajes z según peso, talla e índice de masa corporal para la edad utilizando patrones de crecimiento de la Organización Mundial de la Salud. Se utilizó Odds ratio para evaluar la asociación entre el nivel GMFCS y el estado nutricional. RESULTADOS: De los niños con PC estudiados, 52.4% tenían nivel IV y V de GMFCS. En cuanto al estado nutricional, 41,7% eran normales, 19,0% tenían desnutrición moderada, 33,9% desnutrición severa, 2,5 % sobrepeso, y 2,8% obesidad. En comparación con los niños con niveles I-III de GMFCS, los niños con niveles IV y V de GMFCS presentaron 4 veces más probabilidades de presentar desnutrición moderada y 14 veces más probabilidades de tener desnutrición severa. INTERPRETACIÓN: Existe una alta prevalencia de desnutrición asociada a la PC (niveles IV y V de GMFCS) entre niños de centros de rehabilitación y terapéuticos en Argentina. El riesgo de desnutrición severa aumenta cuando aumenta el compromiso motor.

RESUMO

AIM: To describe the nutritional status of children with cerebral palsy (CP) from rehabilitation and therapeutic centers in Argentina, and to analyze their risk of undernutrition based on their Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) level. METHOD: This was a cross-sectional study with data collected from 321 children (196 males, 125 females) with CP age 2 to 19 years (mean age 9y 3mo, SD 4y 5mo) from 17 rehabilitation and therapeutic centers in five Argentine provinces. Nutritional status was defined by height, weight, and body mass index for age z-scores using World Health Organization growth charts. Odds ratios were used to evaluate the association between GMFCS level and nutritional status. RESULTS: Of the children with CP studied, 52.4% were in GMFCS levels IV and V. Regarding the nutritional status, 41.7% were normal, 19.0% had moderate undernutrition, 33.9% severe undernutrition, 2.5% overweight, and 2.8% obese. When compared to those in GMFCS levels I to III, the odds of children in GMFCS levels IV and V having moderate undernutrition are four times greater and the odds of having severe undernutrition are 14 times greater. INTERPRETATION: There is a high prevalence of undernutrition associated with CP (GMFCS levels IV and V) among children in rehabilitation and therapeutic centers in Argentina. Risk of severe undernutrition increases with increased motor compromises.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Measurement of height is essential in the anthropometric assessment of growth and nutritional status. In some conditions, height measurement may be difficult or impossible. Proxy measurement such as knee height (KH) have been proposed to predict stature in such cases, but reference percentile ranges and charts for healthy, well-nourished children are currently unavailable. This study was designed to develop sex-specific KH reference percentile ranges and charts in Argentine children ranging from 2 to 18 years of age. METHODS: We collected and analyzed cross-sectional data for KH from 861 Argentine children and adolescents aged 2 to 18 years. Generalized additive models for location, scale, and shape were used to calculate semiparametric smoothed percentile reference ranges, and charts by age and sex. Linear regression and correlation analyses were performed to know the association between KH and height. RESULTS: The new reference ranges show that KH growth rose sharply until puberty. Peak KH velocity occurs 1 year earlier than peak height velocity. At puberty KH growth decelerated rapidly in females and increased slightly until 15 years and plateaued at this age, while it had a more gradual deceleration in males up to 11 years old, later increased slightly until 17 years and plateaued at this age. The correlation coefficient between height and KH was r = 0.98 for both sexes (p < .001). CONCLUSIONS: The new reference percentile ranges for KH measures for healthy children and adolescents provide a useful growth and nutritional assessment tool in a wide variety of settings. KH has a strong agreement with stature.
