title: Respiratory muscle strength and quality of life in children and adolescent with cystic fibrosis

description: ABSTRACT Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a multisystemic genetic disease characterized by chronic obstruction that, associated with other pulmonary changes, can compromise respiratory muscle strength (RMS) and, consequently, interfere with the performance of typical childhood activities, changing the quality of life(QOL) of this population. The aim of the study was to evaluate the relationship between RMS and QOL of children and adolescents with CF. This is a cross-sectional study, which included patients without acute pulmonary exacerbation, aged between 6 and 14 years, from a reference center in Brazil. Anthropometric and RMS assessments were performed, using maximum inspiratory (MIP) and expiratory (MEP) pressures using digital manovacuometry (Globalmed® MVD300). The Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire was applied, a specific questionnaire to assess QOL in this disease, in versions for children (QOL-C) and for parents or guardians (QOL-P). The severity of the disease was classified according to the Schwachman Doeurshuk score (ESD). Data on colonization and genotype were consulted through the analysis of medical records. The data was analyzed using the SPSS version 20.0 for Windows software. After the Shapiro-Wilkt test, Pearson’s or Spearman’s correlation test was applied. Throughout the analysis, a significance level of 5% was adopted. Twenty-eight children (15 boys) participated in the study, with a mean age of 10.10 ± 1.79 years, who had a near-predicted RMS and QOL scores indicating good QOL. The ESD was negatively related to the digestive domain (p=0.03; rho=-0.400). MEP showed a negative correlation with the QOL-P body domain (p=0.002; rho=-0.426) and with the QOL-C treatment domain (p=0.01; rho=-0.453). MIP showed a positive correlation with the physical (p=0.03; rho=0.410), emotional (p=≤0.001; rho=0.573) and treatment (p=≤0.01; rho=-0.605) domains of the QOL-C. MIP also showed a positive correlation with the respiratory domain (p=0.01; rho=0.572) of the QOL-P. In conclusion, an association was identified between QOL and RMS domains, as well as with ESD and nutritional aspects. This sample showed higher than expected RMS values and good QOL.

title: Congenital diaphragmatic hernia: clinical and hospital aspects in a maternal and child reference hospital in the Amazon region

description: ABSTRACT The aim of this study is to analyze the clinical and hospital profile of newborns diagnosed with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) from 2008 to 2018 in a maternal and child reference hospital. It is a cross-sectional and descriptive analytical study, which mainly included data from medical records with the codes Q79.0, Q79.1, J98.6, K44 and K44.0 of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10). The exclusion criteria of medical records were the diagnosis of other types of diaphragmatic hernia, without the congenital aspect; hospitalization in units that were not Neonatal ICUs; and the age at admission equal to or greater than 29 days. A total of 25,602 records were analyzed, of which 14 corresponded to CDH. The gender involvement was 71.43% male (10 cases) and 28.57% female (4), with 21.34% of Bochdalek-type CDH located on the right (3) and 78.57% on the left (11). All newborns in this study underwent invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) 9.21 ± 5.55 days. Surgery was indicated in 11 cases (78.57%), with thoracotomy access routes in four (36.36%) and subcostal laparotomy in seven (63.64%), all using a chest tube homolateral to the hemithorax. The total hospital stay was 19.42 ± 15.36 days. There was an improved discharge evolution in eight patients (57.14%) and the death of six (42.86%), with ages around 6.19 ± 4.79 days, with no follow-up of neuropsychomotor development afterwards. There were low incidences of cases per year, the gender involvement, the associated malformations and the IMV time were similar to other populations in the world.

title: Relationship between functional independence and grip strength in adult patients treated at intermediate care

description: ABSTRACT Patients that leave intensive care for intermediate care present compromised muscle strength and functionality. In this context, our main objective was to describe the correlation between functional independence and handgrip strength in adult patients at intermediate care unit (IMCU). This was an analytical, correlational, and prospective study that compared patients admitted to IMCU after a stay of more than 24 hours in intensive care, with invasive or non-invasive ventilatory support. We used Barthel index (BI) and hand dynamometry at admission/discharge from IMCU. In total, 69 patients were included, 62.3% were men, with an average age of 63 years and a stay in intermediate care of five days. On admission to IMCU, 31.9% had complete dependence and 66.7% severe dependence. The most compromised categories were "bathroom use" and "stairs". On the other hand, "dressing" was the one with the greatest improvement (admission 24.6%, discharge 82.5%). A positive correlation [(r=0.4) and (p=0.000)] was identified between functionality and grip strength at admission and was maintained at discharge [(r=0.6) and (p=0.000)]. We identified a positive correlation between BI scores and handgrip strength, remaining stronger at IMCU discharge.

title: Epidemiological characteristics of cerebral palsy in children and adolescents in a Brazilian northeast capital

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed to describe the prevalence of cerebral palsy among children and adolescents, its subtypes, associated comorbidities, and socioeconomic characteristics of families. This is a cross-sectional epidemiological study conducted from a population-based survey on cerebral palsy among children and adolescents in the city of Aracaju, Sergipe, Brazil. Results: Based on guardians’ answers to the proposed questionnaire, we obtained data on 240 children and adolescents with cerebral palsy in Aracaju. The period prevalence of cerebral palsy was 1.37 per 1,000 people. Some neighborhoods showed a prevalence three to four times higher than that found to the overall city, indicating that the total prevalence is not a homogeneous indicator. Most participants were male (56.25%), self-declared as mixed-race or Black (67.50%), and aged 8.56 years on average. Bilateral spastic was the most prevalent cerebral palsy subtype (45.42%), and epilepsy was the most common comorbidity (48.33%) along with intellectual disability. Household monthly income was $ 252.87. Our results indicate that children and adolescents with cerebral palsy are mostly from minoritized groups, Black or mixed-race, and live in extreme poverty.

title: Are SPADI score, age, level of education, and gender predictive of self-efficacy in patients with shoulder pain?

description: ABSTRACT Factors such as schooling level, age and gender are associated with a more intense pain and a higher level of dysfunction in the shoulder and self-efficacy can modify the effect that pain and dysfunction have on patients’ clinical outcomes. Our study investigated if the score on the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI), age, schooling level and gender are predictive of self-efficacy in patients with shoulder pain. It also verified if there are differences in levels of pain and disability between age groups and genders. Sociodemographic data and scores from the SPADI and the Chronic Pain Self-Efficacy Scale (CPSS) from a database of patients treated at a public physical therapy clinic specialized in shoulder were analyzed. In total, 123 patients with a mean age of 54 (±11.54), SPADI of 67.56 (±22.54) and CPSS of 182.22 (±61.76) were analyzed. Multiple linear regression analysis showed SPADI as the only predictive factor of self-efficacy (β=-1.39 [95%CI=-1.84 to -0.93], p&lt;0.001), explaining 23% of its variance (r2=0.23). ANOVA showed that the SPADI score was significantly different between genders (mean difference=22.27; p&lt;0.001), but was similar between age groups (mean difference=7.04, p=0.16). We concluded that patients that complained of shoulder pain in a public shoulder physical therapy clinic were middle-aged women, who attended only up to middle school, had significant pain and disability, and high self-efficacy. The SPADI score can partially predict self-efficacy.

title: Correlation of respiratory muscle strength with anthropometric measures and physical activity level in adults in primary care

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed to correlate respiratory muscle strength with anthropometric measures and physical activity level in adults in primary care. This cross-sectional study was conducted in a basic health unit with individuals of both genders aged 18 years or older. Respiratory muscle strength was analyzed by maximal inspiratory (MIP) and expiratory (MEP) pressures using a manovacuometer. Values above 80% of the predicted were considered normal. Anthropometric data was obtained using a mechanical scale, stadiometer, and measuring tape, namely: body mass index (BMI); neck (NC), waist (WC), and hip (HC) circumference; waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and body adiposity index (BAI). Physical activity level was determined by the international physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ), where individuals were categorized into sedentary, irregularly active A, irregularly active B, active, or very active. The instrument also estimated the achieved metabolic equivalents (MET). Our study sample comprised 110 adults (78.1% female; 51.9±12.3 years) with 96.3 ± 32.4% MIP and 98.9 ± 27.3 % MEP in relation to the predicted. The %MIP showed a weak correlation with BAI (r=0.23; p=0.01) and HC (r=0.20; p=0.03), and %MEP with BMI (r=0.26; p&lt;0, 01) and BAI (r=0.30; p&lt;0.01). We verified no difference between the average %MIP (p=0.61) and %MEP (p=0.54) within the IPAQ categories and no correlations (p&gt; 0.05) with the estimated MET. Respiratory muscle strength of adults in primary care showed a weak correlation with BMI, HC, and BAI, and no correlation with physical activity level.

title: Applicability of Brazilian reference equations for the 6-minute walk test in patients with lung cancer

description: ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to verify the impact of using different Brazilian reference equations for the distance covered in the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) in the evaluation of functional exercise capacity in patients with lung cancer (LC). This cross-sectional study included 48 patients with LC (average age of 60±12 years-old). The participants underwent an assessment of sociodemographic and clinical characteristics and their functional exercise capacity with the 6MWT, following international recommendations. Five equations were analyzed. The distance covered by the patients (503±102 meters) was relatively close to the distances predicted by the reference equations (82-94% of the predicted), although statistically lower (p&lt;0.05 for all).

title: Brazilian version of the Preschool-age Children’s Physical Activity Questionnaire (Pre-PAQ)

description: ABSTRACT The translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the Preschool-age Children’s Physical Activity Questionnaire into Brazilian Portuguese was carried out. The questionnaire was translated into two different versions by two professionals proficient in the English language. Based on these two independent translations, a single translation was created, which was then back translated into English by two other translators. The back-translations went through a new consensus process, which generated a single version, that was compared with the original English questionnaire. The Brazilian Portuguese version of the questionnaire, called “Questionário de Atividade Física de Crianças em Idade Pré-Escolar (Pre-PAQ)”, was reviewed by a committee of experts to verify the content and generated the second version of accordance. Then, 28 professionals in the field evaluated the questionnaire regarding the suitability for the Brazilian Portuguese language and the cultural adaptation for Brazilian children from 3 to 5 years old. It is concluded that the stages of translation and cultural adaptation were successfully concluded, although future studies to test the content reliability and validity of the Pre-PAQ’s Brazilian version are necessary to ensure the application accuracy in the target population.
