“…This value is significantly not as high as the 19.4% reduction registered for patients with pre-operative stage cancer. This value is also not as high as the 44.4% reduction for patients recently submitted to tumor resection surgery 13 , or than the 31.5% reduction identified in the longitudinal follow-up of one year after surgery for patients with câncer 14 . These observations are compatible with the assumption that the questionnaire has discriminant validity, and that greater variations in its scores occur only as a specific manifestation of cancer and of its consequences.…”

“…However, this study showed that the reduction in the quality of life scores measured by the UW-QOL is low and little relevant to individuals without cancer, when compared with patients with head and neck cancer 13,14 . Moreover, individuals without cancer had significantly higher indicators than individuals affected by the disease, both for the general score, and for two thirds of the domain-specific quality of life scores.…”

“…This information is relevant, because patients at different stages of disease and treatment have different quality of life status. More detailed information on the development of quality of life of this cohort has been reported elsewhere 13,14 . The second group had 141 patients without cancer, seen during 2008 at the internal medicine and dermatology outpatient clinics of the same hospital.…”

OBJETIVO: Avaliar a validade discriminante do questionário de qualidade de vida da Universidade de Washington para pacientes com câncer de cabeça e pescoço e identificar possíveis fatores sociodemográficos que modifiquem seus resultados. MÉTODOS: Foram entrevistados 47 pacientes com câncer de boca e orofaringe em estágio pré-cirúrgico em um hospital no sul do município de São Paulo em 2007, e 141 pacientes sem câncer, pareados por sexo e idade em uma proporção de três para um, que foram atendidos em ambulatórios do mesmo hospital em 2008. Os resultados obtidos para os dois grupos foram comparados pelo teste t de Student. Para os pacientes sem câncer utilizou-se análise de regressão de Poisson para avaliar possíveis fatores de modificação da qualidade de vida. RESULTADOS: O escore geral de qualidade de vida foi significantemente mais elevado (p < 0,001) para os pacientes sem câncer (91,1) do que para os pacientes com câncer (80,6). Observações análogas foram efetuadas para oito dos doze domínios de qualidade de vida compreendidos no questionário (dor, aparência, deglutição, mastigação, fala, ombros, paladar e ansiedade). Como possíveis fatores de modificação dos escores de qualidade de vida foram identificados renda familiar (com impacto nos domínios de recreação, p = 0,017, e função dos ombros, p = 0,049), escolaridade (em ansiedade, p = 0,003), sexo (em função dos ombros, p = 0,038) e dor de dente (em mastigação, p = 0,015). CONCLUSÕES: O questionário tem validade discriminante, pois seus escores são especificamente mais afetados para pacientes com câncer. Reforça-se a indicação do questionário para monitorar o tratamento e recomenda-se avaliar os fatores que podem causar impacto nesses indicadores.

“…A meta-analysis of studies reporting on taste function scores of head and neck cancer patients indicated a significant difference in taste ability before and after treatment [11]. Assessment of health-related quality of life survey data in patients after primary surgery for oral tumor resection indicated that taste function was negatively affected after surgery along with chewing, speech, and swallowing function [12]. Head and neck cancer patients undergoing multimodal therapy frequently reported alterations in taste to decrease appetite, desire to eat, and enjoyment of food [13].…”

Objective: Congenital aglossia (CA) is a rare inborn condition characterized by absence of the tongue. This study aimed to determine gustatory function in a pediatric female participant with CA. Methods were developed based on previous taste discrimination research of a participant with isolated congenital aglossia (ICA) and anecdotal reports of individuals with CA possessing the ability to discern taste stimuli. Methods:In this randomized, double-blinded trial, 78 samples were presented to an 11-year-old Hispanic female with CA in the presence of her parents. Triplicate samples of sucrose (sweet), citric acid (sour), sodium chloride (salty), caffeine (bitter) and monosodium glutamate (umami) solutions at five concentration levels each were tested, with three water samples. Contingency tables were developed with participant responses. Descriptive statistics were run to determine accuracy of stimuli identifications, with correct identification set at ≥ 66.6% accuracy (2 out of 3). Taste identification accuracy versus stimuli taste, concentration, and presentation order were tested for statistically significant association (p ≤ 0.05) using Chi-square testing.Results: Out of five stimuli, the participant correctly identified sour and umami. Umami was accurately identified 100% of the time, and sour 66.6% of the time. Correct identification threshold criteria were not met for sweet, salty, and bitter samples. There was no statistically significant association between taste identification accuracy and particular taste, concentration levels, or presentation order. Bitter taste was commonly recorded as sour, and bitter as salty. Conclusion:This study supports previous findings indicating that people with CA may accurately identify sour, though at a higher threshold than previously found in the ICA trial or in persons without CA. Compared to the previous trial, the participant in this trial could accurately identify umami. Higher discrimination thresholds of sour and umami, and misidentification of sweet, salty, and bitter stimuli, may indicate gustatory impairment among individuals with CA.

AGRADECIMENTOSÀ Profa. Dra. Maria Gabriela Haye Biazevic, pela paciência, carinho e atenção que teve comigo durante a elaboração deste trabalho e pela amizade e convivência, que -tenho certeza -permanecerá após esta data. Muito Obrigado. (Energy and drive functions -Activity). Equivalences was observed among the instruments´ domains and ICF. Thus, ICF is a useful tool to perform real evaluations on the patients´ health, adding information to the clinical aspects.
