“…The largest effect was in the pain scale. Their results with the SF-36 show effect sizes in the pain and physical role scales (preoperative to postoperative change, as measured in standardized differences) similar to those reported by Ware et al for heart surgery [28] , Kantz et al for knee replacement [29] , Liang et al for hip replacement [30] , and Lansky et al for back pain [31] . The magnitude of the preoperative SF-36 physical role scale deviations from norms lies between those reported by Ware et al [28] .…”

Adaptation and validation of the Pediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (PAQLQ) in Brazilian asthmatic children and adolescents

Objectives: To translate the Pediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (PAQLQ) into Portuguese and adapt it to the Brazilian context, for use in children and adolescents with asthma and to validate the adapted version of the questionnaire (PAQLQ-A).Methods: Children and adolescents (7 to 17 years old) with asthma answered the PAQLQ-A on admission and were assessed using a clinical severity score. According to this score, patients were classified as mild (< 2) or moderate/severe (> 2). They were reassessed on at least two occasions at an interval of 2 to 4 weeks. Furthermore, patients in whom asthma was properly controlled were classified as stable, and those in whom it could not be controlled, as unstable. Results:The reproducibility of the PAQLQ-A was evaluated in stable patients by comparing the mean domain scores: symptoms, emotions, activities, and the overall clinical severity score on two predefined occasions with an interval of 15 to 30 days in between. Responsiveness was evaluated among unstable patients. The mean domain scores and the overall score were different on both occasions, and so was the clinical severity score. The validity of the questionnaire was determined by the application of Cronbachs alpha reliability coefficient (α = 0.909). Conclusions:The translation of the PAQLQ into Portuguese did not modify the framework of the original questionnaire; the PAQLQ-A is easy to use, with easy reproducibility, constituting a valuable instrument for the evaluation of the quality of life in children and adolescents with asthma.J Pediatr (Rio J). 2005;81(1):54-60: Asthma, questionnaire, validity, quality of life. ResumoObjetivos: Traduzir e adaptar ao português (cultura brasileira) o Pediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (PAQLQ) para uso em crianças e adolescentes com asma e validar a versão adaptada (PAQLQ-A).Métodos: Crianças e adolescentes (7 a 17 anos) com asma foram entrevistados e responderam o PAQLQ-A à admissão, sendo avaliados por escore clínico de gravidade. Segundo o escore clínico de gravidade, os pacientes foram classificados em leves (< 2) ou moderados/graves (> 2). Eles foram reavaliados em pelo menos mais duas ocasiões, com intervalo de 2 a 4 semanas.Resultados: Durante o seguimento, alguns se mantiveram sem mudança no escore clínico de gravidade e foram identificados como estáveis; já os que variaram foram identificados como instáveis. A reprodutibilidade do PAQLQ-A foi avaliada entre os estáveis comparando-se as médias dos domínios sintomas, emoções, atividades e total e do escore clínico de gravidade em dois tempos predeterminados (15 a 30 dias de intervalo), sem diferenças entre elas. A avaliação da suscetibilidade à alteração foi feita entre os pacientes instáveis. As médias dos domínios e o total em dois tempos foram significantemente diferentes, assim como o escore clínico de gravidade. A validação do instrumento foi realizada pela aplicação do teste de confiabilidade de Cronbach (α = 0,909).Conclusões: A tradução do PAQLQ para a língua portuguesa não modificou...
