“…The purpose of this study was to assess the construct validity of the BNIS in a Swedish population. If a Swedish translation of this test replicated the ndings in American populations, it would establish the BNIS as a potentially helpful tool for assessing Swedish brain dysfunctional patients and for predicting rehabilitation outcomes as has been done with an American sample (14,18). The present study compared the performance of healthy Swedish people with Swedish patients with brain injury and with data from American control subjects (19).…”

“…In addition to its use as a diagnostic instrument (24), the BNIS has been used to predict the outcome of neurorehabilitation (18,14). In a study of 106 patients with acute brain lesions, agecorrected total scores on the BNIS at admission and discharge were higher for individuals who achieved their rehabilitation goals than for those who did not.…”

A Swedish translation of the Barrow Neurological Institute Screen for Higher Cerebral Functions was administered to 52 normal control subjects and 36 patients with well-documented brain dysfunction. Findings replicated those reported in American samples. Level of performance was strikingly similar between Swedish controls and American controls, especially in individuals between 15 and 39 years. Swedish patients with brain dysfunction performed at levels significantly below the Swedish control subjects. The sensitivity of the test was 83% (correctly classifying 30 of 36 patients); patients with a higher level of education were misclassified. The present study replicates earlier findings and adds to the construct validity of the Barrow Neurological Institute Screen. This test may also prove useful for studying rehabilitation outcomes in Swedish patients.

ResumoIntrodução: O processo do envelhecimento associado às doenças crônico-degenerativas conduz ao declínio funcional e/ ou cognitivo, resultando em redução da qualidade de vida e diminuição da autonomia e independência. Abstract Introduction:The aging process associated with chronic degenerative diseases leads to functional decline and/or cognitive impairment resulting in reduced quality of life and decreased autonomy and independence. Objective: To compare the functional and cognitive capacity of elderly in a geriatric rehabilitation unit in the city of Salvador, Bahia. Methodology: This is an observational descriptive cross-sectional analysis using medical records. The medical records of elderly patients admitted in the Rehabilitation Unit of the Geriatric Center of Obras Sociais Irmã Dulce were selected from January to December 2011. The charts were evaluated for sociodemographic, length of stay, clinical diagnosis, scores of the Modified Barthel Index (MBI) and the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) on admission and discharge. Results: A total of 38 records met the inclusion criteria. 73.68% of the patients were male. The age ranged from 62 to 94 years and length of stay from 34 to 179 days. The most prevalent diseases were hypertension (68.42%), stroke (57.89%), restriction of mobility (42.10%), double incontinence (28.94%), diabetes mellitus (23.98 %) and vascular dementia (21.05%). The observed changes in the MBI scores did not change the functional levels of the elderly. Cognitive changes were observed in 81.57% on admission and 63.15% on discharge. Only individuals with 1-3 years of education changed levels of cognition. Conclusion: The process of aging associated with chronic degenerative diseases influences on the functionality and cognition of the studied population. The results provided evidence for the establishment of goals and treatment plans that promote the rehabilitation of the elderly.
