The Impact

Abstract In the last decades, several instruments have been used to evaluate the impact of oral health problems on the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of individuals. However, some instruments lack thorough methodological validation or present conceptual differences that hinder comparisons with instruments. Thus, it can be difficult to clinicians and researchers to select a questionnaire that accurately reflect what are really meaningful to individuals. This short communication aimed to discuss the importance of use an appropriate checklist to select an instrument with a good methodological quality. The COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) checklist was developed to provide tools for evidence-based instrument selection. The COSMIN checklist comprises ten boxes that evaluate whether a study meets the standard for good methodological quality and two additional boxes to meet studies that use the Item Response Theory method and general requirements for results generalization, resulting in four steps to be followed. In this way, it is required at least some expertise in psychometrics or clinimetrics to a wide-ranging use of this checklist. The COSMIN applications include its use to ensure the standardization of cross-cultural adaptations and safer comparisons between measurement studies and evaluation of methodological quality of systematic reviews of measurement properties. Also, it can be used by students when training about measurement properties and by editors and reviewers when revising manuscripts on this topic. The popularization of COSMIN checklist is therefore necessary to improve the selection and evaluation of health measurement instruments.

Abstract Background Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) affects several dimensions of health-related quality of life. The IBD-Disk scale was designed to provide immediate illustration of disability reported by patients with IBD, previously validated in two cohort studies. The aim of this study is to validate the IBD-Disk in a Portuguese cohort in a clinical setting according to the COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of the health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) recommendations. Methods After translation to Portuguese, a group of IBD patients was invited to fill-in the IBD-Disk at baseline (T0), after 2 weeks (T1), and after 3 months (T2), from July 2020 to February 2021. At T0 and T2 the patients also completed the IBD-Disability Index. We evaluated reliability (internal consistency, test-retest, and inter-rater reliability and measurement error), construct validity, responsiveness, and interpretability. Results At baseline, 154 patients (107 - Crohn′s disease; 46 - ulcerative colitis) completed the IBD-Disk. After 2 weeks and 3 months, 64 and 114 patients repeated the questionnaire, respectively. Factor analysis confirmed the unidimensionality of the scale and reduced the final version to 10 items. Internal consistency was excellent with a Cronbach’s α of 0.916. The intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.95 for test-retest (baseline and 2 weeks). To evaluate construct validity, the IBD-Disk was compared with the IBD-Disability Index with a significative positive correlation (r=0.850; p<0.001). IBD-Disk scores ranged from 0 to 93 with a mean of 38.18±25.39. Female gender (β =0,3; p<0,001) and professional inactivity (β=0.28, p=0.014) were associated with higher IBD-Disk scores. Neither floor nor ceiling effects were observed. Conclusion The Portuguese version of IBD-Disk is a reliable, valid, and responsive tool to assess disability in Portuguese IBD patients. This study confirms the utility of this instrument in the evaluation of IBD patients in diverse populations.

Abstract Introduction Most of the studies reporting the negative impact of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome on health-related quality of life in children and adolescents were conducted with generic quality-of-life instruments rather than disease-specific instruments. The consistency of these studies' findings using these generic instruments is not well established. Aim This systematic review aims to determine the reliability of current generic quality-of-life instruments in assessing health-related quality of life among children and adolescents with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome. Methods We searched the PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Google Scholar databases for articles published between 2000 and 2020, using appropriate descriptors. We included primary studies that met the eligibility criteria, independently screened their titles and abstracts, and removed all duplicates during the study-selection process. We resolved disagreements until a consensus was reached on study selection. We independently retrieved relevant data, including the generic quality-of-life instruments and the subjects’ and controls’ aggregate health-related quality of life scores, using a preconceived data-extraction form. Results Ten original articles were selected for qualitative and quantitative analyses. Some of the studies reported the following significant findings. The mean health-related quality of life scores for children with prevalent and incident nephrotic syndrome were 68.6 (range, 52.6–84.6) and 73.7 (range, 55.9–91.5), respectively. Children with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome and their controls with other chronic diseases had median scores of 65 (interquartile range, 59–68.75) and 62.2 (interquartile range, 58.05–65.78). Patients on oral immunosuppressive drug and intravenous rituximab reportedly had median scores of 76.2 and 72.6 and mean scores of 71.4 (range, 55.4–87.4) and 61.6 (range, 42.1–81.1) respectively for quality-of-life assessment on the ‘school functioning domain.’ Conclusions The health-related quality of life scores in patients with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome are consistently low. Lower scores occur in prolonged disease duration and severe clinical phenotypes, whereas the scores are higher than the scores obtained in other chronic diseases. These consistent findings underscore the reliability of the current generic instruments in assessing health-related quality of life in patients with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome.

Catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) has been utilized as an adjunct to anticoagulant therapy in selected patients with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) for approximately 30 years. CDT used to be limited to patients with DVT causing acute limb threat and those exhibiting failure of initial anticoagulation, but has expanded over time. Randomized trials evaluating the first-line use of CDT for proximal DVT have demonstrated that CDT does not produce a major reduction in the occurrence of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) and that it is poorly suited for elderly patients and those with limited thrombus extent or major risk factors for bleeding. However, CDT does offer selected patients with acute iliofemoral DVT improvement in reducing early DVT symptoms, in achieving reduction in PTS severity, and in producing an improvement in health-related quality of life (QOL). Clinical practice guidelines from medical and surgical societies are now largely aligned with the randomized trial results. This review offers the reader an update on the results of recently completed clinical trials, and additional guidance on appropriate selection of patients with DVT for catheter-directed thrombolytic therapy.
