Introduction. Chronic rhinosinusitis is a highly prevalent disease, so it is necessary to create valid instruments to assess the quality of life of these patients. The SNOT-20 questionnaire was developed for this purpose as a specific test to evaluate the quality of life related to chronic rhinosinusitis. It was validated in the English language, and it has been used in most studies on this subject. Currently, there is no validated instrument for assessing this disease in Portuguese.Objective. Cross-cultural adaptation and validation of SNOT-20 in Portuguese.Patients and Methods. The SNOT-20 questionnaire underwent a meticulous process of cross-cultural adaptation and was evaluated by assessing its sensitivity, reliability, and validity.Results. The process resulted in an intelligible version of the questionnaire, the SNOT-20p. Internal consistency (Cronbach'salpha=0.91,P<.001), reliability testing-retesting (r=0.994,P<.001), content validity, validity of discrimination of patients without chronic rhinosinusitis (U=44,P<.0001) and assessment of sensitivity to change (SRM=1.53and 1.09) were evaluated.Conclusion. We conducted a successful process of cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the SNOT-20 questionnaire into Portuguese.

Abstract Background:Outcomes in peripheral arterial disease (PAD) are usually clinical alone, ignoring patient´s bio-psychological sphere. VascuQol-6 is a specific questionnaire aimed to asses quality of life of patients suffering PAD. Our objective was to carry out a cross-cultural adaptation and validation of VQ-6 questionnaire from original English version into Spanish, in order to have a rapid, sensitive and easy-to-apply clinical tool for evaluating HRQoL outcomes in PAD patients.MethodsA prospective study with 100 outpatients with PAD patients was carried out in two university hospitals. Patients completed the Spanish translated VasquQol-6 (VQ-6) questionnaire and the SF-12 questionnaire. Validation of the VQ-6 Spanish Version was assessed through statistical measurement of reliability, reproducibility and validity of the questionnaire. Reproducibility of the Spanish VQ-6 was assessed through Intraclass Correlation Coefficient, while Internal consistency was analyzed through Alpha Cronbach. Criterion Validity was assessed by comparing the SF-12 and with Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient. Construct Validity was assessed by comparing the results of the questionnaire with the stage of the PAD based on Rutherford-Becker Category.ResultsOn hundred patients were included in the study from July 2019 to January 2021. 82 % were male with a median age of 71.6 years. The reproducibility of the VQ-6 Spanish Version in each item was evaluated in a sample of 80 patients. Pain, Activity, Social and Emotional domains had ICC values ranging from 0.70 to 0.88, indicating a good agreement. The value obtained for Cronbach's Alpha was 0.89 using all the questions of the questionnaire, indicating a good internal consistency. VQ-6 and SF-12 showed positive correlations. The overall Pearson Correlation Coefficient was 0.77 for Physical SF-12, indicating an elevated Criterion Validity. Under´s curve area was 0.8, so discrimination capacity of VQ-6 Spanish Version to discriminate between IC and CLI was considered good.ConclusionVQ-6 Spanish Version is a reliable and valid instrument for evaluation of quality of life in patients suffering from PAD that can be used in clinical practice, adding a decision-base when evaluating different treatment options. This VQ-6 Spanish Version is intended to cover the spectrum of severity of PAD in Spanish-speaking patients.Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT04741321.

Abstract Background Quality of life must be studied as a determinant of health. Depressive state must be measured with culturally adapted and population-validated instruments specially in times of COVID19 pandemics in undergraduate health students to avoid future health damages. The European Quality of Life 5 Dimensions (EQ5-D-3L) is validated but the ‘9-Item Patient Health Questionaire’ (PHQ-9) still needed validation for university population, which this study intended to do. Methods With original authors authorization and after cross-cultural adaptation, a cross sectional, observational study, applying the PHQ-9 and EQ-5D-3L to Faculty of Medicine and Faculty Pharmacy of the University of Coimbra (FMUC and FFUC) students, along with an epidemiological survey in a convenience sample using student’s social networks in november 2020. Descriptive, inferential and correlational statistics were performed. Results A size representative sample of 126 participants was studied, of which 72 from FMUC (57.1%) and 54 from FFUC (42.9%). For PHQ-9 (reliability cronbach’s alfa of 0.815, and F test = 38 786, P &lt; 0.001) were found and global score FFUC students and females was higher, P = 0.014 and P = 0.034, respectively. Females also scored worse for item 5 of EQ5D, P &lt; 0.001. PHQ9 and EQ5D correlation of ρ = -0.588, P &lt; 0.001 and PHQ9 and question 5 of EQ5D-3L with PHQ9 of ρ = +0.484, P &lt; 0.001 were found. Conclusions The cultural adaptation and validation of the ‘9-Item Patient Health Questionaire’ (PHQ9) with the European Quality of Life 5 Dimensions (EQ5D-3L) scale, in FMUC and FFUC students population, verified that the PHQ-9 allows to adequately assess the existence of depressive symptoms and that male individuals were in better mental health.
