Abstract Background Injuries are a major health issue worldwide and their prevention requires access to accurate statistics in this area. This can be achieved by using the data collected through the international classification systems. This study aimed at investigating the coverage rate of the International Classification of External Causes of Injury (ICECI) regarding the external causes of injury in Shahid Bahonar Hospital.Method This cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study was performed on 322 injured individuals visiting the emergency unit of Shahid Bahonar Hospital. The data were gathered through patients’ records, a designed form and interviews. The collected data were encoded based on the ICECI textbook by two encoders. Their agreement rate was calculated using the Kappa estimate of agreement. The coverage rate of the classification system and the degree of completeness of the required data for encoding in the patients’ records was measured. Data were analyzed by the SPSS software, ver. 19.Results The findings showed that 70% of the studied external causes of injury were covered by the ICECI system. Among the 322 cases, 138 (43%) had been referred due to car accidents. The injured were mostly drivers of land transport vehicles who had been unintentionally involved in a car accident. The least mechanism for injury was bite injury with 5 (2%) cases which had occurred at home or public transport with a similar rate and totally unintentional. ICECI was capable of classifying 92% of the data related to incident causes. The most incongruous coverage of this system belonged to the "activity when injured" axis (n=18). Lack of precise data recording in the medical files resulted in missing data in at least one of the axis of the incident causes in most records.Conclusion Given that some information regarding the external cause of injury was not categorized by the ICECI system, this research can identify the shortcomings of the system and help its developers to amend it in future revisions.

After spinal cord injury is common functionality is affected. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the functionality of patients with spinal cord injury. METHOD: Cross-sectional study by means of the International Classification of Functionality (ICF). 109 adults with spinal cord injury in the city of Curitiba, Brazil were evaluated. RESULTS: The categories most compromised in body were intestines and bladder, sexuality, energy, sleep, emotion and weight. In the domain activities and participation, there was greater difficulty in tasks of bathing, toilet and dressing, self care and leisure. In the domain environmental factors, the categories classified as facilitators were: medications, orthoses and wheelchair, attitude of family, transport, social foresight and health services. The categories classified as barriers were: attitude of authorities, social attitudes, education and work. CONCLUSION: The application of the ICF in persons with spinal cord injury demonstrated a series of disabilities and limitations.

RESUMO Objetivo: elaborar diagnósticos de Enfermagem para idosos frágeis institucionalizados. Método: trata-se de um estudo quantitativo, descritivo, transversal, com 53 idosos em uma Instituição de Longa Permanência para Idosos. Utilizaram-se a escala de fragilidade de Edmonton e um instrumento de coleta de dados baseado em Henderson. Fundamentaram-se os diagnósticos na CIPE®, versão 2015. Analisaram-se os dados nos softwares SPSS e Stata apresentando-os em tabela. Resultados: elaboraram-se 178 diagnósticos de Enfermagem dos quais prevaleceram 15 em mais de 20% da amostra. Destacaram-se “Risco de Queda” (84,9%), “Visão prejudicada” (49,1%), “Marcha prejudicada” (37,7%), “Insônia” (28,3 %), “Sono prejudicado” (26,4%), “Humor deprimido” (24,5%) e “Pele seca” (24,5%). Obteve-se significância estatística entre “Risco de queda” (p = 0,008) e “Pele seca” (p= 0,021) e o nível de fragilidade. Houve, ainda, significância entre o número de diagnósticos e o nível de fragilidade (p<0,001) de modo que, quanto maior o nível de fragilidade, mais diagnósticos. Conclusão: elaborou-se 178 diagnósticos de Enfermagem, dos quais prevaleceram 15, sendo o “Risco de queda” o mais prevalente. Contribuir-se á com esse estudo para divulgar a linguagem diagnóstica CIPE® e sensibilizar os enfermeiros acerca da importância de seu uso.  Descritores: Enfermagem; Terminologia; Diagnóstico de Enfermagem; Idoso; Instituição de longa permanência para idosos; Fragilidade.ABSTRACT Objective: to elaborate nursing diagnoses for institutionalized frail elderly. Method: this is a quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study with 53 elderly people in a Long-Term Care Institution for the Elderly. The Edmonton Frailty Scale and a Henderson-based data collection instrument were used. The diagnoses were based on CIPE®, version 2015. Data was analyzed in the SPSS and Stata software and presented in a table. Results: 178 Nursing diagnoses were elaborated, of which 15 were prevalent in more than 20% of the sample. "Impaired vision" (49.9%), "impaired vision" (37.7%), "insomnia" (28.3%), "impaired sleep" "(26.4%)," depressed mood "(24.5%) and" dry skin "(24.5%). Statistical significance was obtained between "Risk for falls" (p = 0.008) and "Dry skin" (p = 0.021) and the level of frailty. There was also a significant difference between the number of diagnoses and the level of frailty (p <0.001), so that the higher the level of frailty, the more diagnoses. Conclusion: 178 Nursing diagnoses were elaborated, of which 15 prevailed, being the "Risk for fallsing" the most prevalent. It will contribute to this study to disseminate the diagnostic language ICNP® and to make nurses aware of the importance of its use.

BackgroundManaging multiple chronic and acute conditions in patients with multimorbidity requires setting medical priorities. How family practitioners (FPs) rank medical priorities between highly, moderately, or rarely prevalent chronic conditions (CCs) has never been described. The authors hypothesised that there was no relationship between the prevalence of CCs and their medical priority ranking in individual patients with multimorbidity.AimTo describe FPs’ medical priority ranking of conditions relative to their prevalence in patients with multimorbidity.Design & settingThis cross-sectional study of 100 FPs in Switzerland included patients with ≥3 CCs on a predefined list of 75 items from the International Classification of Primary Care 2 (ICPC-2); other conditions could be added. FPs ranked all conditions by their medical priority.MethodPriority ranking and distribution were calculated for each condition separately and for the top three priorities together.ResultsThe sample contained 888 patients aged 28–98 years (mean 73), of which 48.2% were male. Included patients had 3–19 conditions (median 7; interquantile range [IQR] 6–9). FPs used 74/75 CCs from the predefined list, of which 27 were highly prevalent (>5%). In total, 336 different conditions were recorded. Highly prevalent CCs were only the top medical priority in 66%, and the first three priorities in 33%, of cases. No correlation was found between prevalence and the ranking of medical priorities.ConclusionFPs faced a great diversity of different conditions in their patients with multimorbidity, with nearly every condition being found at nearly every rank of medical priority, depending on the patient. Medical priority ranking was independent of the prevalence of CCs.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the elderly persons' functionality, based on the International Classification of Functionality. METHODS: a cross-sectional, descriptive study; a stratified random sample of 903 elderly persons; a confidence level of 95%; and a margin of error of 2.5%. Questionnaire based on the International Classification of Functionality; data was collected based on structured interviews undertaken by health professionals in the health centers in the Alentejo region of Portugal. RESULTS: 30.7% of the elderly persons stated that they were illiterate, and 22.9% lived alone. Feeding/dietary (18.7%), housing (19.2%) and health needs (26.0%) were not met. Orientation functions were maintained in 83.4%; 58% of the elderly persons referred to pain so intense that it required care; 73.3% of the elderly persons did not have functional dentition. Levels of performance were superior to 80% in the participation activities: washing oneself (82.6%), toileting (92.2%), dressing, eating, and drinking (89%). CONCLUSION: although a progressive decline in functionality is observed as age advances, the majority of dimensions are preserved until around 75 years of age.

Introduction We aimed to field-test the beta version of the third edition of the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-3 beta) diagnostic criteria for classical trigeminal neuralgia (TN). The proposed beta draft of the 11th version of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11 beta) is almost exclusively based on the ICHD-3 beta classification structure although slightly abbreviated. We compared sensitivity and specificity to ICHD-2 criteria, and evaluated the needs for revision. Methods Clinical characteristics were systematically and prospectively collected from 206 consecutive TN patients and from 37 consecutive patients with persistent idiopathic facial pain in a cross-sectional study design. Results: The specificity of ICHD-3 beta was similar to ICHD-2 (97.3% vs. 89.2%, p = 0.248) and the sensitivity was unchanged (76.2% vs. 74.3%, p = 0.134). The majority of false-negative diagnoses in TN patients were due to sensory abnormalities at clinical examination. With a proposed modified version of ICHD-3 beta it was possible to increase sensitivity to 96.1% ( p < 0.001 compared to ICHD-3 beta) while maintaining specificity at 83.8% ( p = 0.074 compared to ICHD-3 beta). Conclusion ICHD-3 beta was not significantly different from ICHD-2 and both lacked sensitivity. A modification of the criteria improved the sensitivity greatly and is proposed for inclusion in the forthcoming ICHD-3.
