    Post-discharge mortality in patients with traumatic spinal cord injury in a Brazilian hospital: a retrospective cohort
    (2019) LEITE, Victor F.; SOUZA, Daniel R. de; IMAMURA, Marta; BATTISTELLA, Linamara R.
    Study design Retrospective cohort. Objective To evaluate the survival outcomes in patients with traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI). Setting A teaching hospital in Brazil. Methods A total of 434 patients diagnosed with TSCI (2004-2014) were included. Overall survival, standardized mortality ratios (SMR), and causes of death were assessed by Student's t-test, chi(2) test, Kaplan-Meier analysis, and Cox proportional-hazards regression. Results The mean follow-up was 4.8 years (+/- 3.3 years). Individuals with tetraplegia had a median survival of 11 years, with participants in the paraplegia group not reaching median survival. The overall mortality rate was 37 per 1000 person-years. Age-adjusted SMR was 28.8 (95% CI: 22.8-36). There were 77 deaths with 56 defined causes, of which pneumonia was the most frequent (35.7%). Combined infectious etiologies caused 55.3% of deaths. Multivariate analysis revealed higher mortality among individuals with tetraplegia vs. paraplegia in the first 2 years post injury (HR = 8.28, 95% CI: 2.76-24.80), after 2 years post injury (HR = 2.35, 95% CI: 1.31-4.24), and in all years combined (HR = 3.36, 95% CI: 2.04-5.52). Conclusion Mortality among patients with TSCI was 28.8 times higher than in the reference population. In more than half of the cases, the cause of death was linked to infectious diseases. Pneumonia caused two times more deaths in individuals with tetraplegia than in individuals with paraplegia, with a higher impact in the first 2 years post injury. Reported findings indicate the need for a surveillance and prevention program with emphasis on vaccination and respiratory rehabilitation.

    Cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the neurogenic bladder symptom score questionnaire for brazilian portuguese
    (2019) CINTRA, Lisley Keller Liidtke; BESSA JUNIOR, Jose de; KAWAHARA, Victor Ikky; FERREIRA, Thereza Phitoe Abe; SROUGI, Miguel; BATTISTELLA, Linamara Rizzo; SOUZA, Daniel Rubio de; BRUSCHINI, Homero; GOMES, Cristiano Mendes
    Objective: To cross-culturally adapt and check for the reliability and validity of the neurogenic bladder symptom score questionnaire to Brazilian portuguese, in patients with spinal cord injury and multiple sclerosis. Materials and Methods: The questionnaire was culturally adapted according to international guidelines. The Brazilian version was applied in patients diagnosed with neurogenic bladder due to spinal cord injury or multiple sclerosis, twice in a range of 7 to 14 days. Psychometric properties were tested such as content validity, construct validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability. Results: Sixty-eight patients participated in the study. Good internal consistency of the Portuguese version was observed, with Cronbach alpha of 0.81. The test-retest reliability was also high, with an Intraclass Correlation Coefficient of 0.86 [0.76 - 0.92] (p<0.0001). In the construct validity, the Pearson Correlation revealed a moderate correlation between the Portuguese version of the NBSS and the Qualiveen-SF questionnaire (r = 0.66 [0.40-0.82]; p < 0.0001). Conclusions: The process of cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the NBSS questionnaire for the Brazilian Portuguese in patients with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction was concluded.
