“…The researchers concluded that the instrument proved to be effective in categorizing inappropriate urgencies in adults and the elderly (4) . Another Spanish study sought to investigate the interference of the COVID-19 pandemic in changing the pattern of care in the emergency department, and identified that, based on the application of the HESP, most care was considered suitable (14) .…”

Objective Translate and culturally adapt the Hospital Emergency Suitability Protocol (HESP) to Brazilian Portuguese. Method Methodological study, developed from 2019 to 2021, in an emergency hospital, and which followed the stages of translation, synthesis of translations, back-translation, review by an expert committee, pre-test and submission to the authors of the protocol. The sample included four translators, five experts, who assessed conceptual, semantic, cultural, and idiomatic equivalence, 21 nurses and nine physicians, who participated in the pre-test. Content Validity Index (CVI), Cronbach’s alpha and Kendall’s coefficient of concordance were used. Results The final version of the adaptation presented Content Validity Index that ranged from 0.40 to 1.0. The internal consistency, according to Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, showed Semantic Equivalence (α=0.815), Idiomatic Equivalence (α=0.924), Experiential Equivalence (α=0.682), Conceptual Equivalence (α=0.71), which presented acceptable values, except for the experiential equivalence. Kendall W’s coefficient (W=0.14 to 0.58) revealed good reliability. Conclusion The translation and cultural adaptation process of the HESP originated an instrument applicable to the Brazilian context.

RESUMO Objetivo: Traduzir e adaptar culturalmente o Protocolo de Adecuación de Urgencias Hospitalarias (PAUH) para o português do Brasil. Método: Estudo metodológico, desenvolvido no período de 2019 a 2021, em hospital de urgência, e que seguiu as etapas de tradução, síntese das traduções, retrotradução, revisão por comitê de experts, pré-teste e submissão aos autores do protocolo. A amostra incluiu quatro tradutores, cinco experts, que avaliaram equivalência conceitual, semântica, cultural e idiomática, 21 enfermeiros e nove médicos, que participaram do pré-teste. Utilizou-se Indíce de Validade de Conteúdo (IVC), alfa de Cronbach e concordância de Kendall. Resultados: A versão final da adaptação apresentou IVC que variou de 0,40 a 1,0. A consistência interna evidenciou Equivalência Semântica (α=0,815), Equivalência Idiomática (α=0,924) e Equivalência Conceitual (α=0,71), com valores aceitáveis. A concordância de Kendall revelou boa confiabilidade (W=0,14-0,58). Conclusão: O processo de tradução e adaptação cultural do PAUH originou instrumento aplicável ao contexto brasileiro.

Objectives The study purpose was to evaluate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the rate and disease profile of orofacial and respiratory infections in oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) and ear, nose, and throat (ENT) emergency units. Materials and methods Records of patients with orofacial or respiratory infection, or infectious symptoms, diagnosed in the OMFS or ENT Emergency Departments of the Helsinki University Hospital, Helsinki, Finland between 1st March and 30th October 2020 and the corresponding periods in 2018 and 2019 were reviewed. The main outcome variable was the occurrence of studied infections during the evaluated periods. Other study variables were age, gender, residence area, speciality, specific cause for the emergency department visit and admission to ward. Results There was a significant 37% decrease in the number of infection patients in 2020 compared to the years 2019 and 2018 (1894 vs. 2929 and 3077, respectively, p < .001). A mean decrease of 51% (from 1319 and 1249 patients in 2018 and 2019, respectively, to 592 patients in 2020) was seen in the “Other ENT respiratory infection” category. ENT patients were 51% less likely to be admitted to the ward in 2020 compared to 2019 and 2018 (p = .013). Conclusion A significant decrease was observed in the volume of emergency department visits for orofacial and respiratory infections during the COVID-19-pandemic in 2020 compared to the non-COVID periods. Clinical relevance It seems that social distancing, facial mask wearing, and other infection prevention precautions have changed the accustomed patient profile in orofacial and respiratory infections.
