“…In the control group, individuals who referred previous jobs in textile industry at any time or other jobs/hobbies with relevant dust exposures (such as construction workers, wood workers, bakers) in the last 10 years were also excluded. (7) and COPD Assessment Test TM (CAT) (8) . RhinoQOL-pv scores for the symptom frequency and impact scales ranged from 1 (''never'') to 5 (''always'') in each question, while for the bothersomeness scale, scores ranged from 0 to 10, in accordance with the questions possible answers.…”

“…Clinical data were gathered through a systematic interview to collect information on demographics, occupational history, and comorbidities. Subjective assessment of upper and lower respiratory disease was obtained through Rhinosinusitis Quality of life survey—Portuguese version (RhinoQOL-pv) 4 and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD ) assessment test (CAT). 5 The CAT test was chosen because it consists of nonspecific questions about lung disease impacts and has already been studied not only for COPD, but also for Asthma.…”

The immune pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) remains obscure. Our aim was to compare humoral immunity and white blood cell counts in patients with CRSwNP and controls. A prospective case–control study was carried out in 37 patients with CRSwNP and 34 controls without CRS. Clinical data were gathered through a systematic interview. Computed tomography scan, skin prick test, spirometry, and immunological parameters (leukocyte differential count, immunoglobulin classes, and immunoglobulin [Ig] G subclasses) in serum specimens were obtained. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS v.23. The prevalence of chronic lower respiratory diseases was greater in the CRSwNP group ( P < .001), but atopic disease had no significant difference. A significantly higher eosinophil ( P < .001) and basophil relative count ( P = .022) and a lower relative neutrophil count ( P = .013) were found among CRSwNP group. Patients with CRSwNP had higher IgG1 ( P = .022), but lower IgG2 ( P = .014) and IgG3 ( P = .018) serum levels compared to controls; IgG4, total IgG, IgA, IgM, and IgE serum levels did not differ between groups, as well as the prevalence of immunoglobulin classes or IgG subclasses deficiency. The variation observed in peripheral relative leukocyte count and the systemic IgG1 subclass shift are similar to what is known to happen in nasal polyp tissue. A unique systemic immune profile seems to be present in patients with CRSwNP.

“…The content validity seeks to investigate the representativeness of the items that reflects this content. It is content validation which defines if the instrument under analysis presents, effectively, the measuring requirements for what is being investigated 12 . The results are significant because of their usefulness for the desired measurement.…”

Purpose: to validate as to appearance and content, the "guidance manual for adult patients with dysphagia in home care speech therapy". Methods: a qualitative and quantitative study, divided into three stages; first, the pilot material was constructed; second, 8 expert judges, with a master or doctorate degree, were chosen to assess the manual through a questionnaire; and third, 8 caregiver judges of home care patients were chosen to represent the study population. Results: Pearson's linear correlation was used in the analysis of the judges' answers, considering the responses with a correlation greater than 0,6 which is a parameter that indicates a strong linear correlation. Conclusion: the results found, after the judges' evaluation, showed a strong correlation between the questions regarding the content of the manual and suggesting appearance and content validity.

The Portuguese version of the RhinoQOL Questionnaire: validation and clinical application

Abstract: This study provides a questionnaire that is equivalent to the original English version, with good responsiveness to change, which can be especially valuable to measure the outcome of surgery.
