ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Comparar la eficacia de la inmovilización nocturna de la muñeca con una férula cubital en ángulo neutro junto con la aplicación de ultrasonido en pacientes con síndrome del túnel carpiano leve y moderado. Materiales y Métodos: Entre octubre de 2007 y marzo de 2010, se incluyó a pacientes >18 años con síndrome del túnel carpiano confirmado por electromiografía en un hospital de Buenos Aires. Se realizó una aleatorización estratificada, con bloques permutados aleatorios, y apareamiento por sexo y edad. Los pacientes fueron asignados al grupo experimental (GE) o al grupo de control (GC). Ambos grupos recibieron ultrasonido de 1 MHz pulsante por 15 min, 3 veces por semana, durante 6 semanas. Los pacientes del GE, además, utilizaron una férula nocturna. Se evaluaron el dolor y la parestesia con la escala analógica visual de 100 mm, la PSFS y el test de Moberg, al comenzar, a las 3 semanas y, al finalizar, a las 6 semanas, y durante el seguimiento, al mes, y a los 3 y 6 meses, con evaluador a ciego. Resultados: Se analizó a 32 pacientes del GC y a 33 del GE. Al finalizar el tratamiento, todas las variables habían mejorado en ambos grupos, con diferencia de medias estadísticamente significativa para el dolor a favor del GE a las 3 semanas de tratamiento 1,64 (IC95% 0,38-2,91; p = 0,012), pero sin diferencia clínica significativa. No se informaron efectos adversos. Conclusión: El tratamiento con una férula nocturna y ultrasonido no es superior al ultrasonido solo en pacientes con STC. Nivel de Evidencia; II


Objective: To compare the effectiveness of night wrist immobilization using an ulnar splint in neutral angle versus the use of ultrasound (US) in patients with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). Materials and Methods: Study population included over 18 years of age that were treated for electromyography-confirmed CTS between October 2007 and March 2010 at a Buenos Aires hospital. A sex- and age-stratified randomization was performed by using randomly permuted blocks, allocating patients into the experimental group (EG) and control group (CG). Pulsed US therapy was administered for 15 minutes to all patients three times a week for six weeks at a frequency of 1 MHz. In addition, EG patients were also prescribed night splint. Pain and paresthesia were evaluated using a 100mm Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), the Patient Specific Functional Scale (PSFS), and the Moberg pickup test (MPUT) at baseline, at 3 and 6 weeks, and at 3 and 6 months after treatment institution by a blinded investigator. Results: Study population consisted of 85 cases (65 patients) that were randomly allocated to CG (n=42) or EG (n=43). Improvement of all the variables was observed at the end of treatment in both groups, with a 1.64 (95% CI: 0.38-2.91, P=0.012) statistically significant difference in means for pain in favor of the EG at 3 weeks of treatment, but without a significant clinical difference. No adverse effects were observed. Conclusion: The effectiveness of combined night splint and US therapy is not superior to the US alone treatment in CTS patients. Level of Evidence; II

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Las enfermedades pulmonares intersticiales difusas generan en los pacientes intolerancia al ejercicio, disnea, y una disminución de la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud. La rehabilitación respiratoria tiene un rol importante en el cuidado estos pacientes. Materiales y Métodos: Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo en una cohorte de pacientes con enfermedad pulmonar intersticial difusa (EPID) sometida a rehabilitación respiratoria (RR) durante los años 2012 a 2015. Los pacientes realizaron 4 meses de RR, basado en entrenamiento aeróbico y fortalecimiento muscular de extremidades y tronco y educación en salud. Se estudió la calidad de vida con el cuestionario Saint George´s (SGRQ) y tolerancia al ejercicio (TE) con test de marcha de 6 minutos (TM6M) previo y posterior a RR. Se compararon los resultados entre pacientes con fibrosis pulmonar idiopática (FPI) y otras EPID. Resultados: Se incluyeron 93 pacientes (46 hombres), de los cuales 42 (44.09%) completaron el programa. Luego de la RR la media de puntaje del SGRQ disminuyo 8.7 puntos (IC 95%: 2.85-14.42), sin diferencia entre FPI y otros diagnósticos. La media de metros caminados en el TM6M mejoró 14.07 m sin alcanzar la significancia estadísticamente (p = 0.132). En el subgrupo de pacientes que caminó inicialmente menos de 400 m (n = 18), la mejoría fue clínica y estadísticamente significativa (40.8 m; p = 0.025). No encontramos diferencias en esta prueba en función del diagnóstico. Conclusiones: La RR en esta cohorte de pacientes con EPID demostró mejorar la calidad de vida y la tolerancia al ejercicio, sin diferencias en cuanto al diagnóstico específico.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Interstitial lung diseases generate in patients exercise intolerance, dyspnea, and a decrease in health-related quality of life. Pulmonary Rehabilitation plays an important role in the treatment of these patients. Materials and Methods: We conducted a retrospective study in a cohort of patients with interstitial lung disease (DILD) who underwent Pulmonary Rehabilitation (PR) between 2012 and 2015. Patients completed a 4-month treatment program including aerobic, core, and upper and lower limbs strength training and health education. Quality of life was measured with the St. George´s Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ), and exercise tolerance with the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) pre- and post-PR. Results were compared among patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and other ILDs. Results: 93 patients were included (46 male); 42 (44.09%) completed the program. After the PR, the SGRQ mean score decreased by 8.7 (95% CI [confidence interval]: 2.85-14.42), with no differences between the IPF and other diagnoses. The results of the 6MWT showed mean improvement of 14.07 m, not reaching statistical significance (p = 0.132). The subgroup of patients who walked less than 400 m (n = 18) showed clinical and statistically significant improvement (40.8 m; p = 0.025). We didn't find differences in this test in terms of diagnosis. Conclusions: PR in this cohort of patients with ILD showed improvement in quality of life and exercise tolerance, with no differences regarding the specific diagnosis.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Las enfermedades pulmonares intersticiales (EPI) se asocian a una baja tolerancia al ejercicio, disnea y disminución de la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud (CVRS). La fibrosis pulmonar idiopática (FPI) es una de las más prevalentes del grupo. Para cuantificar su CVRS, se ha desarrollado una versión específica del cuestionario Saint George (SGRQ-I). Sin embargo, esta herramienta no está actualmente validada en el idioma español. El objetivo fue traducir al idioma español y validar el SGRQ-I en pacientes con FPI. Métodos: Se estudiaron la repetibilidad, la consistencia interna y la validez de constructo del SGRQ-I en español obtenido luego del proceso de traducción reversa. Resultados: Veintitrés pacientes con FPI completaron 2 veces el cuestionario traducido con 7 días de diferencia cada uno. Encontramos una buena concordancia en el test-retest, con un coeficiente de correlación intraclase (CCI) de 0,96 (p < 0,001). En el estudio de la consistencia interna hallamos un coeficiente alfa de Cronbach de 0,9 al incluir al valor total, y de 0,81 al excluirlo (p < 0,001), lo cual evidencia una buena interrelación de los diferentes ítems del cuestionario. El valor total del cuestionario mostro buena correlación con FVC% (r = -0,44; p = 0,033), DLCO% (r = -0,55; p = 0,011), PaO2 (r = -0,44; p = 0,036), disnea escala modificada de Medical Research Council (r = -0,65; p < 0,001), y pasos dados en 24 h (r = -0,47; p = 0,024). Conclusión: La versión en español del SGRQ-I desarrollada por nuestro grupo tiene buena consistencia interna, es reproducible y es válida para evaluar calidad de vida en pacientes con FPI (AU)


Introduction: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is associated with low exercise tolerance, dyspnea, and decreased health-related quality of life (HRQL). Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is one of the most prevalent in the group. A specific version of the Saint George's questionnaire (SGRQ-I) has been developed to quantify the HRQL of IPF patients. However, this tool is not currently validated in the Spanish language. The objective was to translate into Spanish and validate the specific Saint George's Respiratory Questionnaire for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (SGRQ-I). Methods: The repeatability, internal consistency and construct validity of the SGRQ-I in Spanish were analyzed after a backtranslation process. Results: In total, 23 outpatients with IPF completed the translated SGRQ-I twice, 7 days apart. Repeatability was studied, revealing good concordance in test-retest with an ICC (interclass correlation coefficient) of 0.96 (P < .001). Internal consistency was good for different questionnaire items (Cronbach's alpha of 0.9 including and 0.81 excluding the total value) (P<.001). The total score of the questionnaire showed good correlation with forced vital capacity FVC% (r = -0.44; P = .033), diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO%) (r = -0.55; P = .011), partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood PaO2 (r=-0.44; P = .036), Medical Research Council Dyspnea scale (r=-0.65; P<.001), and number of steps taken in 24hours (r = -0.47; P =.024). Conclusions: The Spanish version of SGRQ-Ideveloped by our group shows good internal consistency, reproducibility and validity, so it can be used for the evaluation of quality of life (QOL) in IPF patients (AU)
