ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Objective The aim of this study was to translate and adapt the Newcastle Paediatric Mitochondrial Disease Scale (NPMDS) to Portuguese for use in Brazil. Methods The scale was applied in 20 pediatric patients with mitochondrial disease, in three groups myopathy (n = 4); Leigh syndrome (n = 8); and encephalomyopathy (n = 8). Scores were obtained for the various dimensions of the NPMDS, and comparisons were drawn between the groups. Results There was a statistically significant difference between the myopathy group and the Leigh syndrome group (p = 0.0085), as well as between the myopathy and encephalomyopathy groups (p = 0.01). Conclusions The translation of the NPMDS, and its adaptation to the socioeconomic and cultural conditions in Brazil, make the NPMDS score useful as an additional parameter in the evaluation and monitoring of pediatric patients with MD in Brazil.
RESUMO
RESUMO Objetivo O objetivo do presente estudo foi realizar a tradução e adaptação da escala NPMDS para a população brasileira. Métodos A escala foi aplicada em 20 crianças e adolescentes com doença mitocondrial (DM) divididos em três grupos miopatia (n=4), síndrome de Leigh (n=8) e encefalomiopatia (n=8). Obteve-se os escores separados das dimensões da escala NPMDS, foram realizadas comparações entre os escores da NPMDS nos diferentes grupos. Conclusão A tradução da escala NPMDS e sua adequação as condições socioeconômicas e culturais de nossa população tornam este instrumento um parâmetro adicional na avaliação e acompanhamento de pacientes pediátricos com DM.
