Abstract Objective To assess the functional disability level and identify associated factors in people after Ischemic Cerebral Vascular Accident. Methods A prospective cohort, carried out in a reference hospital in neurology with 224 people with ischemic stroke. Data collection took place between March and October 2019. Participants were followed up during hospitalization, when sociodemographic and clinical variables were collected using specific instruments and contacted after 90 days, by telephone call, to apply the Modified Barthel Index. In the analysis, descriptive statistics and Pearson’s chi-square test were applied. Statistical significance of 5% was adopted. Results Most had some degree of functional disability (58.5%), with 29.5% having moderate dependence and 29.0% having severe dependence. The variables being female (p=0.011), time of arrival at the reference hospital greater than or equal to 4.5 hours (p=0.017), previous stroke (p=0.031), not having undergone thrombolysis (p=0.023), having high blood pressure (p=0.032) and greater severity estimated by the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (p=0.000) were associated with a higher disability level. Conclusion Moderate to severe dependence predominated. The severity of the event, previous event, hypertension, non-submission to thrombolysis, delay in arriving at the hospital and female gender were associated with a higher functional disability level.

Abstract Background Detailed information about the electromyography practice in Brazil is largely unavailable. Objective To evaluate where and how electromyography is performed in Brazil, as well as regional disparities and the professional and academic credentials of electromyographers. Methods We conducted an internet-based survey of active Brazilian electromyographers. The websites of health insurance companies, professional academies, medical cooperatives, online search engines, and social networks in each Brazilian state were screened and we evaluated the credentials of each electromyographer listed in the Brazilian Federal Medical Board (BFMB) registration website and their online curricula vitae in the Brazilian National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico, CNPq, in Portuguese). We also evaluated the same parameters in a control group of non-electromyographer neurologists randomly matched by geographical distribution and gender. Results We found 469 electromyographers (384 neurologists and 85 non-neurologists), with a male predominance. In total, 81.9% were BFMB-certified neurologists, 49.9%, BFMB-certified clinical neurophysiologists, and 10.4%, BFMB-certified physiatrists. Among the non-neurologists, 48.2% were physiatrists. Most electromyographers practiced in states on the Southern and Southeastern regions of Brazil. When adjusted by population, the Federal District and the states of Mato Grosso do Sul and Goiás presented the highest of eletromyographers density. Electromyographers were not more likely to have current/past academic affiliations. Conclusion In Brazil, electromyography is performed predominantly by neurologists, and half of them are BFMB-certified clinical neurophysiologists. The present study highlights regional disparities and may guide government-based initiatives, for instance, to improve the diagnosis of leprosy and the management of neuromuscular disorders within the Brazilian territory.

Resumo Antecedentes Informações detalhadas sobre a prática de eletromiografia no Brasil são em grande parte indisponíveis. Objetivo Avaliar onde e como a eletromiografia é realizada no Brasil, as disparidades regionais, e as credenciais profissionais e acadêmicas dos eletromiografistas. Métodos Realizamos uma enquete via internet de eletromiografistas brasileiros ativos. Foram rastreados sites de operadoras de planos de saúde, academias profissionais médicas, cooperativas médicas, ferramentas de busca online e redes sociais em cada estado brasileiro. Em seguida, avaliamos as credenciais de cada eletromiografista listado no site de registro do Conselho Federal de Medicina (CFM) e seus curricula vitae online no Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq). Também avaliamos os mesmos parâmetros em um grupo controle de neurologistas não eletromiografistas pareados aleatoriamente por distribuição geográfica e gênero. Resultados Encontramos 469 eletromiografistas (384 neurologistas e 85 não neurologistas), com predominância do sexo masculino. Ao todo, 81,9% eram neurologistas com certificação confirmada pelo site do CFM, 49,9%, neurofisiologistas clínicos com certificação confirmada pelo site do CFM, e 10,4%, fisiatras com certificação confirmada pelo mesmo site. Entre os não neurologistas, 48,2% eram fisiatras. A maioria dos eletromiografistas atuava nos estados do Sul e do Sudeste. Quando ajustados pela população, o Distrito Federal e os estados de Mato Grosso do Sul e Goiás apresentaram a maior densidade de eletromiografistas. Os eletromiografistas não eram mais propensos a ter vínculos acadêmicos atuais/passados. Conclusão No Brasil, a eletromiografia é realizada predominantemente por neurologistas, e metade deles são neurofisiologistas clínicos com certificação confirmada pelo site do CFM. Este estudo destacou as disparidades regionais, e pode orientar ações governamentais para, por exemplo, melhorar o diagnóstico da hanseníase e o manejo das doenças neuromusculares no território brasileiro.

Resumen El mejoramiento genético de los cultivares de soja a lo largo de los años se ha centrado en aumentar la capacidad productiva y la tolerancia a algunos factores abióticos y bióticos. Sin embargo, durante la transferencia de genes de interés, algunos genes responsables de una menor tolerancia a los herbicidas pueden integrarse en el genoma del nuevo cultivar. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la selectividad de las asociaciones de herbicidas apli cadas en la post-emergencia de tres cultivares de soja. El diseño experimental utilizado fue un bloque completamente al azar, con cuatro repeticiones. Los cultivares seleccionados fueron M7110 IPRO®, Foco IPRO® y Bônus IPRO®. Los herbicidas y las respectivas dosis (g a.i. ha-1) utilizados fueron: glyphosate (1176), glyphosate + bentazon (1176 + 600), glyphosate + fomesafen (1176 + 175), glyphosate + lactofen (1176 + 120), glyphosate + imazethapyr (1176 + 100), glyphosate + chlorimuron (1176 + 10), glyphosate + cloransulam (1176 + 39,5), y un control sin aplicación de herbicida. Se hizo una nota visual de intoxicación para cada tratamiento. Los componentes de crecimiento y rendimiento evaluados fueron: altura, rodal, peso de cien granos y rendimiento. La aplicación de herbicidas en post-emergencia no alteró la masa vegetal de los cultivares de soja. Además, estos herbicidas no redujeron el rendimiento de los cultivares M7110 IPRO® y Foco IPRO®. Tanto el glifosato aislado como mezclado con lactofen o imazethapyr redujeron el rendimiento del cultivar Bônus IPRO®.

Abstract The genetic improvement of soybean cultivars over the years has focused on increasing the yield potential and tolerance to some abiotic and biotic factors. However, during the transfer of genes of interest, some genes responsible for a lower tolerance to herbicides can be integrated into the genome of the new cultivar. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the selectivity of herbicide associations applied in the postemergence period of three soybean cultivars. The experiment was conducted in a randomized completely block design, with four replications. The selected cultivars were M7110 IPRO®, Foco IPRO®, and Bônus IPRO®. The herbicides and the respective doses (g a.i. ha-1) used were glyphosate (1176), glyphosate + bentazon (1176 + 600), glyphosate + fomesafen (1176 + 175), glyphosate + lactofen (1176 + 120), glyphosate + imazethapyr (1176 + 100), glyphosate + chlorimuron (1176 + 10), glyphosate + cloransulam (1176 + 39.5), and a control without herbicide application. The visual note of intoxication was evaluated for each treatment. The components of growth and yield evaluated were height, stand, weight of one hundred grains, and yield. The application of postherbicide herbicides did not alter the plant stands of soybean cultivars. Additionally, these herbicides did not reduce the yield of the M7110 IPRO® and Foco IPRO® cultivars. Glyphosate isolated and in association with lactofen or imazethapyr reduced the grain yield of the Bônus IPRO® cultivar.

Abstract The work presents the results of the application of an active methodology in which the teaching-learning process on atmospheric variables, contents taught in climatology classes in geography disciplines in the final years of high school, were worked in an articulated way with practical construction activities of meteorological instruments as low-cost materials. The research was carried out in a public elementary school located in the municipality of Caucaia - Metropolitan Region of Fortaleza in the State of Ceará, with 26 students aged 14 to 17 years. The proposed methodology followed the guidelines contained in the Common National Curricular Base (BNCC) and in the Reference Curricular Documents of Ceará (DCRC) and was approved by the Ethics Committee of the State University of Ceará (UECE). The results showed that the methodology used in the study was able to provide a motivating teaching-learning process in which teachers and students could play their roles, in addition to providing significant knowledge about atmospheric variables, climate and climate variability, observed in the region. and their relationship with the environment in which they live.

Resumo O trabalho apresenta os resultados sobre a aplicação de uma metodologia ativa em que o processo de ensino-aprendizado sobre as variáveis atmosféricas, conteúdos ministrados nas aulas de climatologia nas disciplinas de geografia nos anos finais do ensino fundamental, foram trabalhados de forma articulada com atividades práticas de construção de instrumentos meteorológicos com materiais de baixo custo. A pesquisa foi realizada em uma escola pública de ensino fundamental localizada no município de Caucaia - Região Metropolitana de Fortaleza no Estado do Ceará, com 26 estudantes na faixa etária de 14 a 17 anos. A metodologia proposta seguiu as orientações contidas na Base Nacional Curricular Comum (BNCC) e no Documentos Curricular Referencial do Ceará (DCRC) e foi aprovada no Comitê de ética da Universidade Estadual do Ceará (UECE). Os resultados mostraram que a metodologia empregada no estudo foi capaz de proporcionar um processo de ensino-aprendizado motivador em que professor e estudantes puderam exercer seus protagonismos, além de proporcionar conhecimentos significativos sobre as variáveis atmosféricas, o clima e a variabilidade climática, observadas na região e a relação destas com meio ambiente em que vivem.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Stroke is a major cause of death and functional disability worldwide. Knowledge of the associated factors is essential for defining education, management, and healthcare strategies. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the association between arrival time at a neurology referral hospital (ATRH) and functional disability in patients with ischemic stroke 90 days after the event. DESIGN AND SETTING: Prospective cohort study conducted at a public institution of higher education in Brazil. METHODS: This study included 241 people aged ≥ 18 years who presented ischemic stroke. The exclusion criteria were death, inability to communicate without companions who could answer the research questions, and > 10 days since ictus. Disability was assessed using the Rankin score (mR). Variables for which associations showed a P value ≤ 0.20 in bivariate analysis were tested as modifiers between ATRH and disability. Significant interaction terms were used for multivariate analysis. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed with all variables, arriving at the complete model and adjusted beta measures. The confounding variables were included in the robust logistic regression model, and Akaike’s Information Criterion was adopted to choose the final model. The Poisson model assumes a statistical significance of 5% and risk correction. RESULTS: Most participants (56.0%) arrived at the hospital within 4.5 hours of symptom onset, and 51.7% presented with mRs of 3 to 5 after 90 days of ictus. In the multivariate model, ATRH ≥ 4.5 hours and females were associated with more significant disability. CONCLUSIONS: Arrival at the referral hospital 4.5 hours after the onset of symptoms or wake-up stroke was an independent predictor of a high degree of functional disability.

Abstract Introduction Despite the results of epidemiological and psychometric studies reporting comparable levels of tobacco dependence among males and females, some clinical studies have detected disparities. Some smoking cessation studies based on clinical setting programs reported poorer outcomes among women than men. Methods This retrospective cohort study aimed to compare treatment success and retention between men and women on a smoking cessation program (n = 1,014) delivered at a CAPS-AD unit in Brazil. The psychological intervention lasted 6 weeks for each group of 15 patients. Each patient had to participate in weekly group cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) sessions and individual medical appointments during this period. These appointments were focused on the possibility of prescribing pharmacological treatment (i.e., nicotine replacement therapy, bupropion, or nortriptyline) as adjuvants to group therapy. Results The women had lower smoking severity at baseline, more clinical symptoms, and lower prevalence of alcohol and drug use disorders and were older than the men. Females had significantly higher levels of success (36.6% vs. 29.7%) and retention (51.6% vs. 41.4%) than males. Sensitivity analysis showed that female gender was significantly associated with both retention and success, among those without drug use disorders only. Conclusion Depending on the smoking cessation setting (i.e., low and middle-income countries and mental health and addiction care units), females can achieve similar and even higher quit rates than males. Previous drug use disorder was an important confounding variable in the gender outcomes analyses. Future studies should try to replicate these positive smoking cessation effects of CBT-based group therapy plus pharmacotherapy in women.

Abstract Background Warfarin is the only oral anticoagulant available in the Brazilian public health system. Health knowledge and treatment are essential to achieving the desirable therapeutic effect. However, data on these aspects among primary care patients are still lacking. Objective To assess health literacy, patient knowledge, and adherence to oral anticoagulation with warfarin, as well as the medication regimen complexity in primary health units in the municipality of Divinópolis, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Methods This cross-sectional study included patients using warfarin from primary care settings. Sociodemographic and clinical data were collected from medical records. Short Assessment of Health Literacy for Portuguese-Speaking Adults (SAHLPA-18), Oral Anticoagulation Knowledge (OAK), adaptation of the Measure of Adherence to Treatment (MAT-adapted) to oral anticoagulation, and Medication Regimen Complexity Index (MRCI) were applied, and the time in therapeutic range (TTR) was calculated. Patients were stratified in two groups (TTR < 60% and TTR ≥ 60%) and compared using Fisher's exact test at a significance level of p < 0.050. Results Analysis included 162 patients (64.8 ± 12.7 years old, 55.6% women). Nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (26.5%) and venous thromboembolism (24.1%) were the main indications for warfarin, and 67.9%, 88.3%, and 16.7% of the patients had inadequate health literacy, insufficient knowledge regarding anticoagulant therapy, and non-adherence to warfarin therapy, respectively. There was no significant association of these parameters in relation to TTR. MRCI showed high pharmacotherapy complexity between the drug prescriptions. Conclusion This study showed alarming insufficient knowledge about warfarin therapy and low health literacy in primary care patients.

ABSTRACT Objective: To verify the association between sociodemographic, clinical, environmental, cognitive, and emotional factors and the decision time of people with ischemic stroke to seek a health service after the onset of symptoms or wake up stroke. Method: Cross-sectional study carried out from March to October 2019, with 304 patients, in a public hospital, a reference in neurology. Data obtained through interview and from medical records. Decision time was analyzed as a geometric mean. In the bivariate and multivariate analyses, linear regression was used and the Akaike Information Criterion was used to select the best model. Statistical significance of 5% was adopted. Results: The geometric mean of decision time was 0.30h (95% CI 0.23–0.39). The final model explained this time in 41%, showing an increase of 0.5 min for people with arterial hypertension; 10.8 min for those who waited for symptoms to improve; 1.4 min for those who were alone at the onset of symptoms; 3.9 min for those at home; 3.2 min for the ones at work; and 2.1 for those on the street/public space. Conclusion: The mean decision time for seeking a health service was high and influenced by clinical, environmental, cognitive, and emotional variables. The results guide nurses regarding health education.

Abstract Objective To evaluate clinical characteristics and outcomes of COVID-19 patients infected with HIV, and to compare with a paired sample without HIV infection. Methods This is a substudy of a Brazilian multicentric cohort that comprised two periods (2020 and 2021). Data was obtained through the retrospective review of medical records. Primary outcomes were admission to the intensive care unit, invasive mechanical ventilation, and death. Patients with HIV and controls were matched for age, sex, number of comorbidities, and hospital of origin using the technique of propensity score matching (up to 4:1). They were compared using the Chi-Square or Fisher's Exact tests for categorical variables and the Wilcoxon for numerical variables. Results Throughout the study, 17,101 COVID-19 patients were hospitalized, and 130 (0.76%) of those were infected with HIV. The median age was 54 (IQR: 43.0;64.0) years in 2020 and 53 (IQR: 46.0;63.5) years in 2021, with a predominance of females in both periods. People Living with HIV (PLHIV) and their controls showed similar prevalence for admission to the ICU and invasive mechanical ventilation requirement in the two periods, with no significant differences. In 2020, in-hospital mortality was higher in the PLHIV compared to the controls (27.9% vs. 17.7%; p = 0.049), but there was no difference in mortality between groups in 2021 (25.0% vs. 25.1%; p > 0.999). Conclusions Our results reiterate that PLHIV were at higher risk of COVID-19 mortality in the early stages of the pandemic, however, this finding did not sustain in 2021, when the mortality rate is similar to the control group.

Abstract Objective To assess the level of exercise of older people with Parkinson's disease (PD), taking into account sociodemographic, clinical, and functional characteristics. Method A cross-sectional study was carried out based on the following data: level of physical activity (International Physical Activity Questionnaire short version - short IPAQ), sleep disorders, cognitive complaints, duration of illness, degree of dependence to perform basic daily activities through Schwab & England (S&E) scale of older individuals with PD treated at a tertiary health service during the covid-19 pandemic. Poisson regression, Mann-Whitney U test and Student's t test were used for statistical analysis. Results The prevalence ratio of being active increased by 1.04 (95% CI 1.01 - 1.08) for every 10 points of elevation on the S&E scale, whereas those who did not report sleep difficulties had a prevalence ratio of 1.17 (95% CI 1.02-1.34) times greater to be active. Inactive individuals with PD were older and had longer disease duration. Conclusion Emphasis should be given to the functional capacity and sleep of individuals with PD for the adequate management of the PA level in periods of social restriction.

Abstract Objective: to describe the COVID-19 clinical outcomes profile from mining workers and the cases dynamic within the mining units and their respective municipalities. Methods: a cohort and ecological study using workers clinical-epidemiological, sociodemographic, and occupational secondary data of a multinational mining company, and of COVID-19 cases from five municipalities where the mining units were located, in Brazil, between March 2020 to April 2021. We calculated the cases cumulative incidence and the 7-day moving average (MA), and compared at the mining unit and respective municipality. Results: the study included 17,523 workers, 88.4% male, and 22.6% had at least one positive result for COVID-19. The workers most tested, with positive results, placed in quarantine, and with symptoms were female, middle-aged, living and working in Rio de Janeiro state, directly hired by the mining company, in shift-work, and in high-risk occupations. All mining units presented a cumulative incidence higher than their respective municipalities. Three municipalities showed peaks of COVID-19 with MA cases coinciding with an increase in cases among mining workers. Conclusion: approximately one-fifth of workers were diagnosed with COVID-19. The mining units had a similar temporal distribution of COVID-19 cases to the municipalities where they were located.

Resumo Objetivo: descrever o perfil de desfechos de COVID-19 em trabalhadores da mineração e a dinâmica dos casos nas unidades de mineração e seus respectivos municípios. Métodos: estudo de coorte e ecológico, com dados secundários clínico-epidemiológicos, sociodemográficos e ocupacionais de trabalhadores de mineradora multinacional no Brasil e de casos de COVID-19 nos cinco municípios onde as unidades estavam localizadas, de março de 2020 a abril de 2021. A incidência acumulada e média móvel (MM) de 7 dias dos casos foram calculadas e comparadas na unidade e respectivo município. Resultados: foram incluídos 17.523 trabalhadores; 88,4% eram do sexo masculino; e 22,6% tiveram pelo menos um resultado positivo. Os trabalhadores mais testados, com casos positivos, colocados em quarentena e com sintomas foram do sexo feminino, de meia-idade, morando e trabalhando no Rio de Janeiro, diretamente contratados pela mineradora, em turnos e ocupações de alto risco. Todas as unidades apresentaram uma incidência acumulada superior aos seus respectivos municípios. Três municípios apresentaram picos de COVID-19 com MM coincidindo com o aumento de casos entre trabalhadores de mineração. Conclusão: aproximadamente um quinto dos trabalhadores foram diagnosticados com COVID-19, e a distribuição temporal dos casos nas unidades de mineração foi semelhante àquela dos municípios onde estavam localizadas.

ABSTRACT The objective of this work was to determine the physical and mechanical properties of paricá (Schizolobium parahyba var. amazonicum (Huber x Ducke)) LVL panels bonded with urea-formaldehyde resin. Six LVL panels were produced with 17 sheets of 2.5 mm thick, 14 sheets of paricá and 3 sheets of marupá (Simarouba amara Aubl.). For the standard temperature condition of 12%, tests were carried out on moisture content, apparent and basic densities (physical characterization), resistance to resistance parallel and perpendicular to the fibers, traction parallel to the fibers, shearing in the glue line and flatwise static bending and edgewise (mechanical characterization). In addition, saturation tests parallel to the fibers and shear tests were carried out in the LVL glue line in the condition of total saturation of the wood. The results appreciated that the LVL panels fall within the D30 strength class and medium density. The brittle type failure mode was observed in all mechanical tests, except in the parallel and perpendicular compression tests to the fibers. The increase in moisture content, due to the total saturation of the wood, negatively influences the resistance to the slope parallel to the fibers and to the shear strength in the glue line. The LVL presented a mechanical performance compatible with the substitute.

RESUMO O trabalho teve como objetivo determinar as propriedades físicas e mecânicas de painéis LVL de paricá (Schizolobium parahyba var. amazonicum (Huber x Ducke)) colados com resina ureia-formaldeído. Foram produzidos 6 painéis LVL com 17 lâminas de 2,5 mm de espessura, sendo 14 lâminas de paricá e 3 lâminas de marupá (Simarouba amara Aubl.). Para a condição de umidade padrão de 12%, foram realizados ensaios de teor de umidade, densidades aparente e básica (caracterização física), resistências à compressão paralela e perpendicular às fibras, tração paralela às fibras, cisalhamento na linha de cola e flexão estática flatwise e edgewise (caracterização mecânica). Na condição de saturação total da madeira, foram realizados ensaios de compressão paralela às fibras e cisalhamento na linha de cola do LVL. Os resultados mostraram que os painéis LVL se enquadram na classe de resistência D30, caracterizado com média densidade. Foi observado o modo de ruptura do tipo frágil em todos os ensaios mecânicos, exceto nos ensaios de compressão paralela e perpendicular às fibras. O aumento do teor de umidade, decorrente da saturação total da madeira, influenciou de forma negativa nas resistências à compressão paralela às fibras e ao cisalhamento na linha de cola. O LVL apresentou desempenho mecânico compatível com as solicitações estruturais.

ABSTRACT The fava bean crop makes an important socioeconomic contribution to the Northeast region of Brazil. However, in this region, there is a quantitative and qualitative shortage of water, being necessary the use of brackish water for irrigation. This study aimed to evaluate the saline stress on the yield and water-use efficiency in fava bean crop cultivated under monoculture and intercropping systems. The experiment was conducted under field conditions, using a randomized blocks experimental design, in a 5 × 2 factorial arrangement, with four replications. The first factor corresponded to five levels of electrical conductivity of irrigation water (1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0 dS m−1) and the second comprised two cropping systems: fava bean grown in monoculture and intercropped with corn. The salt stress negatively affected the number of pods in the intercropped system, but with less intensity. The increase of salts in the irrigation water reduces the pod length, diameter and mass, as well as the yield and water-use efficiency, while the monoculture system is less affected by these effects.

RESUMO A cultura da fava desempenha importante contribuição socioeconômica para a região Nordeste do Brasil. Contudo, nessa região, há escassez quantitativa e qualitativa de água, sendo necessária a utilização de água salobra para a irrigação. Objetivou-se avaliar o estresse salino na produtividade e eficiência do uso de água na cultura de fava cultivada em sistemas de monocultivo e consorciado. O experimento foi conduzido em condições de campo, com delineamento experimental em blocos ao acaso, em arranjo fatorial 5 × 2, com quatro repetições. O primeiro fator correspondeu a cinco níveis de condutividade elétrica da água de irrigação (1,0; 2,0; 3,0; 4,0; e 5,0 dS m−1) e o segundo compreendeu dois sistemas de cultivo: fava cultivada em monocultivo e em consórcio com milho. O estresse salino afetou negativamente o número de vagens no sistema consorciado, porém com menor intensidade. O aumento dos sais da água de irrigação reduz o comprimento, diâmetro e massa de vagens, produtividade e eficiência no uso da água, sendo que o sistema de monocultivo é menos afetado por esses efeitos.

RESUMO JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: A poliartralgia crônica do vírus Chikungunya (CHIKV) deteriora a funcionalidade e a produtividade do trabalho. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar funcionalidade, dor, qualidade de vida e sono de indivíduos com artralgia crônica por CHIKV correlacionada com sintomas clínicos, produtividade do trabalho e comprometimento das atividades. MÉTODOS: Trata-se de um estudo transversal descritivo com 61 pacientes crônicos de artralgia da CHIKV. A intensidade e a interferência da dor foram medidas usando a Escala Analógica Visual (EAV) e o Brief Pain Inventory Short Form (BPI), respectivamente. A qualidade de vida e o sono foram avaliados usando o Short Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36) e o Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), respectivamente. O questionário Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI) foi usado para avaliar os efeitos dos sintomas gerais da saúde no trabalho. RESULTADOS: Foi observado um nível de funcionalidade baixo em 39,4% e moderado em 55,7% da amostra. Nível de dor moderada (5,57 ± 2,25), má qualidade do sono (47,54%) e distúrbios do sono (42,63%) também foram observados. O teste de Pearson apresentou correlação significativa entre absenteísmo e presenteísmo com as pontuações de Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) (p = 0,03; r = 0,39 e p = 0,01; r = 0,43 respectivamente), interferência do BPI (p = 0,02; r = 0,41 e p = 0,001; r = 0,58 respectivamente) e score físico do SF-36 (p = 0,007; r = -0,49 e p = 0,01; r = 0,58, respectivamente). O comprometimento da atividade mostrou uma correlação significativa com o HAQ (p = 0,01; r = 0,44), interferência do BPI (p = 0,006; r = 0,5), pontuação física do SF-36 (p = 0,01; r = -0,6) e pontuação total do SF-36 (p = 0,01; r = -0,44). A perda geral de produtividade no trabalho correlacionou-se apenas com a interferência do BPI (p = 0,04; r = 0,37). CONCLUSÃO: Esses resultados sugerem que a artralgia crônica da CHIKV apresenta dor moderada bilateral em grandes articulações com impacto nas atividades de vida diária, produtividade no trabalho e atividade funcional. DESTAQUES A Chikungunya crônica reduz a funcionalidade e causa dor moderada e má qualidade do sono. Os sintomas clínicos afetam atividades de vida diária, a produtividade no trabalho e comprometimento de atividades. Funcionalidade, dor e sono estão correlacionados com o desempenho profissional.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) chronic polyarthralgia deteriorates general functionality and work productivity. The objective of this study was to evaluate functionality, pain, quality of life, and sleep quality of individuals with chronic CHIKV arthralgia and correlate them with clinical symptoms, work productivity, and activity impairment. METHODS: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study with 61 chronic CHIKV arthralgia patients. Functionality was assessed using the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ). Pain intensity and interference were measured by using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and the Brief Pain Inventory Short Form (BPI), respectively. Quality of life and sleep were evaluated using the Short Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), respectively. Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI) questionnaire was used to assess the effects of health in general symptoms on work. RESULTS: Low and moderate level of function was present in 39.4% and 55.7% of the sample, respectively. Moderate pain (5.57 ± 2.25), poor sleep quality (47.54%), and sleep disturbances (42.63%) were also observed. Pearson correlations showed significant correlation between absenteeism and presenteeism with HAQ scores (p = 0.03; r = 0.39 and p = 0.01; r = 0.43, respectively), BPI interference (p = 0.02; r = 0.41 and p = 0.001; r = 0.58, respectively) and SF-36 physical score (p = 0.007; r = -0.49 and p = 0.01; r = 0.58, respectively). Activity impairment showed a significant correlation with HAQ (p = 0.01; r = 0.44), BPI interference (p = 0.006; r = 0.5), SF-36 physical score (p = 0.01; r = -0.6) and SF-36 total score (p = 0.01; r = -0.44). Overall work productivity loss only correlated with BPI interference (p = 0.04; r = 0.37). CONCLUSION: These results suggest that CHIKV chronic arthralgia showed bilateral moderate pain in large joints that impacts activities of daily life, work productivity, and functional activity. HIGHLIGHTS Chronic chikungunya reduces functionality and causes moderate pain and poor sleep quality Clinical symptoms impact daily living activity, work productivity, and activity impairment. Functionality, pain, and sleep correlate with occupational performance.
