ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: The diagnosis and treatment of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) are crucial for tuberculosis (TB) control. Household contacts (HHC) of patients with pulmonary TB are at a high risk of LTBI due to their close proximity to source cases. OBJECTIVE: To describe the diagnosis and treatment of LTBI among HHC. DESIGN AND SETTING: This cross-sectional follow-up study was conducted in the municipality of Paulo Afonso, northeastern Brazil, between 2013 and 2022. METHODS: We retrieved secondary data from the medical records of HHC who were followed up at a specialized referral center for TB. LTBI prevalence estimates were calculated and are presented with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS: In total, 622 HHC were screened for LTBI, with 620 evaluated using the tuberculin skin test (TST). Of these, 40 (6.5%) did not return for TST reading. The overall prevalence of LTBI was 53.1% (95% CI: 49–57.1%), with a high prevalence among females and individuals aged 25–34 years. The overall LTBI treatment initiation rate was 26.1% (95%CI: 21.5–31.3%), and 64.2% (95%CI: 53.3–73.8%) of HHC who initiated treatment completed their course. CONCLUSION: This study revealed a high prevalence of LTBI among HHC, particularly among women and individuals aged 25–34 years, underscoring the ongoing TB transmission within the community. Only 26.1% of the diagnosed HHC initiated treatment, with approximately 64% completing their course. This highlights the challenges in managing LTBI and emphasizes the need for targeted screening and interventions for high-risk groups.

ABSTRACT In the world, colorectal cancer presents high rates of incidence and mortality, with differences according to the level of sociodemographic development. The objective of this study was to analyze the sociodemographic disparities of colorectal cancer in the Brazilian population aged 30 and older. This is a time series study of incidence, mortality, disability-adjusted life years (DALY), and prevalence, by sex, in Brazil and its Federal Units (FU) states from 1990 to 2019. The trend was estimated using Joinpoint regression analysis, and the Socio-Demographic Index (SDI) was used in the correlation analysis. The data analyzed were estimated by the Global Burden of Diseases Study 19. In Brazil and its states, the highest rates of these indicators were observed in males, with an increasing trend in both sexes. There was a positive association between SDI and all the analyzed indicators except for DALY in men. The differences in rates and trends between the states reflect the country’s development processes, such as urbanization and industrialization. More developed states have high rates with stable trends, while less developed states exhibit the opposite behavior, suggesting improved access to healthcare services and diagnosis.

RESUMO No mundo, o câncer colorretal apresenta altas taxas de incidência e mortalidade, com diferenças segundo nível de desenvolvimento sociodemográfico. O objetivo foi analisar as disparidades sociodemográficas do câncer colorretal na população brasileira com 30 anos ou mais. Trata-se de estudo de série temporal da incidência, mortalidade, Anos de Vida Ajustados por Incapacidade (Disability Adjusted Life Years – DALY) e prevalência, segundo sexo, no Brasil e nas Unidades da Federação (UF) de 1990 a 2019. A tendência foi estimada pela regressão de Joinpoint, e o índice sociodemográfico (SDI – Socio-Demographic Index) foi utilizado na análise de correlação. Os dados analisados foram estimados pelo Global Burden of Diseases Study 19. No Brasil e nas UF, as maiores taxas dos indicadores foram observadas no sexo masculino, com tendência de aumento em ambos os sexos. Houve associação positiva entre o SDI e todos os indicadores analisados, exceto para DALY em homens. As diferenças nas taxas e tendências entre as UF parecem refletir os processos de desenvolvimento do País, tais como urbanização e industrialização, em que as UF mais desenvolvidas possuem taxas elevadas com tendências de estabilidade, e as UF em desenvolvimento, com comportamento inverso, sugerindo melhorias de acesso aos serviços de saúde e diagnósticos.

Resumo Objetivo Avaliar o desempenho de cirurgiões na ressecção de deformidades tipo CAME fazendo uso de um simulador realista de cirurgia artroscópica. Métodos Um simulador artroscópico foi criado a partir de materiais de baixo custo com auxílio de uma impressora 3D GTMax Core A1 e dos programas Invesalius e Meshmixer 2017, que foram utilizados para criar peças de cabeça de fêmur em material ABS, com a presença de uma deformidade tipo CAME, a fim de mimetizar uma situação de impacto femoroacetabular. Após as operações serem realizadas por 16 cirurgiões, os fêmures foram comparados a um modelo prévio com e outro sem deformidade pelo programa Cloudcompare, sendo avaliados ao final parâmetros como diferença volumétrica entre os fêmures operados, com e sem deformidade, distância mínima e máxima entre eles, porcentagem da deformidade ressecada, tempo estimado para ressecção total da deformidade, além de uma análise qualitativa feita com base nas imagens e gráficos fornecidos pelo programa representando as áreas das peças efetivamente ressecadas. Resultados A velocidade média de resseção foi de 34,66mm3/minuto (DP = 46 mm3/min, max = 147,33 mm3/min; min = −2,66 mm3/min). A média de ressecção obtida foi de 26,2% (DP = 34,7%, max = 111%; min = −2%). A análise qualitativa demonstrou uma hiporresecção das deformidades e, por vezes, hiperresecção de áreas não deformadas. O simulador foi muito bem avaliado pelos cirurgiões, tendo uma sensação tátil bem semelhante à cirurgia real segundo os mesmos. Conclusão Simuladores artroscópicos se mostraram muito úteis no treinamento de cirurgiões menos experientes. artroscópica D 2017 ABS femoroacetabular 1 Cloudcompare operados eles ressecada ressecadas 3466mm3minuto mmminuto 34 66mm3 minuto mm DP 4 mm3min mmmin mm3 mm3/min 14733 147 33 147,3 266 2 66 −2,6 mm3/min. . mm3/min) 262 26 26,2 347 7 34,7% 111% 111 −2%. −2% −2%) vezes deformadas mesmos experientes 201 3 66mm 1473 14 147, 6 −2, 26, 34,7 11 −2 20 34, −

Abstract Objective To evaluate surgeons’ performance in resecting CAM-type deformities using a realistic arthroscopic surgery simulator. Methods An arthroscopic simulator was created using low-cost materials with the help of a GTMax Core A1 3D printer and the programs Invesalius and Meshmixer 2017, which were used to develop femoral head parts in ABS material, with the presence of a CAM-type deformity, to mimic a femoroacetabular impact situation. After the operations were performed by 16 surgeons, the femurs were compared to a previous model with deformity and another without, using Cloudcompare, and parameters such as the volumetric difference between the operated femurs, with and without deformity, the minimum and maximum distance between them, the percentage of the deformity resected, the estimated time for total resection of the deformity, as well as a qualitative analysis based on the images and graphs provided by the program representing the areas of the parts resected, were evaluated at the end. Results The average resection speed was 34.66 mm3/min (SD = 46 mm3/min, max = 147.33; min = −2.66). The average resection rate was 26.2% (SD = 34.7%, max = 111; min = −2). Qualitative analysis showed hyporesection of deformities and sometimes hyperresection of nondeformed areas. The simulator was highly rated by the surgeons, with a tactile sensation very similar to real surgery, according to them.

resumen Objetivo: El objetivo del presente estudio es verificar las cualidades psicométricas del PID-5- FBF en una muestra comunitaria de adultos brasileños. Se comprobó la consistencia interna de las facetas y la estructura interna de las dimensiones. Además, se verificaron las correlaciones entre las facetas y los dominios de PID-5-FBF con una medida del modelo de 5 factores. Métodos: Formaron la muestra de este estudio los 774 adultos brasileños de 18 a 73 (media, 28,9±11,58) an˜ os que respondieron al PID-5-FBF y BFI-2S. Resultados: Los valores alfa fueron adecuados. La estructura interna era similar a la forma original del PID-5. Todos los factores y dimensiones del PID-5-FBF tienen una asociación negativa con la agradabilidad y, por otro lado, todas las correlaciones con el neuroticismo fueron positivas. El neuroticismo fue el factor con mayor correlación con el PID-5-FBF y la apertura, el de menor número de correlaciones. Conclusiones: La presente investigación contribuye a agregar evidencia de validez al PID-5- FBF en la muestra de la comunidad brasileña. Nuestros resultados son importantes porque es el primer estudio con PID-FBF en una muestra brasileña.

abstract Objective: The aim of the present study was to verify the psychometric qualities of the PID-5-FBF in a community sample of Brazilian adults. The internal consistency of the facets and the internal structure of the dimensions were checked. In addition, we verified the correlations between the PID-5-FBF facets and domains with a five-factor model measure. Methods: The sample of this study consists of the 774 Brazilian adults aged 18 to 73 years (mean 28.9 ± 11.58) who answered the PID-5-FBF and BFI-2S. Results: The alpha values were adequate. The internal structure was similar to the PID-5 original form. All the factors and dimensions of the PID-5-FBF have a negative association with agreeableness, while, on the other hand, all correlations with neuroticism were positive. Neuroticism was the factor with the highest correlation with the PID-5-FBF, and openness was the one with the lowest number of correlations. Conclusions: This research contributes to adding evidence of validity to the PID-5-FBF in the Brazilian community sample. Our results are important because it is the first study with the PID-FBF in a Brazilian sample.

Abstract Objective: To report the experience of a single center in the treatment of temporal bone paragangliomas with Robotic Radiosurgery. Study Design: Single-center retrospective analysis Material and Methods: Between 2017 and 2021, 8 patients with temporal bone paragangliomas were treated with Cyberknife in the Department of Radiation Oncology of Instituto CUF Porto. Results: Half of the patients were diagnosed with recurrent tumors after surgery +/- embolization. The median follow-up was 33 months. Regarding clinical outcomes, 4 patients showed improvement in pre-radiosurgery symptoms, 2 remained symptom-free and 2 demonstrated neurological stability. All tumors revealed regression (n=5) or stable dimension (n=3) during follow-up MRI, with local control of 100%. There was no grade ≥3 or late toxicities. Conclusion: Robotic Radiosurgery seems to be a helpful therapeutic approach in the management of temporal bone paragangliomas, either after surgery and/or embolization recurrences or as a single and radical treatment.

Conclusões: Na presente análise, a radiocirurgia robótica parece demonstrar ser uma abordagem terapêutica útil na gestão dos paragangliomas do osso temporal, quer nas recidivas após cirurgia e/ou embolização, quer como tratamento radical único.

ABSTRACT Luis Tavares revolutionized cardiac surgery, always bringing the most modern instruments and equipment from his travels to England - surgical forceps, scissors, scalpels, etc. He always insisted that he was not just a thoracic surgeon, for his work extended over a wide field and created three important cardiac surgery centers which promoted a great development of cardiology. He carried out the first open heart surgery (atrial septal defect) employing extracorporeal circulation and closure of a ventricular septal defect with deep surface hypothermia of north and northeast Brazil. He promoted an intense scientific exchange program between Recife and England, resulting in significant advances in medicine, and participated directly in the creation of HEMOPE), leading to radical changes and improvements in blood therapy in the whole country. The PROCAPE, inaugurated in 2006, was the result of the cardiac center created by him in early 1970 at Hospital Oswaldo Cruz and can be considered the second largest public-university cardiology center in Brazil. He is thus widely regarded as an outstanding name in medicine in the 20th century and one of the fathers of modern cardiac surgery in Brazil. forceps scissors scalpels etc surgeon atrial Brazil HEMOPE, HEMOPE , HEMOPE) country PROCAPE 2006 197 publicuniversity public university th 200 19 20 1 2

Resumo: A vigilância sentinela de síndrome gripal atua no Brasil identificando os vírus respiratórios de importância para a saúde pública circulantes no país, e começou a ser implementada em 2000. Recentemente, a pandemia de COVID-19 reforçou a importância da detecção precoce de novos vírus em circulação no território brasileiro. Assim, se faz oportuna uma análise do desenho da vigilância sentinela de síndrome gripal. Para tal, simulamos uma rede sentinela, identificando os municípios que fariam parte da rede segundo os critérios definidos no desenho da vigilância sentinela de síndrome gripal, e, a partir dos dados de casos testados de síndrome respiratória aguda grave (SRAG) de 2014 a 2019, sorteamos amostras para cada município sentinela por semana epidemiológica. O sorteio foi repetido mil vezes, obtendo-se a mediana e intervalo quantílico de 95% (IQ95%) da positividade para cada vírus por Unidade Federativa e semana epidemiológica. Segundo os critérios do desenho da vigilância sentinela de síndrome gripal, unidades sentinelas estariam em 64 municípios, distribuídas principalmente em capitais e suas zonas metropolitanas, o que preconizou 690 amostras semanais. O desenho apresentou boa sensibilidade (total de 91,65%, considerando o IQ95%) para a detecção qualitativa dos vírus respiratórios, mesmo os de baixa circulação. Porém, houve importante incerteza na estimativa quantitativa de positividade, chegando a, pelo menos, 20% em 11,34% das estimativas. Os resultados aqui apresentados visam auxiliar a avaliação e a atualização do desenho da rede sentinela. Estratégias para reduzir a incerteza nas estimativas de positividade precisam ser avaliadas, assim como a necessidade de maior cobertura espacial.

Abstract: The influenza-like illness (ILI) sentinel surveillance operates in Brazil to identify respiratory viruses of public health relevance circulating in the country and was first implemented in 2000. Recently, the COVID-19 pandemic reinforced the importance of early detection of the circulation of new viruses in Brazil. Therefore, an analysis of the design of the ILI sentinel surveillance is timely. To this end, we simulated a sentinel surveillance network, identifying the municipalities that would be part of the network according to the criteria defined in the design of the ILI sentinel surveillance and, based on data from tested cases of severe acute respiratory illness (SARI) from 2014 to 2019, we drew samples for each sentinel municipality per epidemiological week. The draw was performed 1,000 times, obtaining the median and 95% quantile interval (95%QI) of virus positivity by Federative Unit and epidemiological week. According to the ILI sentinel surveillance design criteria, sentinel units would be in 64 municipalities, distributed mainly in capitals and their metropolitan areas, recommending 690 weekly samples. The design showed good sensitivity (91.65% considering the 95%QI) for qualitatively detecting respiratory viruses, even those with low circulation. However, there was important uncertainty in the quantitative estimate of positivity, reaching at least 20% in 11.34% of estimates. The results presented here aim to assist in evaluating and updating the ILI sentinel surveillance design. Strategies to reduce uncertainty in positivity estimates need to be evaluated, as does the need for greater spatial coverage.

Resumen: La vigilancia centinela de la enfermedad tipo infuenza (ETI) funciona en Brasil para identificar los virus respiratorios de importancia para la salud pública que circulan en el país y comenzó a ser implementada en 2000. Recientemente, la pandemia de COVID-19 ha reforzado la importancia de la detección temprana de la circulación de nuevos virus en el territorio brasileño. Así, se hace oportuno un análisis del diseño de la vigilancia centinela de la ETI. Para ello, simulamos una red centinela identificando los municipios que formarían parte de la red según los criterios definidos en el diseño de la vigilancia centinela de la ETI y, a partir de los datos de casos testados de infección respiratoria aguda grave (IRAG) de 2014 a 2019, se extrajeron muestras para cada municipio centinela por semana epidemiológica. El sorteo se repitió 1.000 veces y se obtuvo la mediana y el intervalo cuantílico del 95% (IC95%) de la positividad por virus, por Unidad Federativa y semana epidemiológica. Según los criterios del diseño de la vigilancia centinela de la ETI, unidades centinelas estarían en 64 municipios, distribuidas principalmente en capitales y zonas metropolitanas de las capitales, preconizando 690 muestras semanales. El diseño presentó una buena sensibilidad (total de 91,65% considerando el IC95%) para la detección cualitativa de los virus respiratorios, incluso los de baja circulación. Sin embargo, hubo una importante incertidumbre en la estimación cuantitativa de la positividad, alcanzando al menos el 20% en el 11,34% de las estimaciones. Los resultados presentados aquí tienen como objetivo ayudar en la evaluación y actualización del diseño de la red centinela. Es necesario evaluar las estrategias para reducir la incertidumbre en las estimaciones de positividad, al igual que la necesidad de una mayor cobertura espacial.

Abstract This article discusses the initial processes related to sexually engaging with a partner, addressing issues related to the permanence or changes in gender relations and morality that circumscribe the exercise of sexuality at this life stage. We use data from the socio-anthropological multisite survey “Jovens da era digital” (Young people in the digital age), which interviewed 194 young people aged 16 to 24 years concerning their affective-sexual trajectories from 2021 to 2022 - a period characterized by significant declines in COVID-19 pandemic-related mortality. In this article, we reflect on sexuality socialization processes based on three biographical cases, which provide a wealth of dimensions and specificities demonstrating the diversification of youth sexuality socialization processes in contemporary Brazilian society.

Resumo Este artigo discute os processos de entrada na sexualidade com parceiro.a, abordando questões relativas às permanências e/ou às mudanças das relações de gênero e moralidade que circunscrevem o exercício da sexualidade nesta etapa da vida. São utilizados dados oriundos da pesquisa socioantropológica multisituada “Jovens da era digital”, em que foram entrevistados 194 jovens, com idade entre 16 e 24 anos, a respeito de suas trajetórias afetivo-sexuais, entre os anos de 2021 e 2022 - período imediatamente posterior ao arrefecimento do número de mortes da pandemia de covid-19. Neste texto, nos dedicamos a refletir sobre o processo de socialização para a sexualidade a partir de três casos biográficos, os quais aportam uma riqueza de dimensões e de especificidades que nos impelem a argumentar em termos de diversificação dos processos juvenis na socialização para sexualidade na contemporaneidade.

This work describes the multigram-scale synthesis of the building-block N1 (7 chloroquinolin-4-yl)ethane-1,2-diamine via sonochemistry and its use in the synthesis of seven new quinoline-thiazole hybrids endowed with interesting anticancer activity. Target compounds were planned based on the drugs chloroquine and primaquine and the desired thiazoles were obtained through the Hantzsch thiazole synthesis, without the use of catalysts, by reacting key intermediate 1-(2-((7-chloroquinolin-4-yl)amino)ethyl)thiourea, obtained in two-steps from N1 (7-chloroquinolin-4-yl)ethane-1,2-diamine, with different 2-bromoacetophenones. The novel molecules were assessed against four different leukemia cell lines (HL60, K562, KASUMI-1, and KG-1) plus normal fibroblasts (L929), using the 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazol)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, and showed, overall, a high cytotoxic profile, but with interesting selectivity index, especially against K562 cells (1.89 to 5.50), when compared to standard doxorubicin (3.51). Docking studies suggest that all tested derivatives are able to interact with BCR-ABL1 tyrosine kinase enzyme, and, therefore, these molecules may be promising leads against chronic myeloid leukemia. multigramscale multigram scale buildingblock building block N 7 ( chloroquinolin4ylethane1,2diamine chloroquinolin4ylethane12diamine chloroquinolinylethanediamine chloroquinolin 4 yl ethane 1,2 diamine 1 2 quinolinethiazole quinoline activity catalysts 127chloroquinolin4ylaminoethylthiourea, 127chloroquinolin4ylaminoethylthiourea chloroquinolinylaminoethylthiourea amino ethyl thiourea, thiourea 1-(2-((7-chloroquinolin-4-yl)amino)ethyl)thiourea twosteps two steps 7chloroquinolin4ylethane1,2diamine, 7chloroquinolin4ylethane12diamine diamine, (7-chloroquinolin-4-yl)ethane-1,2-diamine 2bromoacetophenones. 2bromoacetophenones bromoacetophenones bromoacetophenones. 2-bromoacetophenones HL60, HL60 HL (HL60 K KASUMI1, KASUMI1 KASUMI 1, KASUMI-1 KG1 KG KG-1 L929, L929 L , (L929) 34,5dimethyl2thiazol2,5diphenyl2Htetrazolium 345dimethyl2thiazol25diphenyl2Htetrazolium dimethylthiazoldiphenylHtetrazolium 3 4,5 dimethyl thiazol 2,5 diphenyl 2H tetrazolium 5 H MTT (MTT assay showed overall profile index K56 1.89 189 89 (1.8 5.50, 550 5.50 50 5.50) 3.51. 351 3.51 . 51 (3.51) BCRABL1 BCRABL BCR ABL1 ABL BCR-ABL enzyme therefore chloroquinolin4ylethane1 2diamine ylethane 12 ylaminoethylthiourea 7chloroquinolin4ylethane1 7chloroquinolin4ylethane1,2diamine HL6 (HL6 KASUMI- KG- L92 (L929 34 5dimethyl2thiazol2 5diphenyl2Htetrazolium Htetrazolium 45 4, 25 2, K5 1.8 18 8 (1. 55 5.5 35 3.5 (3.51 chloroquinolinylethane chloroquinolin4ylethane 7chloroquinolin4ylethane (HL L9 (L92 dimethylthiazol 5dimethyl2thiazol diphenylHtetrazolium 1.

ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of hypertensive disorders during pregnancy among Brazilian women with preterm births and to compare the epidemiological characteristics and perinatal outcomes among preterm births of women with and without hypertension. Methods This was a secondary cross-sectional analysis of the Brazilian Multicenter Study on Preterm Birth. During the study period, all women with preterm births were included and further split into two groups according to the occurrence of any hypertensive disorder during pregnancy. Prevalence ratios were calculated for each variable. Maternal characteristics, prenatal care, and gestational and perinatal outcomes were compared between the two groups using χ2 and t-tests. Results A total of 4,150 women with preterm births were included, and 1,169 (28.2%) were identified as having hypertensive disorders. Advanced maternal age (prevalence ratio (PR) 2.49) and obesity (PR= 2.64) were more common in the hypertensive group. The gestational outcomes were worse in women with hypertension. Early preterm births were also more frequent in women with hypertension. Conclusion Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy were frequent among women with preterm births, and provider-initiated preterm births were the leading causes of premature births in this group. The factors significantly associated with hypertensive disorders among women with preterm births were obesity, excessive weight gain, and higher maternal age. hypertension crosssectional cross sectional Birth period variable care χ ttests. ttests t tests. tests t-tests 4150 4 150 4,15 1169 1 169 1,16 28.2% 282 28 2 (28.2% PR (PR 2.49 249 49 PR= 2.64 264 64 group providerinitiated provider initiated gain 415 15 4,1 116 16 1,1 28.2 (28.2 2.4 24 2.6 26 6 41 4, 11 1, 28.

ABSTRACT Objective: Despite a favorable prognosis, some patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) develop recurrence. The objective of this study was to examine the impact of the combination of initial American Thyroid Association (ATA) risk stratification with serum level of postoperative stimulated thyroglobulin (s-Tg) in predicting recurrence in patients with PTC and compare the results with an assessment of response to initial therapy (dynamic risk stratification). Subjects and methods: We retrospectively analyzed 1,611 patients who had undergone total thyroidectomy for PTC, followed in most cases (87.3%) by radioactive iodine (RAI) administration. Clinicopathological features and s-Tg levels obtained 3 months postoperatively were evaluated. The patients were stratified according to ATA risk categories. Nonstimulated thyroglobulin levels and imaging studies obtained during the first year of follow-up were used to restage the patients based on response to initial therapy. Results: After a mean follow-up of 61.5 months (range 12-246 months), tumor recurrence was diagnosed in 99 (6.1%) patients. According to ATA risk, recurrence was identified in 2.3% of the low-risk, 9% of the intermediate-risk, and 25% of the high-risk patients (p < 0.001). Using a receiver operating characteristic curve approach, a postoperative s-Tg level of 10 ng/mL emerged as the ideal cutoff value, with positive and negative predictive values of 24% and 97.8%, respectively (p < 0.001). Patients with low to intermediate ATA risk with postoperative s-Tg levels < 10 ng/mL and excellent response to treatment had a very low recurrence rate (<0.8%). In contrast, higher recurrence rates were observed in intermediate-risk to high-risk patients with postoperative s-Tg ≥ 10 ng/mL and indeterminate response (25%) and in those with incomplete response regardless of ATA category or postoperative s-Tg value (38.5-87.5%). Using proportion of variance explained (PVE), the predicted recurrence using the ATA initial risk assessment alone was 12.7% and increased to 29.9% when postoperative s-Tg was added to the logistic regression model and 49.1% with dynamic risk stratification. Conclusions: The combination of ATA staging system and postoperative s-Tg can better predict the risk of PTC recurrence. Initial risk estimates can be refined based on dynamic risk assessment following response to therapy, thus providing a useful guide for follow-up recommendations.

ABSTRACT The study aimed to explore factors that influence the adoption of information technology value metrics in Brazilian organizations, using a non-probabilistic sample of 28 medium and large companies, based on the assumptions of the Neo-Institutional Theory (isomorphism) and the impacts resulting from digital transformation. We used sixteen closed questions plus one open question survey, created from research conducted by large consulting companies and international research institutes, in addition to the very foundations of Neo-Institutional Theory. The data and results achieved allowed us to reach the following findings: (i) prevalence of mimetic isomorphism; (ii) the legitimization of Information Technology as a motivator for communicating the value generated; (iii) the importance attributed to operation and support metrics; (iv) the exchange of experience between peers overlaps with the search for academic sources or scientific research, characterizing normative isomorphism; and (v) the denial of the impacts of digital transformation on the way of measuring the value of information technology. organizations nonprobabilistic non probabilistic 2 NeoInstitutional Neo Institutional isomorphism (isomorphism survey institutes findings i (i ii (ii generated iii (iii iv (iv v (v
