Summary
The Brazilian Portuguese Rhinoplasty Outcome Evaluation (ROE) questionnaire was validated to assess patient satisfaction after nasal surgery. A cutoff score of 12 demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity for distinguishing between patients and controls.
Area of Science:
- Plastic Surgery
- Patient-Reported Outcomes
- Health Outcomes Research
Background:
- The Rhinoplasty Outcome Evaluation (ROE) is a valuable tool for assessing patient satisfaction post-rhinoplasty.
- Normal values for the ROE questionnaire are currently unknown, limiting its application in specific populations.
- Cross-cultural adaptation is essential for utilizing patient-reported outcome measures in diverse linguistic contexts.
Purpose of the Study:
- To translate and culturally adapt the ROE questionnaire into Brazilian Portuguese.
- To establish normative parameters for the Brazilian Portuguese version of the ROE.
- To determine sensitivity and specificity cutoffs for the adapted questionnaire.
Main Methods:
- A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 62 patients undergoing rhinoplasty or septorhinoplasty (Cases).
- 100 healthy volunteers with no history or desire for nasal surgery served as Controls.
- The Brazilian Portuguese ROE was administered to both groups to establish normative data and evaluate cutoffs.
Main Results:
- Patients awaiting rhinoplasty reported significantly lower mean ROE scores (6.6/24) compared to controls (17.94/24).
- The optimal cutoff score of 12 (50%) was identified, demonstrating 95.16% sensitivity and 95% specificity.
- These findings suggest the Brazilian Portuguese ROE effectively differentiates patient satisfaction levels.
Conclusions:
- The Brazilian Portuguese version of the ROE questionnaire is a reliable tool for assessing rhinoplasty outcomes.
- A cutoff score of 12 on the 0-24 scale provides a robust threshold for evaluating patient satisfaction.
- This validated instrument and its normative data will aid in clinical practice and research in Brazil.

01:11Guidelines for Writing Outcome
When developing expected outcomes for a patient care plan, the nurse should adhere to the following recommendations:
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care evaluation by...

01:30Assessment of Airway, Skin Color, and Use of Accessory Muscles
A thorough assessment of respiratory health is paramount in clinical settings to identify and manage respiratory distress and ensure adequate oxygenation. This article elaborates on the critical aspects of respiratory evaluation, including airway assessment, skin color examination, and the observation of accessory muscle use, which are integral to effectively diagnosing and managing patients with respiratory conditions.

01:23Assessment of Respiration
The respiratory system's basic structures and primary functions lay the foundation for nurses' comprehensive respiratory assessments. This assessment includes subjective and objective data to gauge the patient's respiratory health.
Subjective Assessment: Nurses interview the patient to gather information directly during the subjective assessment. It includes questions about the individual's medical history, medications, and symptoms, focusing on past respiratory conditions like asthma or COPD,...

Assessment of Ventilation
A Ventilation assessment is critical for monitoring a patient's health status. Respiration, one of the most accessible vital signs, provides insights into the function of numerous body systems and can indicate serious health issues, such as brainstem injuries from head trauma.
