          Abstract

          Objective:

          This study aimed to identify methodological aspects involved in determining anthropometric measurements among studies assessing the nutritional status of individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF).

          Methods:

          A search of the literature was performed on MEDLINE via Pubmed, Embase, and Web of Science databases. The population comprised children and adolescents with CF. Observational studies and clinical trials using anthropometric and body composition measures and indices determined by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and bioelectrical impedance assessment (BIA) were included. Use of a standardized procedure for data collection was defined when details on the instruments and their calibration were given, the measuring procedures were described, and when it was clear measures had been determined by a trained team, or the use of an anthropometric reference manual was cited. Data extracted were expressed as absolute and relative frequencies.

          Results:

          A total of 32 articles were included, and a total of 233 measures or indices were observed. The most frequently used measures were body mass index (kg/m 2; 35%), weight (kg; 33%), and height (cm; 33%). Among the 28 studies that used anthropometric measures, 21 (75%) provided a complete or partial description of the measurement instruments used, 3 (11%) reported information on equipment calibration, 10 (36%) indicated the measurement procedures employed by assessors, and 2 (7%) stated a trained team had carried out the measurements.

          Conclusions:

          The poor description of measuring procedures precluded a meaningful evaluation of data quality. Scientific debate on this theme can help raise awareness of the need to ensure quality in collecting and fully presenting data.

          Resumo

          Objetivo:

          Identificar os aspectos metodológicos relacionados à aferição de medidas antropométricas em pesquisas que avaliaram o estado nutricional de indivíduos com fibrose cística (FC).

          Métodos:

          Realizou-se busca nas bases Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE) via United States National Library of Medicine (PubMed), Embase e Web of Science. A população foi composta de crianças e adolescentes com FC. Foram incluídos estudos observacionais e ensaios clínicos que utilizaram medidas e índices antropométricos ou dados de composição corporal obtidos pela dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) e bioimpedância elétrica (BIA). Considerou-se o uso de procedimento padronizado na coleta dos dados quando o estudo apresentou informações sobre os instrumentos, a calibração dos equipamentos, os detalhes dos procedimentos de mensuração e a realização de treinamento. Foram apresentadas as frequências absolutas e relativas dos dados extraídos.

          Resultados:

          Trinta e dois artigos foram selecionados, sendo observadas 233 medidas ou índices. Desse total, os mais utilizados foram índice de massa corporal (kg/m 2; 35%), peso corporal (kg; 33%) e altura (cm; 33%). De 28 estudos que utilizaram medidas antropométricas, 21 (75%) apresentaram detalhes totais ou parciais dos instrumentos utilizados nas aferições, três (11%) apresentaram informações sobre a calibração dos equipamentos, dez (36%) apresentaram a indicação dos procedimentos de mensuração utilizados pelos avaliadores e dois (7%) mencionaram a realização de treinamento da equipe responsável pelas aferições.

          Conclusões:

          Há pouco detalhamento dos procedimentos de mensuração nas publicações, dificultando a avaliação da qualidade dos dados. O debate científico sobre o tema pode contribuir para conscientizar sobre a necessidade de assegurar a qualidade na coleta dos dados e sua apresentação completa nos artigos.

          The feasibility of creating a checklist for the assessment of the methodological quality both of randomised and non-randomised studies of health care interventions.

          To test the feasibility of creating a valid and reliable checklist with the following features: appropriate for assessing both randomised and non-randomised studies; provision of both an overall score for study quality and a profile of scores not only for the quality of reporting, internal validity (bias and confounding) and power, but also for external validity. A pilot version was first developed, based on epidemiological principles, reviews, and existing checklists for randomised studies. Face and content validity were assessed by three experienced reviewers and reliability was determined using two raters assessing 10 randomised and 10 non-randomised studies. Using different raters, the checklist was revised and tested for internal consistency (Kuder-Richardson 20), test-retest and inter-rater reliability (Spearman correlation coefficient and sign rank test; kappa statistics), criterion validity, and respondent burden. The performance of the checklist improved considerably after revision of a pilot version. The Quality Index had high internal consistency (KR-20: 0.89) as did the subscales apart from external validity (KR-20: 0.54). Test-retest (r 0.88) and inter-rater (r 0.75) reliability of the Quality Index were good. Reliability of the subscales varied from good (bias) to poor (external validity). The Quality Index correlated highly with an existing, established instrument for assessing randomised studies (r 0.90). There was little difference between its performance with non-randomised and with randomised studies. Raters took about 20 minutes to assess each paper (range 10 to 45 minutes). This study has shown that it is feasible to develop a checklist that can be used to assess the methodological quality not only of randomised controlled trials but also non-randomised studies. It has also shown that it is possible to produce a checklist that provides a profile of the paper, alerting reviewers to its particular methodological strengths and weaknesses. Further work is required to improve the checklist and the training of raters in the assessment of external validity.

            ESPEN-ESPGHAN-ECFS guidelines on nutrition care for infants, children, and adults with cystic fibrosis.

            Malnutrition is both a frequent feature and a comorbidity of cystic fibrosis (CF), with nutritional status strongly associated with pulmonary function and survival. Nutritional management is therefore standard of care in CF patients. ESPEN, ESPGHAN and ECFS recommended guidelines to cover nutritional management of patients with CF.
