Abstract
Introduction and objective

The dysfunction of the respiratory system and the breathing complications in persons with injured spinal cord has an effect on the morbidity and the mortality of the disease. The objectives were: (1) to translate to Spanish and validate the questionnaire of international consensus: International Spinal Cord Injury Pulmonary Function Basic Data Set, and (2) to determine the influence of chronic spinal cord injury in the respiratory system in terms of respiratory functionalism.

Materials and method

Translation to Spanish and validation of the questionnaire of international consensus intended for the study of the pulmonary function in spinal cord injury disease. We tested the reliability of that questionnaire. We conducted a descriptive transversal study to determine the degree of involvement of the respiratory system in spinal cord injury.

Results

A percentage of 91.9 did not have any respiratory pathology before spinal cord injury and 54.8% of patients smoked. A percentage of 27.4 of patients presented breathing complications one year after the injury. Results of the respiratory function tests were: FVC 67%, FEV1 72% and PEF 70%. Concordance and reliability were 98%.

Conclusion

The Spanish version of the questionnaire of international consensus about the pulmonary function is a useful tool for the study of the respiratory involvement in spinal cord injury.

Resumen
Introducción y objetivo

La disfunción del sistema respiratorio y las complicaciones respiratorias en la lesión medular repercuten en la morbimortalidad. El objetivo de este trabajo fue: 1) traducir y validar al español el cuestionario de consenso internacional: International Spinal Cord Injury Pulmonary Function Basic Data Set, y 2) determinar la influencia de la lesión medular crónica en el sistema respiratorio, en términos de funcionalismo respiratorio.

Material y método

Traducción y validación al español del cuestionario de consenso internacional de la función pulmonar para la lesión medular. Se realizó un estudio de fiabilidad del cuestionario y un estudio descriptivo transversal para determinar el estado del sistema respiratorio en los lesionados medulares.

Resultados

El 91,9% no presentaban ninguna enfermedad respiratoria antes de la lesión medular. El 54,8% tenían historia tabáquica. El 27,4% presentaron complicaciones respiratorias. Los resultados de pruebas de función respiratoria fueron FVC 67%, FEV1 72% y PEF 70%. En cuanto a la fiabilidad y concordancia, fue del 98%.

Conclusión

El cuestionario de consenso internacional sobre la función pulmonar en su versión española es una herramienta útil para el estudio de la afectación respiratoria en la lesión medular.
