Abstract

Objective: To carry out the translation and transcultural adaptation of the gastrointestinal symptoms component (GIS) of the CTCAE scale version 4.02, in outpatient patients treated with chemotherapy at the National Institute of Cancerology in Bogotá.

Methods: A manual search was performed on electronic media, scales in English or Spanish languages, which will evaluate the presence and intensity of GIS in oncological patients. The selection of the items was made by an informal consensus of a technical committee, which verified the concordance between the main GIS described in the literature and those included in the scale, all of which could affect the nutritional status. For transcultural adaptation, the steps and recommendations of the ISPOR Handbook and the EORTC quality of life group were followed. The pilot test was conducted in 25 patients selected for convenience, who met the inclusion criteria.

Results: 52% were men; the average age was 54.2 years (+/-15.3 years). The most frequent cancers were colorectal (28%), stomach (16%) and breast (12%). The 14 SGI included in the scale were experienced by all patients, so they were retained, and no other addition was required. The average time of application of the instrument was 5 minutes and 90% of the participants considered it appropriate.

Conclusions: A 14-item instrument was generated to measure GIS in cancer patients undergoing outpatient chemotherapy, which is fast-applied and uses language that is easy to understand for the patient. Their clinimetrics properties remain to be defined.
