Objective: This study aims to carry out the cultural adaptation and the validation of the GOHAI scale for the Colombian population. Methods: Translation process, cultural adaptation, and content and face validity were carried out with a sample of 63 participants as a pretest. The validation counted with a sample of 7,200 subjects, divided into two groups: a work sample (WS) with 3,628 subjects and a confirmatory sample (CS) with 3,572 subjects. Construct, criterion validity and internal consistency were performed for both samples. Test-retest reliability was assessed with a sub-sample of 75 participants Results: The GOHAI showed an appropriate face and content validity, the pre-test revealed an understandable questionnaire, the scale showed a unidimensional factorial structure and a Cronbach’s Alpha of 0.8. Convergent validity with a self-perception on general health scale pointed to a significant correlation ( p = 0.0001), while discriminant validity showed significant differences regarding groups according to age group, skin color, educational level, socio-economic level, healthcare affiliation and self-perception about need of dental prostheses. Gender groups did not show significant differences among groups within either sample. The CS showed similar results, differences existed among factorial structures of 2 and 3 factors, and for discriminant validity, the CS showed statistically significant differences for the Area variable not in the WS. Kendall’s test-retest analysis’s correlation is 0.85 ( p = 0.0000). Conclusions: The GOHAI scale is valid and reliable enough to be used as a measure of Oral-Health-Related Quality of Life in the Colombian elderly population, also could be applied for other Latin-American populations.

Hemos leido con atencion las apreciaciones de Rengifo y cols respecto a nuestra investigacion sobre dengue y etnia. La mayoria de sus observaciones apuntan hacia la clasificacion de etnia en el diseno del estudio; donde reconocemos una gran dificultad para establecer la categoria de afrodescendiente a cada uno de los individuos. Algunas propuestas para clasificar la etnia en poblaciones latinoamericanas con base en pruebas geneticas y biologicas han mostrado un gran mestizaje que dificulta la clasificacion1. El metodo de la auto reconocimiento de la etnia es imperfecto como lo advertimos en la metodologia de nuestro estudio; pero valido para la comunidad cientifica en este momento, mientras se propongan otros metodos eficientes, mas confiables y robustos2, 3.

Abstract Introduction: Cryptococcosis is an opportunistic fungal infection whose etiology is Cryptococcus neofromans / C. gattii, complex which affects immunocompromised patients mainly. Meningeal infection is one of the most common presentations, but cerebellar affection is rare. Case Description: Male patient with 65 old years, from an area of subtropical climate with chronic exposure to poultry, without pathological antecedents, who presented clinical picture consistent with headache, fever, seizures and altered mental status. Clinical findings and diagnostic methods: Initially without menigeal signs or intracranial hypertension and normal neurological examination. Later, the patient developed ataxia, dysdiadochokinesia and limb loss. By lumbar punction and image of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) cerebellitis cryptococcal was diagnosticated. Treatment: Antifungal therapy with amphotericin B and fluconazole was performed, however the patient died. Clinical Relevance: The cryptococcosis has different presentations, it´s a disease whose incidence has been increasing since the advent of the HIV / AIDS pandemy, however the commitment of the encephalic parenchyma and in particular the cerebellum is considered rare. In this way we are facing the first case of cryptococcal cerebellitis in our midst.
