Aim: To evaluate the satisfaction, preferences and adherence of patients in secondary cardiovascular prevention treated with the CNIC cardiovascular polypill compared with patients treated with the separate monocomponents. Methods: Observational, cross-sectional and multicenter study. Satisfaction was evaluated by the Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication 9 items, adherence by the Morisky-Green questionnaire and ad-hoc questions were asked regarding patient preferences. Results: Polypill patients reported higher satisfaction than patients treated with the monocomponents (77.3 vs 71.2%, p < 0.0001). 72.8% of patients treated with the monocomponents would prefer to change to the polypill. Patients treated with the polypill had significantly higher adherence than patients treated with the monocomponents (57.7 vs 41.1%) (p = 0.0027). Conclusion: Polypill patients show higher satisfaction and better adherence. Most patients receiving the monocomponents would prefer a polypill regime.

Objectives: To analyze the association between the fiber and fluid consumption with constipation in pregnancy.Materials and Methods: An analytic cross-sectional study conducted at Jagir Public Health Center Surabaya, with the samples of healthy pregnant women aged between 20-35 years old (n=99). Respondents were asked to record the amount of daily fluid intake, defecation frequency, and type of faeces, everyday for 7 days, also made a food recall during 24 hours. The recom-mendation of adequate fluid intake in first trimester was 2180 ml/day and 2300 ml/day for second and third trimester. The value of adequate fiber consumption was 25-30 g/day. Constipation diagnosed by the frequency of defecation <2x/week, or based on Bristol Stool Form Scale included as type 1, type 2, or type 3.Results: Pregnant women whose adequate fluid intake was 40,4% and those with adequate fiber intake was 4.1%. The percentage of constipation among them was 29.5%. There was significant association between fluid intake and constipation (p: 0,000; RR:1,85). There was no significant association between fiber intake and constipation p:0,317 (p<0.05). There was also no significant association between parity, gestational age, and level of education with constipation (p<0.05).Conclusion: Inadequate maternal fluid intake can increase the risk of constipation by 1.85 folds, and the adequate fluid intake may prevent constipation during pregnancy.

The Bristol Stool Form Scale is used for describing feces. The objective of this research was its translation, cultural adaptation and validation for Brazil. The methodology was translation, back-translation and discussion. Validation involved 85 nurses, 80 doctors, and 80 patients, who correlated images of seven types of feces with the descriptions. Results: there was a difference in sex distribution, with males predominating among the doctors and females among nurses and patients. In relation to concordance between definitions and pictures, the highest percentage was in type 5 in all three groups and the lowest was in types 6 and 7 for the doctors, in type 3 for the nurses, and type 6 for the patients. The general Kappa index was 0.826. Conclusion: the scale demonstrated high reliability for all the groups studied.
