Concurrently, there has been a substantial increase in the use of the internet, including search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and Bing, as well as Artificial Intelligence (AI) platforms, raising concerns about the credibility and reliability of the health-related information accessed through these sources. In this context, the present study aimed to analyze the quality and reliability of information available on the Google search engine and popular AI systems, using evidence-based practice as the gold standard for the treatment of CLBP. This was an observational, descriptive, and comparative study of digital content sources, with data collection conducted through validated community prompts. The findings indicate partial alignment between recommendations provided by conventional websites and AI systems and those supported by the scientific literature, particularly regarding isolated interventions such as therapeutic exercises, walking, yoga, Pilates, and stretching. However, these recommendations are generally presented in a simplified and non-specific manner, lacking clinical depth and contextualization. The results highlight the need for improved alignment between digital health content and current evidence-based guidelines. It is concluded that information obtained from conventional websites and artificial intelligence platforms has limitations in terms of reliability and quality when compared to evidence-based practice and should therefore be used cautiously and critically as a complementary resource, as it cannot address individual patient needs nor replace personalized therapeutic prescription on CLBP. 2026-01-19T00:00:00Z https://ri.ufs.br/jspui/handle/riufs/25695 Título: Determinantes sociais e a ocorrência da via de parto no Brasil: uma análise de dados do DATASUS Autor(es): Pereira, Jeane Vidal; Monteiro, Maria Eduarda de Oliveira Abstract: Introduction: Social determinants of health (SDH) constitute essential factors for understanding the individual's health-disease process, directly influencing the Brazilian obstetric scenario, currently characterized by a culture of medicalization and cesarean section rates that widely exceed the World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations. Objective: To analyze the influence of social, economic, and demographic determinants on the occurrence of the mode of delivery in Brazil. Method: This is a descriptive epidemiological analysis with a quantitative approach, carried out using secondary data obtained from the Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System (DATASUS), consisting of a temporal, regional, and factorial analysis from 2013 to 2023. Results: The results showed that in all years the number of cesarean deliveries (56.70%) was higher than vaginal deliveries. In the statistical analysis, there was a significant association (p=0.001) between the variable delivery type and race, maternal education, maternal age, number of prenatal visits, marital status, and region of residence. Conclusion: It is concluded, therefore, that there is an important relationship between social determinants and the occurrence of delivery modes in Brazil, with these factors being strongly associated with sociodemographic conditions, cultural factors, and the health service provided. Furthermore, it was possible to affirm the prevalence of cesarean delivery in the SUS during the 10 years recorded in the study. 2026-02-12T00:00:00Z https://ri.ufs.br/jspui/handle/riufs/25678 Título: Impacto da dor na funcionalidade em mulheres pós-cesariana em uma maternidade de Lagarto/SE Autor(es): Sousa, Emilly Costa de; Chagas, Victória Santos Abstract: Introduction: The postpartum period is characterized as a time when the woman’s body returns to its pre-pregnancy state, during which intrinsic and extrinsic changes occur, making it a phase that requires continuous care and protection. In cesarean postpartum, pain is a frequent symptom and may negatively impact functionality and the performance of activities of daily living, reinforcing the importance of physiotherapeutic care during this period. Objective: To identify the impact of pain on the functional characteristics of women in the cesarean postpartum period in the city of Lagarto, Sergipe, Brazil. Method: This is a cross-sectional observational study conducted in a maternity hospital in the municipality of Lagarto/SE, involving puerperal women who underwent cesarean delivery. Data were collected on pain intensity using the Numeric Rating Scale, functional limitations, and satisfaction with physiotherapy care. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software, applying descriptive analyses, association tests, and the Wilcoxon test, with a significance level set at p ≤ 0.05. Results: The sample consisted of 161 puerperal women, with a higher prevalence of moderate (4–6) to severe (7–10) pain during movement and mild pain (0–3) at rest. The main functional limitations observed were related to standing up, sitting, and walking. A significant association was found between higher pain intensity and functional limitation, especially regarding standing up and bowel movements. Despite the use of analgesics, pain persisted and significantly impacted functionality, particularly during movement. Physiotherapy care showed high maternal satisfaction, with approval reported by all participants. Conclusion: Pain significantly impacts the functionality of women in the cesarean postpartum period, especially during movement, interfering with the performance of basic activities. Physiotherapy proved to be essential in puerperal care, contributing to pain management, functional improvement, and high maternal satisfaction, reinforcing the importance of its inclusion in maternity settings. 2026-01-20T00:00:00Z https://ri.ufs.br/jspui/handle/riufs/25676 Título: Fatores de risco associados à Síndrome pós terapia intensiva: um estudo de coorte Autor(es): Rocha, Dayane Karem; Silva, Kaline Gabriele Nascimento Abstract: Introduction: Technological and organizational advancements in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) have extended the survival of critically ill patients. Nevertheless, many survivors experience physical, cognitive, and psychological impairments after discharge, characterizing Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS), which has lasting repercussions on quality of life. Objective: To identify the risk factors associated with post-intensive care syndrome. Method: This is a prospective cohort study conducted in an adult intensive care unit, including patients aged ≥ 18 years following ICU discharge. Participants were followed through telephone interviews at one and three months post-discharge. Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) was defined by the presence of impairments in physical, psychological, and cognitive domains, assessed using validated instruments: the Katz Index and the Lawton-Brody Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) scale (physical domain), PHQ-9 and GAD-7 (psychological domain), and the SPMSQ (cognitive domain). Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 20.0, employing binary logistic regression to estimate odds ratios, with a significance level of 5%. Results: PICS showed a high prevalence in the physical domain, affecting 73.5% of patients in the first month and 75.8% in the third month after ICU discharge, being associated with age ≥ 60 years and reduced mobility only in the initial assessment. In the psychological domain, the prevalence was 52.2% in the first month and 58.1% in the third month; absence of previous trauma and absence of neoplasia were identified as risk factors in the first month. Cognitive impairment was present in 38.5% of patients in the first month, decreasing to 25.8% at three months, with the absence of previous trauma in the initial assessment identified as a risk factor. Conclusion: It is concluded that age ≥ 60 years and reduced mobility upon ICU admission were associated with a higher risk of developing PICS, especially in the physical domain, highlighting the influence of aging and prior functional impairment. In the psychological and cognitive domains, the absence of previous trauma and, in the psychological domain, the absence of neoplasia were associated with a higher occurrence of the syndrome, suggesting that the ICU hospitalization experience itself is a relevant factor. The identification of these factors contributes to the recognition of patients at risk. 2026-02-12T00:00:00Z
