Cross-Cultural Adaptation of the Vancouver Scar Scale - Baryza Version to Brazilian Portuguese
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Objective: To perform the cross-cultural adaptation of the Vancouver Scar Scale -Baryza Version to the Brazilian population with burns.Method: Methodological study carried out in seven steps: 1) translation of the original scale into two versions; 2) summary of translations; 3) evaluation by expert committee; 4) back translation in two versions; 5) summary of back translations; 6) comparison with the original scale; and 7) semantic validation.The 18 participants were invited by email based on strict criteria determined for each stage.Results: The steps culminated in an instrument which did not need any modifications according to the original author of the scale, which was then subjected to semantic analysis, which caused difficulties in translation especially in relation to the vascularization and pigmentation items, but the evaluators rated the overall impression as good and very important for the condition. Conclusion:The preliminary version derived from the methodological pathway presents adequate semantic validity and the instrument proves to be suitable for future studies, pretesting and evaluation of its psychometric properties.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
