Translation, Cross-Cultural Adaptation, and Validation of the Munro Scale in Italian
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: The Munro Pressure Ulcer Risk Assessment Scale for Perioperative Patients - Adult (Munro scale) is a pressure ulcer/injury risk assessment scale for adult surgical patients. It consists of 3 sections relating to the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative periods. It is not available in Italian. PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to translate the Munro scale into Italian and assess its cross-cultural content and face validity. METHODS: The translation and cross-cultural adaptation process adhered to World Health Organization guidelines including forward translation, expert review, and back translation. Health care professionals with a minimum of 5 years of experience working in the operating rooms of different hospitals in northern Italy were invited to participate in a content and face validation of the translated instrument. Content validity was evaluated by rating the relevance of each scale item using a 4-point Likert scale, ranging from 1 (not relevant) to 4 (very relevant). Face validity (comprehensibility and clarity) was also measured using a 4-point rating scale. RESULTS: Expert agreement of the translated instrument reached a Fleiss' kappa of 0.95. The content validity index was 0.91, and all items had a score ≥ 3 for clarity and comprehensibility. CONCLUSION: The Italian version of the Munro scale can be used safely to assess patient risk of injuries during the perioperative period in Italy. The translation and validation study results confirmed that the Italian version was consistent with the original version. Further testing, including prospective validation, is needed.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
