Translation and Validation of the TOR-BSST © into Brazilian Portuguese for Adults with Stroke
AbstractBrazil has a higher rate of dysphagia in stroke patients compared to developed countries, but does not have a fully validated method for early identification of dysphagia in this population.

Comments on “Short-Term Outcome of Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage in Algarve, Portugal: Retrospective Hospital-Based Study”
We were interested to read the paper by Nzwalo et  al that was published in the Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases in 2018.1 The study was conducted to determine the predictors of 30-day in-hospital spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage mortality in Algarve, the southernmost region of Portugal. It is clear that an interesting study has been conducted, but some methodological issues need to be taken into account.

Response to Commentary on “Short-Term Outcome of Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage in Algarve, Portugal: Retrospective Hospital-Based Study”
We appreciate the correspondence by Safiri and Ashrafi-Asgarabad regarding our article “Short-Term Outcome of Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage in Algarve, Portugal: Retrospective Hospital-Based Study” recently published in Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases.1 It appears as if the methods and objectives of our study were misinterpreted. The main objective was to ide ntify the 30-day in-hospital predictors of death based on demographic, clinical, and radiological variables and for that, multivariate analysis was performed.
