Description
de Arruda's team rendered the COSMIN reporting guide for outcome-measure studies into Brazilian Portuguese. The guide helps teams report how well patient surveys measure. Both the checklist and its long explainer text were rendered. A four-step method mixed AI drafting, back-checking, and developer review.
The AI draft used rare terms that editors swapped for plain Brazilian ones. The back-check surfaced only minor gaps, none changing the meaning. Experts polished grammar and word choice throughout. Both texts now sit on the COSMIN website for free use. The work opens the guide to Portuguese-speaking research groups.
