It is a muggy February morning, 2040, and Myra is ascending the new rock wall at the climbing gym. Her hands strain to hold on as the ledge she is gripping slips between her fingers. Myra falls. In a sore pile on the floor, she thinks, “That’s enough for today,” as she looks at her hands and notices a stream of blood. The blood is easily washed away, but over the next few days, the cut reddens, swells, and becomes sore. An infection begins to set in.

You wake up one morning feeling off. You might have a headache, sniffles, or feel the need to take your temperature. The next questions that might pop into your head are “what do I have?” and “is it serious?” These two questions are loosely related to two key aspects of medicine that have a long history: diagnosis (identifying a disorder) and prognosis (imaging what the course of illness will look like). Answering either question incorrectly can have serious consequences.

Cross-cultural adaptation and its impact on research in emergency care AbstractThe perspective of patients is increasingly recognised as important to care improvement and innovation. Patient questionnaires such as patient-reported outcome measures may often require cross-cultural adaptation (CCA) to gather their intended information most effectively when used in cultures and languages different to those in which they were developed.
