Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: To perform a cross-cultural adaptation and assess the content validity of the Neonatal Medical Index (NMI) for the Brazilian context.
METHODS: The cross-cultural adaptation was completed in six steps, including translation, synthesis of translations, back translation, submission to an expert committee, testing of the prefinal version, and appraisal by the original author. The expert committee assessed the equivalence between versions based on the percentage of agreement, and content validity was evaluated using the content validity index (CVI) for each item of the scale (I-CVI) and for the overall scale (S-CVI) in terms of representativeness and clarity. Participants of the prefinal version also evaluated the CVI for clarity.
RESULTS: After two evaluation rounds of the expert committee it was attained 98% agreement, attesting to the equivalence between the instrument versions, maximum values for representativeness I-CVI and S-CVI/Ave (1.00), and high values for clarity I-CVI (all items ≥0.97) and S-CVI/Ave (0.98). The expert committee members defined that the Brazilian version of the instrument would be called Índice Clínico Neonatal (NMI-Br). The NMI-Br reached high values of CVI for clarity (all I-CVI ≥0.86 and S-CVI/Ave=0.99) among the participants of the prefinal version.
CONCLUSIONS: The NMI-Br is the Brazilian version of the NMI, obtained in a rigorous cross-cultural validation process, counting with adequate values of content validity.

摘要：
目的：进行跨文化适应并评估巴西环境下新生儿医学指数（NMI）的内容有效性。
方法：跨文化适应分六个步骤完成，包括翻译,翻译的综合，回译,提交给专家委员会，预最终版本的测试，和原作者的评价。专家委员会根据协议的百分比评估版本之间的等效性，使用量表（I-CVI）和总体量表（S-CVI）的每个项目的内容效度指数（CVI），从代表性和清晰度方面评估内容效度。预终版本的参与者还评估了CVI的清晰度。
结果：经过专家委员会的两轮评估，获得了98％的同意，证明仪器版本之间的等效性，代表性I-CVI和S-CVI/Ave的最大值（1.00），和高值的清晰度I-CVI（所有项目≥0.97）和S-CVI/Ave（0.98）。专家委员会成员将该文书的巴西版本定义为“NMI-Br”。在预最终版本的参与者中，NMI-Br达到了较高的CVI值（所有I-CVI≥0.86和S-CVI/Ave=0.99）。
结论：NMI-Br是NMI的巴西版本，在严格的跨文化验证过程中获得，用足够的内容有效性值计数。
