Spanish term

laboratorios de estratificación

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) inpatient progress report - treatment plan
This is from a report on a patient with respiratory problems, urinary tract infection uncontrolled by antibiotics, possible Covid infection, acute kidney infection, congestive heart failure ... the presenting problem was described as "dyspnea".

I don't know what "laboratorios de estraficación" are ... I don't understand what they are for and what they measure. Can I just translate this as "stratification tests"?

The sentence from which this comes says: Plan de seguimiento: VE01, PCR urgente, GA FIO2 21%, laboratorios de estratificación, examen general de orina + urocultivo ... etc.

Thanks again for your help.

Discussion

María M. Hernández S. Sep 16, 2022:
Concuerdo con Neil. Ya que laboratorios está en plural, creo que podría referirse a análisis de laboratorio para determinar el grado o estadio de la enfermedad
Neil Ashby Sep 16, 2022:
All those tests for shortness of breath... does the text not mention a suspected diagnosis?
Could it be a mistake for "estadificación"? Staging tests/scores? (again would one expect a suspected diagnosis or indication of cancer or some other disease that is staged, CKD, liver disease, etc.)

stratification analyses

I think this is referring to the classification of the patient according to the presence of what are called biomarkers and other biological data that reveal his risk group/symptomatic severity.

This is done using a technique of "stratification", which is a kind of data analysis in the field of epidemiology.

Here's a definition of "estratificación": "La estratificación, también conocida como segmentación de datos, se define como la acción de ordenar datos, personas y objetos en distintos grupos o estratos. Cuando los datos provenientes de varias fuentes o categorías se presentan de manera desordenada o mezclada, interpretarlos se hace mucho más complejo."

Also see: "Son numerosos los estudios que tratan de encontrar nuevos biomarcadores útiles para la estratificación del riesgo de los pacientes infectados por SARS-CoV-2."

Here's a definition of the target-text translation in English: "Stratification is defined as the act of sorting data, people, and objects into distinct groups or layers. It is a technique used in combination with other data analysis tools. When data from a variety of sources or categories have been lumped together, the meaning of the data can be difficult to see"

Also this: "Stratification analyses have been widely utilized in molecular association meta-analyses to estimate the interaction between genetic and environmental factors or to control for the confounding variables linked to a disease."
Example sentence:
