Case history review / Anamnesis

"The medical history or anamnesis of a patient is information gained by a physician by asking specific questions..."
Phrasing can vary. Am actually not sure whether they mean systematic or systemic but there you go.

Going by Roxanna's input, they do in fact mean "systemic". However, I believe it is unnecessary to state this as it is part and parcel of the definition of anamnesis. So my suggestion stands as is.

Según Navarro, en español no debería usarse la traducción literal "revisión de sistemas", sino "anamnesis por aparatos" o "anamnesis sistemática". Por lo visto, en tu documento quisieron hacer una mezcla de los dos.

My translation is not a word-by-word translation. It is in fact the name of that verys specific part of the medical history. Anamnesis and case review history refer to the complete medical history.

Parts of the Medical History
Chiefly History in the Past tells your Family Social Review
CC - Chief Complaint - quote patient x duration
HPI – History of the Present Illness with “LOCATES”
PMH – Past Medical History with “A History”
FH – Family History with Genetics and household contact
SH – Social History with the “Flames”
ROS – Review of Systems

Begin in the present with the client’s current medical problems. Be sure to inquire about any medications they are taking. Ask about their social history, including their occupation, if they smoke, how much alcohol they drink, and if they use any illicit drugs. Although these may be sensitive questions, it can help to get a better understanding of an individual’s physical abilities when you learn how well they take care of their body. Then touch on their family’s medical history. Finally, go through a thorough Review of Systems (ROS) to see if there is anything that either of you may have missed. A ROS consists of asking general questions about major organ systems, and symptoms or problems within that system. This is best organized from head to toe. For example, ask about headaches or dizziness, blurry vision, recent changes in vision, etc.

The medical history or anamnesis[1][2] (abbr. Hx) of a patient is information gained by a physician by asking specific questions, either of the patient or of other people who know the person and can give suitable information (in this case, it is sometimes called heteroanamnesis), with the aim of obtaining information useful in formulating a diagnosis and providing medical care to the patient.
A practitioner typically asks questions to obtain the following information about the patient:
Identification and demographics: name, age, height, weight.
The "chief complaint (CC)" - the major health problem or concern, and its time course (e.g. chest pain for past 4 hours).
History of the present illness (HPI) - details about the complaints, enumerated in the CC. (Also often called 'History of presenting complaint' or HPC.)
Past Medical History (PMH) (including major illnesses, any previous surgery/operations, any current ongoing illness, e.g. diabetes).
Review of systems (ROS) Systematic questioning about different organ systems
Family diseases - especially those relevant to the patient's chief complaint.
Childhood diseases - this is very important in pediatrics.
Social history (medicine) - including living arrangements, occupation, marital status, number of children, drug use (including tobacco, alcohol, other recreational drug use), recent foreign travel, and exposure to environmental pathogens through recreational activities or pets.
Regular and acute medications (including those prescribed by doctors, and others obtained over-the-counter or alternative medicine)
Allergies - to medications, food, latex, and other environmental factors
Sexual history, obstetric/gynecological history, and so on, as appropriate.

As you can see in my last link, "anamnesis" is the complete medical history. In your context, you have a list of the different parts of such medical history, being one of them the ROS. I should know since I took many medical histories back in the day (not that I am that old now but I do not practice medicine anymore).

Thanks Emma
agree Lucrecia Pons : Sí, así es. En Argentina utilizamos con mayor frecuencia el término "Anamnesis por sistemas".

Gracias, Lucrecia. Si mal no recuerdo, creo que en Rep. Dom. decíamos "revisión por sistemas" seguramente porque tenemos mucha influencia de los EE. UU. y del inglés.

Thanks, Liz.
neutral neilmac : Simply because this sounds like something from an IT context, I prefer my own suggestion. Am disappointed at the lack of agreement from Liz and Emma on this as I respect their experience in medical.

Sorry that you don't respect mine since I happen to be a medical doctor, so besides my own knowledge, I get the term from my medical books.

Reference:

typo: amnésica=anamnésica

I believe this to be a typo, since the list seems to be enumerating the different procedures to be followed, which includes a medical history.
I think it might refer to the particular system involved (revisión del sistema respiratorio, circulatorio, etc).

Another possibility is that this is a shorter form for "Revisión anamnésica por aparatos y sistemas".

Hope this helps!
