Medical - Medical (general) / dementia in cancer patients
Spanish term or phrase: el momento evolutivo
Dear colleagues,
I would appreciate any suggestions for this phrase:

La tasa varía según el tipo de recurso hospitalario que se considere y el momento evolutivo en el que se estudie a los enfermos (24-26).

Thank you!


the current translation is "evolutionary time", but this doesn't convince me.

English translation:stage in the progression
Explanation:
"Evolución" is often progress or clinical course, so how about progression?

Here's one link, chosen at random:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1283961/

These results led us to the proposal that the stability of the memory complex depends on a delay at one stage in the progression from cell membrane to lysosome, rather than on a continuous slow progression throughout.

Stages of Dementia vs. Scales for Rating Dementia

Stages of Dementia: 3 stages
-- mild (or “early”), moderate (or “middle”), and severe (or “late”)

GDS, Global Deterioration Scale (GDS), Reisberg Scale, “Global Deterioration Scale for Assessment of Primary Degenerative Dementia”: seven stages
-- amount of cognitive decline

* Cancer and dementia *

The cancer treatment offered to the person you care for will depend on their individual situation. But it will also depend on the stage of the dementia.

Stages of Alzheimer’s & Dementia: Durations & Scales Used to Measure Progression (GDS, FAST & CDR)
Stages of Dementia

Health professionals often discuss dementia in “stages,” which refers to how far a person’s dementia or Alzheimer’s disease has progressed. Defining the stage helps physicians determine best treatments and aids communication between doctors and caregivers. Dementia is usually considered as * three stages: mild (or “early”), moderate (or “middle”), and severe (or “late”). * A more specific stage of dementia, however, is commonly assigned based on symptoms.
Scales for Rating Dementia
Rather than simply using “early stage,” “middle-stage,” and “late-stage” dementia as descriptors, there are scales that provide a more comprehensive description. These scales help better understand the different stages of Alzheimer’s disease based on how well a person thinks (cognitive decline) and functions (physical abilities). These scales are the Global Deterioration Scale for Assessment of Primary Degenerative Dementia, the Functional Assessment Staging Test, and the Clinical Dementia Rating
Global Deterioration Scale / Reisberg Scale

The most commonly used scale is often referred to simply as GDS, or by its more formal name, the Reisberg Scale (or by the lengthy name “Global Deterioration Scale for Assessment of Primary Degenerative Dementia”). The GDS divides into seven stages based on the amount of cognitive decline. This test is most relevant for people who have Alzheimer’s disease because some other types of dementia (i.e. Frontotemporal dementia) do not always include memory loss.

agree  Barbara Cochran, MFA: Makes perfect sense to me.

  -> thanks Barbara

agree  neilmac: I tend to keep "evolu-" words for Darwin etc., instead of just "development", but this usage is rife in Spanish texts nowadays.

agree  neilmac: "Evolución"as progress/clinical course/development is widespread these days. My hackles rise when I see it translated as "evolution" :-)
