peer agreement (net): +2causa de consulta > reason for consultation Explanation: It's not a no brainer for me, and I'm not sure, but you would expect to see "motivo de consulta" (at least in Spain) at around this point, and it could be "causa de consulta" as a variant of that. "Ejemplo Historia Clinica Pediatrica [...] Motivo de consulta Diarrea Enfermedad actual Cuadro clínico de aproximadamente 6 dias de evolución [...]" https://www.monografias.com/docs/Ejemplo-Historia-Clinica-Pe... http://www.chp.edu/-/media/chp/healthcare-professionals/docu... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 35 mins (2019-05-06 17:26:12 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I should have posted my additional reference here rather than in the discussion area. "Causa de consulta" instead of "motivo de consulta" is relatively unusual, but examples can be found, and here is one on a form from Colombia: ""I. Datos Básicos Usuario [...] II. Causa de Consulta y Enfermedad Actual [...]" http://solidaridad.coomeva.com.co/descargar.php?id=1054 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 22 hrs (2019-05-07 15:17:49 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "Chief complaint" (for the US) and "presenting problem" or "presenting complaint" (for the UK) seem to be more common synonyms of "reason for consultation". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 days (2019-05-11 12:53:00 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Thank you, Giovanni! Particularly for clarifying the preferred term. I've put "chief complaint" in the glossary, as the US standard, and have added "presenting complaint / problem", which is the European and Canadian equivalent. |
