Spanish term

anamnesis por aparatos

Spanish to English Medical Medical: Health Care
From a clinical trial, in a section explaing the measures to be taken before including volunteers:

Se tomará la historia clínica que incluirá antecedentes personales y ***anamnesis por aparatos***

Anamnesis is a case history, but what about the "por aparatos" bit?

Many thanks

history [by system(s)]

Hi David,

It would be "history by system(s)", but "by system" is just not used in the US; not sure about the UK/Australia, etc. The "system" bit is sometimes used, however, to refer to the physical exam (see example below).

Good luck,

Elena

Documentation of the Physical Exam is typically **grouped by body system, such as Head, Eyes, Ears, Nose and Throat (often abbreviated "HEENT"), Respiratory, Genito-Urinary, etc.**

por aparatos, i.e. aparato respiratorio, circulatorio, digestivo, etc.

I think that "per system" would be a good choice for this one.
Cheers,
