German to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical (general) / Palliative care
German term or phrase: Symptomgeschehen
Es handelt sich um eine Verordnung spezialisierter ambulanter Palliativversorgung. Dabei kommt der Begriff mehrfach vor, u.a. bei
Naehere Beschreibung des komplexen Symptomgeschehens und des besonderen Versorgungsbedarfs zur Begruendung, warum spezialisierte ambulante Palliativversorgung notwendig ist.

Darunter soll der verordnende Doktor dann etwas eintragen.

Und unter der Rubrik "Komplexes Symptomgeschehen" gibt es mehrere Moeglichkeiten, die der Arzt ankreuzen kann, wie "ausgepraegte respiratorisch / kardiale Symptomatik" und "sonstiges komplexes Symptomgeschehen".

Vielleicht nur 'symptoms'? Oder das schon einmal fuer 'Symptombild' vorgeschlagene 'symptom profile'? Trifft es das?

Wie immer, danke fuer Eure Hilfe!

symptom complex
Explanation:
The definition is: "A group of symptoms that occur together and are characteristic of a certain disease, disorder, or condition."

I would probably use both terms, i.e. "symptoms" and "symptom complex".

Thanks to everybody for their inputs. I do think that "Symptomgeschehen" is more than just "symptoms" and I think that "symptom complex" expresses this best.

symptoms


Explanation:
It literally means "occurrence of symptoms", but you can leave out "occurrence of" without affecting the meaning.

complex symptom presentation

Further, evidence for a strong familial aggregation of FM has led researchers to similarly conclude that genetic variation may help explain part of its complex symptom presentation.

All of these potential health risks from gradual iodine deficiency are not directly tied to hypothyroidism, but obviously contribute to the complex symptom presentation in subclinical hypothyroid conditions.

neutral  philgoddard: This is a tautology. Symptoms are presentations.

Explanation:
