iso-consumo de recursos

Spanish to English Medical Medical: Health Care
El documento que estoy traduciendo es de temática médica aunque se trata de un estudio sobre los costes de la asistencia médica en equipos de atención primaria, en comparación con los americano, mediante la aplicación de los Grupos Clínicos Ajustados, como un posible ajuste de riesgos de pago capitativo.

El documento se encuentra online en:

El problema que tengo es con la palabra "iso-consumo" que no se como traducirla al inglés. "isoconsumption" no creo que exista y ya he buscado sin éxito algo parecido como "similar consumption". Google me encuentra a menudo "clasificación en grupos iso-consumo (case-mix) " pero el término "case-mix" no me sirve en este caso.

la palabra me aparece un par de veces en:
www.msc.es/estadEstudios/publicaciones/recursos_propios/ resp/revista_cdrom/vol80/vol80_1/RS801C_55.pdf

"... cada paciente es asignado a un solo grupo mutuamente excluyente de iso-consumo de recursos."

y en:

"... medir el grado de enfermedad en poblaciones de pacientes basándose en niveles de comorbilidad por iso-consumo de recursos."

no encuentro ninguna traducción a sugeriros.
Se apreciará cualquier ayuda/sugerencia.
pueden responder en español o inglés.

Muchas gracias.

with a similar pattern of resources

I found that "isoconsumer" means having a similar pattern, perhaps this will help you some. None of my searches or dictionaries came up with a good definition or translation but this is a start.
Good luck

ISO is derived from the Greek isos, meaning "equal", which is the root of the prefix "iso-".

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "That's exactly what it is. Google found many articles on the same topic (Health Care and patient classification systems) using "iso-resource groups" to name this concept (which is "a group of patients that consumes the same or similar resources"). "isoresource consumption groups" also appears but only in translated pages and so I think maybe in English it is better to leave out "consumption". So, I'm going with these two. Thank you very much four your help! I really appreciate it. "...each patient is assigned to a single, mutually exclusive iso-resource group." "...to measure the degree of illness in patient populations on the basis of comorbidity levels because of isoresource consumption.""

groups by income level

La palabra isoconsumption aparece en varios sitios; es lo que arroja una búsqueda en Google, pero muchos de ellos son traducidos. Existe uno de Canadá en el que aparece esto:

Sin embargo, me inclinaría más por "groups by income level" que es preciso y bastante utilizado:

isoresource groups (IRGs)

I suppose in English it goes without saying that the resources are consumed.
Here are some examples:

(based on the) same level of consumption

Under "resource consumption," I found that most of the references had to do with broad environmental issues, not consumption of personal resources, so I think it's better to leave out "resources."

553,000 refs for "level of consumption"; 797 for "same level of consumption":

"each patient is assigned to a single, mutually exclusive group based on the same level of consumption"

That is, the morally appropriate level of consumption is one that, ... The question of **a sustainable level of consumption** cannot be answered with great ...
