telefpro Jun 22, 2009:
my view I think that one could say 'subject to receive treatment with....
Subject to= almost like tributaria, I suppose.
Alvaro Aliaga Jun 19, 2009:
Different ways to put this Both Maria and Yasser are correct.
Maria Mastruzzo Jun 19, 2009:
If you google the terms "paciente tributario" you will find many examples of the use in "Spanish, which I have interpreted as "patients eligible for ...". Hope it helps!
Yasser El Helw Jun 19, 2009:
Hi Leslie. I just want you to know that I have often seen "tributaria" used in the context of "candidate for". I haven't paid much attention to your context and the suitability of "candidate for" in your text.
Lesley Jackson (X) (asker) Jun 19, 2009:
"Candidate for" does seem intuitive... but if that's correct, I'd like to hear someone's explanation for the use of "tributaria" here. Is this a common idiomatic expression? I haven't seen it before. I keep thinking that he cannot afford the temo and so he will have no choice but to accept this other drug (which is cheaper? or free on some program?). Tributaria does have the idea of being obligated/compelled (as in taxes!), and I think telefpro might be on the right track. Thanks. LJ

patient may be eligible to receive treatment ...

That seems to be the meaning in that context.

All these cases were excluded. If no delay had occurred, an additional 44 patients (17%) could have been offered thrombolytic therapy. This potential loss of treatable patients was due to patient and doctor delay in 39 and 2 patients, respectively, and to other reasons in 3 patients. Conclusion: Up to 24% of stroke patients are eligible for thrombolytic treatment if delay is avoided. As delays are mainly caused by patients themselves, the results of this study underline the need for campaigns to improve the public's awareness of stroke symptoms as well as the awareness that stroke is an emergency situation.
