English term or phrase: Baseline administration
This is the subtitle of the form "Service utilization questionnaire" where patients have to complete information regarding the reason for their admission in hospital, the number of days they were hospitalized, etc.

What would be the translation for "baseline administration"?

Thanks for your help.

Primera evaluación


Explanation:
Hola, Mirta,

Por la información que das creo que se trata de los mismos cuestionarios que he traducido antes. Primero le pasan al paciente o encuestado un cuestionario con su respectivo título y debajo está la línea "Baseline" la cual he traducido como "Primera evaluación". Luego sigue otro cuestionario similar con el mismo título pero es para otra etapa del control que podría ser por ejemplo, "Since last visit" que he traducido como "Desde la última visita".... Me parece que podría tratarse de lo mismo.

Saludos ;)

A baseline in medicine is information found at the beginning of a study or other initial known value which is used for comparison with later data. The concept of a baseline is essential to the daily practice of medicine in order to establish a relative rather than absolute meaning to data.
The meaning of baseline in medicine is very similar to that of the running baseline (baseball) being the direct path that a baserunner is taking to the base he is in route to. If the baserunner is outside the 3 foot margin around his running baseline, then he is considered out.
Whereas if a patient with kidney failure (whose creatinine is usually 3.0 mg/dL) suddenly has a creatinine of 5.0 mg/dL, then his creatinine is out of his normal. For that person with kidney failure, absolute normal no longer applies because he will never again be able to obtain an absolutely normal creatinine level (0.5-1.2 mg/dL) with kidneys that no longer function properly.
