Italian to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical (general) / pediatric patient information code
Italian term or phrase: EPID
This appears at the beginning of a hospitalization report of a 2-year old child (in case the age makes a difference).

This section gives the usual identifying information: Paziente - Codice fiscale - Data di Nascita - .... The acronym EPID appears just after the birth date, and there is no entry following this (possibly deleted to maintain confidentiality) so I don't know what type of information it asks for.

The Hospital is the Azienda Ospedaliera Universitaria Integrata of Verona.

What does this acronym stand for here?

TIA :)

Hi Joseph. I will try to email you one of my own docs from an Italian Hospital with all my data and the treatment I underwent.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you for your answer. Can you please explain why this phrase would appear in the middle of a section of the document that has to do with patient identification information (name, birth date, tax identification number)?
