history, antecedent as an adjective


Explanation:
Apparently, the word ´antecedent´ may be used as an adjective in this case:

Present history: when last well, onset and progression of present state, antecedent symptoms such as headaches, seizures, confusio...

edematous lesion but no history of antecedent trauma may still have necrotizing fasciitis.

Most of the dictionaries give 'history' for 'antecedente':
Vox: 4 nombre masculino MEDICINA history.

In English 'antecedent'as a noun is:
LOngman:antecedent noun [countable]

1 formal an event, organization, or thing that is similar to the one you have mentioned but existed earlier: historical antecedents

2 antecedents [plural] formal the people in your family who lived a long time ago ancestors

3 technical a word, phrase, or sentence that is represented by another word, for example a pronoun
— antecendent adjective
(from Cambridge International Dictionary of English)

antecedent
noun [C]
FORMAL
someone or something existing or happening before, esp. as the cause or origin of something existing or happening later

Many Christian festivals have pagan antecedents which stretch back into the distant past.
Some people see the pioneering novelist Dorothy Richardson as an antecedent of the Irish writer James Joyce.
Many people feel a great curiosity to find out about their antecedents.

(specialized) An antecedent is also a word or phrase which a pronoun refers back to.
In the sentence 'Bill ran up to Roz and kissed her', 'Roz' is the antecedent of 'her'.

When the college was established in 1546, it inherited a hall from each of three antecedent institutions.

As you may see, no reference to medical antecedents...
Good luck
