Medical
German term or phrase: Späterfolge
A medical text about reanimation of people having suffered circulatory standstill.

Die belastende Problematik der Wiederbelebungsmaßnahmen nach Kreislaufstillstand muss auf Grund der SPÄTERFOLGE beurteilt werden.

The only terms I have been able to locate so far are these, which are not exact matches:

Spätergebnis = after-result
Spätfolgen = late sequelae
Erik
after-effects
Explanation:
As resuscitation can come too late, so that the person resuscitated breathes but suffers from some or complete brain damage, this inoccuous sentence tries to veil things in typically medical Fachsprache: "Any adverse problems associated with the resuscitation can only be assessed on the basis of the after-effects."

Explanation:
The context would dictate whether the "Erfolge" are positive or negative, since the word does not only mean success.
