secondary Explanation: I think s/c stands for secundario(s)/a(s). I haven't found a "smoking gun", in the form of a key identifying the abbreviation as having that meaning. Other similar abbreviations used in this field, such as r/c (relacionado con) or m/p (manifestado por), are easier to establish. However, I think it's very likely. It's a plausible way of abbreviating the word, using the first and second consonants, and above all it fits, and explains why it's followed by "a": in the first case, it would mean "Trastorno de la percepción sensorial secundario a lepra". Both s/c and secundaria are used in this document, in very similar ways: "Deterioro funcional s/c a enfermedad cerebral Riesgo de baja autoestima situacional r/c deterioro funcional s/c a enfermedad cerebral Higiene Incapacidad para el movimiento secundaria a lesión cerebral Deterioro de la integridad cutánea Inmovilidad física secundaria a enfermedad cerebral" http://www.slideshare.net/SaritaMontalvanMondragon/ejemplo-d... In your third example, "en s/c a" could mean "en secundario a", perhaps meaning "efecto secundario". |
