Italian term
asbestosi nella misura del 23%
Italian to English
Medical
Medical (general)
asbestosis
Comes from a legal pleading. A worker who was exposed to asbestos now claims to suffer from asbestosis "nella misura del 23%". What would be the accepted medical term for expressing the 23%: "23% asbestosis", "asbestosis of a 23% degree" or something else?

I am not a expert in medicine, so you should consult other people, but I have some translation experience in this field. There are several very closely related usages, all with the terms "impairment + percent". Some also use "impairment rating + percent" :
"...a 10 percent permanent impairment of each lung..."
http://www.dol.gov/ecab/cases/2001/Aug/01-0077.htm
"...claimant had a 70 percent lung impairment from pulmonary asbestosis alone..."
www.dol.gov/brb/cases/lngshore/unpublished/Janjun93/91-1800...
There are some 190 similar usage examples on the dol.gov site
Also:
"...if Winn had only the work-related asbestosis, his impairment rating would be at least ten percent less..."
http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/cgi-bin/getcase.pl?court=4th&n...
"...Dr. Reid's assessment that claimant's 25 percent impairment due to asbestosis..."
www.labor.gov/brb/cases/lngshore/published/00-0370.htm
"...claimant was diagnosed as suffering from a twenty-five percent impairment due to asbestosis..."
