Spanish term

Responder bien o mal a un tratamiento

Non-PRO Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) Hernia discal lumbar
Buen día a todos. Estoy traduciendo un artículo acerca del tratamiento conservador para una hernia discal lumbar en el que se detallan los criterios que se deben tener en cuenta. En uno de ellos está la expresión "responder especialmente bien o especialmente mal" a un tratamiento. Mi pregunta es si sería "particularly well or particulary bad", o si esto es un calco.

Les dejo el párrafo entero:

"2. Mínimas pérdidas o reducción del número de sujetos: aquellos pacientes que respondan especialmente bien o especialmente mal puede que sean eliminados más fácilmente que otros del estudio. Debe de evitarse estas pérdidas"

Gracias.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
