Spanish term

estudio observacional, analítico, longitudinal y prospectivo

Spanish to English Medical Medical: Health Care abstract
Estimados colegas:

Estoy haciendo la traducción de un estudio. En la parte de diseño dice: "Estudio de tipo observacional, analítico, longitudinal y prospectivo".
Sé lo que significa cada uno de los términos y sé cómo se traducen de manera individual. Mi pregunta es ¿es necesario traducir los cuatro adjetivos o alguno de ellos podría quedar implícito y obviarse?
Muchas gracias.

If you have or can find the number of the clinical trial, you should be able to look it up on the web in English.

I agree that all four terms must be translated; none may be omitted.
I don't agree that studies are either prospective or longitudinal. Longitudinal means following a cohort over a period of time. Prospective means that the outcome you are testing for is not present when the cohort is recruited. Longitudinal studies may or may not be prospective; they may alternatively be retrospective, for example. A prospective longitudinal study is one kind of longitudinal study design; therefore the order should be this, and not "longitudinal prospective".

"Analytical" and "observational" are found both ways round, implying that you can see analytical as one kind of observational or observational as one kind of analytical. However, I think the right order is "analytical observational".

thank you!

In answer to your question ... Yes, each term is important. Now that I have examined your question more closely, I see it may be that "estudio" was meant to be plural.

an analytic observational study that is both longitudinal and prospective

All the words have exact cognates in English. The problem is how to arrange them.

The tricky part is that a single study is **either** longitudinal **or** prospective, so I think it's important to emphasize that it is both. Examples of 'both' in similar contexts:

If you are referring to several studies, then the answer would be:

'studies that are analytic, observational, and either longitudinal or prospective'
Note from asker:
it is just one..
Peer comment(s):

neutral philgoddard : No, it should be exactly the same in English as in Spanish. It's not unusal for clinical study titles to have long strings of adjectives separated by commas.

I'm at a loss here, but I found a study which seems to have been translated from portuguese and has been uploaded to the NCBI.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30810630
METHODS: Cohort, analytical, observational, longitudinal and prospective study...

Is this not Ok?
