Ruchira, I have done hundreds of these reports as well.

This one is grammatical:

kraamvisite gb en tzt controle hb en t4', 'St na 48 uur AB bij koorts'.

Kraamvisite geen bijzonderheden en te zijner tijd controle Hb (hemoglobine) en T4 (thyroxine). Start na 48 uur antibiotica bij koorts. :-)

Ik denk dat 'heart rate' niet 100% uitgesloten is, maar er is wat mij betreft te veel onzekerheid.
Sharon Vandermerwe (asker) Sep 14, 2022:
Thank you Phil - that actually makes the most sense at this point! "Prepared lab form and GP's report"
Great! Thanks!
Barend van Zadelhoff Sep 13, 2022:
hartslag --> HF

see for example https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hartslag

Apart from this, 'hartslag' seems unlikely contextually.
Ruchira Raychaudhuri Sep 13, 2022:
'HR' is actually a very common abbreviation for 'hartslag' or 'hartritme' in Dutch (these terms are interchangeable and refer to the pulse/pulserate). There are numerous online sources where you can find this abbreviation.
There is really no such thing as a 'huisartsrapport', this would be a 'made-up' term more or less. Also, the usual abbreviation of 'huisarts' in Dutch is 'ha'.
I have translated quite a few cryptic GP reports like this and they are not very contextually rich or grammatical in any way, e.g. ''kraamvisite gb en tzt controle hb en t4', 'St na 48 uur AB bij koorts'.
@Sharon, why don't you check with your client to clarify your doubts?

It was only a guess and we can't be sure.

Thank you so much, Barend!

Something rapport? Huisarts?
Barend van Zadelhoff Sep 12, 2022:
'hartritme' (HR) does not make sense to me, contextually.

Thank you so much, Barend!

Thank you so much! Ruchira, that is an excellent insight - I am extremely grateful.
Also Michael, thank you.
Ruchira - the "pr dg" in the last line : I have taken it to mean that the Pt will call in... after visiting the lab to provide a blood sample (by finger prick)?
Barend van Zadelhoff Sep 12, 2022:
'prikken lab' = bloed afnemen voor laboratoriumonderzoek

My guess: de patiënt belt zelf op de dag dat er bloed bij hem/haar is afgenomen voor laboratoriumonderzoek.
Ruchira Raychaudhuri Sep 12, 2022:
@Sharon Yes, at first sight, I also think its about the patient calling the day after the blood test (prikken) but the abbreviation for patient is usually 'pt'. So maybe it's a typo..not sure.
Barend van Zadelhoff Sep 12, 2022:
The grammar suggests:

Labformulier gemaakt en HR (gemaakt).

If we assume HR is a Dutch acronym, then heart rate (HR) does not apply.

Michael Beijer Sep 12, 2022:
not my field but I think HR might refer to "hazard ratio" here
Ruchira Raychaudhuri Sep 12, 2022:
hartslag, hartritme, hartfrequentie HR is usually used as an abbreviation for 'hartslag'. If the person writing the text is the GP, he might use this abbreviation to indicate that the heart rate has been measured/recorded.
In the context of hypothyroidism, heat rate is a relevant factor.
