Thread: What does CIE stand for in Spanish?

Hi all!!

I have this acronym, CIE, in a Spanish medical form and I'm not sure what it stands for.

Could it be "Clasificación Internacional de Enfermedades"?

If so, what would its equivalent in English be?

Thanks so much for your help!

HI Agustina,
For CIE, here are the options:

Comisión Internacional de Estratigrafía
Clasificación Internacional de Enfermedades
Corporación Interamericana de Entretenimiento
Corpus inscriptionum etruscarum
Comité de Inversiones Extranjeras
Centro de Internamiento de Extranjeros

If it's a medical form it is probably Clasificación Internacional de EnfermedadesIts English translation wouldbe ICD:
WHO | International Classification of Diseases

Thank you so much for your help, nabylm!

I'm also having trouble with another acronym "PRE". It immediately follows CIE in the checkbox list. Any ideas?

Apparently it would mean Pancreatorafía Retrógrada Endoscópica:

...​But I am not sure it goes with the context you shared.
Does it help?

In the end it was an internal reference code from the hospital.

Thanks again nabylm!

I expected it to be actually
