Italian term

malattia cronica ed evolutiva

Italian to English Medical Medical: Health Care Palliative care
context:

Le cure palliative si rivolgono ai pazienti terminali affetti da ogni malattia cronica ed
evalutiva, in primo luogo malattie oncologiche nonchè neurologiche, respiratorie e
cardiologiche. La fase terminale è quella condizione non piu reversibile con le cure tradizionali.

Lo scopo delle cure palliative è il raggiungimento della miglior qualità di vita possibile per i pazienti e le loro famiglie, in presenza di una malattia cronica evolutiva che non risponde più a terapie causali, volte ad eliminare la malattia. Pertanto non sono esclusivamente legate agli ultimi giorni di vita né di esclusiva competenza oncologica, ma si rivolgono anche a tutte le malattie cronico evolutive, siano esse neurologiche, cardiologiche, infettive ( per esempio sclerosi laterale amiotrofica, scompenso cardiaco cronico, HIV... ).

The WHO definition http://www.who.int/dsa/justpub/cpl.htm doesn't seem to make reference of "malattia cronica ed evolutiva"

Does evolutiva refer to the formative years of a child in this case also?

WHO’s definition of palliative care appropriate for children and their families is as follows; the principles apply to other paediatric chronic disorders (WHO; 1998):
