Still translating a very long text on diabetes, and I would appreciate some help with this query. Here is the context:

This is a section about EPINE (ESTUDIO DE PREVALENCIA DE LAS INFECCIONES NOSOCOMIALES EN ESPAÑA).

* Es un corte anual de prevalencia
* Amplia cobertura territorial
* Amplia participación (+250 hospitales)
* Se desarrolla una vez al año (Mayo)
* Incluye sólo hospitales de agudos de más de 100 camas

it's a yearly census of prevalence


Explanation:
In most medical statistical reports, data is usually presented as the evaluated items increase (or diminish ) in prevalence in the studied universe. Thus, EPINE, is a study of the prevalence of nosocomial (hospitals) infections in Spain. Conditions for inclusion in the study are described therein.

neutral  Muriel Vasconcellos: As I understand it, the calculation of prevalence is based on case reports already on file, whereas a "census" would be proactive, seeking out cases to enumerate.

it is an annual prevalence rate/figure


Explanation:
In a public health context, 'prevalence' is usually a ratio representing an annual "snapshot" of the number of cases "on the books" (diagnosed and being followed) during a particular year relative to the population at risk, but the period can also be shorter or longer than a year, so the emphasis here is on the time period being considered.

It is not a 'census' - prevalence is calculated based on reports already on file, whereas a census is proactive and seeks out cases to enumerate.

Here's one definition of 'prevalence':
(epidemiology) the ratio (for a given time period) of the number of occurrences of a disease or event to the number of units at risk in the population
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Period prevalence


'Prevelance', in its technical meaning, is an annual figure (an annual "snapshot" of the number of cases on record at a certain point in a given year),

Sorry, I left out this option:
annual cross-sectional survey of prevalence (or with 'study')

"It's an annual cross-sectional survey of prevalence" probably fits best, though it could also be "It's an annual cross-sectional prevalence study/survey".

This specifically refers to EPINE and nosocomial infections. Note that the phrase "cross-sectional study" is used:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8498695
Nosocomial infections in pediatric patients: a prevalence study in Spanish hospitals. EPINE Working Group.
METHODS: In 1990, a nationwide cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the prevalence of nosocomial infection and associated risk factors.

Looking at this again, I now propose (changing the order a bit):

It's a cross-sectional study/survey of annual prevalence
It’s a cross-sectional annual prevalence study/survey

Given the phrasing that follows - "se desarrolla una vez al año (Mayo)”,”Incluye sólo hospitales de agudos...”, I think you need the reference to a study or survey.

And you might want to say “it was” instead of “it is” - depending on when your text was written – since the EPINE project seems to be over.

--------------------------------------------------

The reason I suggest a change in my previous word order is this:
"la realización de estudios nacionales de prevalencia anual" (see ref above)
(studies plural, "prevalencia anual" hangs together, with annual modifying prevalence, not studies)
Sorry this is so long.

neutral  Muriel Vasconcellos: Though the EPINE project apparently does conduct a survey, I don't think that's what the text is saying here. My interpretation is that the author is emphasizing that it's an annual figure, since prevalence can be a period of any length.
13 hrs
  -> In the context of “se desarrolla una vez al año (Mayo)”,”Incluye sólo hospitales de agudos...”, I think it refers to a study or survey. A rate or figure couldn't be carried out once a year. Good point that "annual" should modify "prevalence".
agree  Ana Gerda: In this context, corte refers to estudio de corte, which is a cross-sectional study.

Looking at the style of the list presented in the PDF (p3), I would use "snapshot" for "corte".

If Phil posts "snapshot", I will give him my agree !
