English term or phrase: números entre paréntesis que no entiendo
"Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in childhood is associated with a poor prognosis *********(1-6)*******; approximately 50% of patients in whom the diagnosis is established between the ages of 1 and 14 years die suddenly within 9 years of diagnosis *********(1,3,5,6)*********."

No tengo ni idea de lo que indican, no son porcentajes, no pueden indicar secuencias (de uno a seis). Probablemente se dejan igual al traducirlos, pero quisiera saber qué carga de filosofía tienen.
Muchas gracias.

If yours is a translation test, you have only a small piece of the text; I would let the numbers as they are.

pudieran ser referencias


Explanation:
Muchas veces, los número que corresponden a las referencias del estudio/ensayo los ponen entre paréntesis en vez de ponerlos como exponentes. ¿Será éste el caso?

Fíjate que en estos dos ejemplos, aparecen justo al final de las oraciones.

números entre paréntesis que no entiendo
dejar los números sin modificaciones


Explanation:
En la cardiomiopatía hipertrófica (CMH) los estudios que se realizan para comprobar y controlar la enfermedad son el electrocardiograma, el ecocardiograma y la ventriculografía radionúclida. Los números demuestran el nivel de la enfermedad, después de haber sido estudiada.
No se modifican ya que son parámetros universales en el mundo de la medicina.
