GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Medical - Mathematics & Statistics / clinical study
Italian term or phrase: restituire
This is a study examining the costs of a treating patients with a certain illness.

DRG codes - diagnosis-related group codes.

How would we say "restituire" in this context? Simply "returned"?

"Analizzando i codici DRG ottenuti dall’ incrocio diagnosi/interventi nel 16% dei casi il database ha restituito il codice XXX con valore medio pari a xxx €."

Please forgive me if this seems straightforward, but statistics is an area I struggle with. TIA!

returned
Explanation:
Yes, returned would be fine as a direct translation of that word, although there may be better solutions to get the feel of the whole sentence right.

What i mean is that "returned" is fine when taking about the results of a database search.
