OPUS Ny Kontinuation
and also:
Kontinuation nr. 26.
The latter is obviously referring to page progression.
Can one simply use "continuation" here, or is there some other technically relevant term in this context.

Comment: "Thank you, Meirs and the others who replied. I have selected your answer because I think it best fits what I read on the rest of the page. I think it is in fact a follow-up on a clinical test for medical items. There are other notes referring to page numbers, fax page numbers, etc. A real jumble, if you ask me, with handwritten notes as well."

supplement
I agree that follow-up might apply, but that implies possibly more than is meant here. There is some small degree of difference between the 3 possible choices: continuation, follow-up, supplement. I think more context would be helpful

Continued ... (at the bottom of the page)
On many medical records I translate the one at the bottom of the page as ´continued´ and check that the ´page x of y´ is correct.
With the document in my hand, I can see that this is simply the usual, to make sure that all pages are present and in the right order.
I suspect that the ´Continuation nr. 26´ is simply a way of starting a new section.
Is it the first entry by a new consultant, or some kind of new ´chapter´ in the course of treatment?
Could it mean something like ´Continued from page 25´ ?
I think I have seen it used this way.

Note from asker:
| Thank you Christine for your time and comments. I have chosen Meirs' answer since I actually used it. Your arguments fit very well with other paging notes, but this "continuation" seems to be something more. Best, Bill |
