German term

gebietsweise

German to English Medical Medical (general)
From a lab report:

Knochenmark-Beurteilung:

Gesamtmark:
Zellgehalt: 3
gebietsweise: 4
Fettmarkanteil:
Blutbeimeng.:

Proerythroblasten und basophile Erythroblasten: 3 gbw. 3-4

Any thoughts as to the most concise translation of gebietsweise? Clearly "gbw." is the abbreviation. so I'm trying to think of the shortest thing to put here too.

Thanks!

Thank you everyone! Sometimes you just read too deeply into things and convince yourself there's a more technical term...
Anne Schulz Nov 6, 2020:
@Hannah There is nothing medical to "gebietsweise" here. Just use whatever you would use for the general expressions "gebietsweise" or "stellenweise" (partly, in some regions, locally, in places,...).

locally?

... would work here well IMO, and is clearly shorter than "in some regions" or "some spots with...".

by area

as in area by area, but not sure how this would make sense in the context. in other words why would the result differ depending on whether you are looking at it area by area or as a whole. Could also be by region or region by region.
Peer comment(s):

disagree Harald Moelzer (medical-translator) : no, the meaning here is "in some areas" not "assorted by (defined) areas"

in certain areas

That's how I would phrase it.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Harald Moelzer (medical-translator) : "certain" sounds like "defined", which would not be the case here
