ADPKD= autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease
This is a back translation so I need to understand this correctly. Thanks!

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

How would you preferentially describe ...
I would say.
Although case series are subject to patient selection bias and case reports preferentially describe positive outcomes,19 they often provide preliminary evidence for efficacy of new treatments.

They preferentially describe difficulty with heavy physical work, heavy lifting, running, or physical exercise.

"better" if you like but in this context I would go with "best"

: Isn't a back translation for the client to see the adequacy of translation, so that an awkward phrase should be rendered by an awkward phrase rather than by what "we say"?

A medical Q might be "Stadium", "ADPKD", or "Nierenfunktion", but not this.
