Spanish term (edited):
NC = no clasificada (en otra parte)
Selected
n.e.c. = not elsewhere classified
Referring to the ICD coding of diagnoses (although the following "T93" does no fit with hypercholesterinemia at all)

The CIAP has a "no clasificado" extension as well ("no clasificado bajo otros conceptos"), which would be called "not elsewhere classified" in the English ICPC – but based on the sparse context I wouldn't go so far as to say that this is the most likely meaning (neither with CIE nor with CIAP). It is just a possibility for you to consider.

Note from asker:
| Thank you very much! The report actually uses the ICPC-2 system, under which T93 stands for lipid disorder. Would this change your answer or do you think n.e.c. is the most likely meaning? |

This is a classic case then of the more context the better
Note from asker:
| The issue with this is that the patient has been regularly taking atorvastatin for several years, since before coming to this hospital, and the report says that this treatment is ongoing and has not been changed by them. If the medication were not adequately controlling the condition, they would presumably have altered the treatment. |
