ABVD acronym

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general)
Can anybody help me identify this acronym? Here is the context:

Antecedentes e historia previa:

It shows up on a medical report at the time of discharge.

Thanks!

Hi Michael,
Don't know if you're aware of this website...excellent for Spanish medical acronyms: http://www.tremedica.org/glosarios/siglas/
You'll find AVBD there (as Andrés suggested: actividades básicas de la vida diaria)

Andrés Martínez May 28, 2013:
Independiente para LAS Actividades básicas... El paciente se puede valer por sí mismo en las actividades básicas de cuidado personal: aseo, alimentación, etc.

Es uno de los puntos básicos de la anamnesis.

@Michael In this context, 'Independiente para ABVD' seems to refer to a job, i.e. ABVD as the employer.
