In Brazil, 'comprehensive check' is frequently used in automotive, medical, and employment contexts. The term reflects a growing influence of English in professional Portuguese, especially in tech and business sectors. In healthcare, 'check-up completo' is commonly used alongside the Portuguese 'verificação abrangente.' In Portugal, the preference leans toward more traditional Portuguese terminology like 'inspeção pormenorizada.'
