English translation:examinations/tests (carried out) on admission
Explanation:
You seem to be talking about inpatient treatment so the above would be a possibility, with "Eingang" being identical to "stationäre Aufnahme" = admission of the patient - cf. http://www.proz.com/kudoz/1496550

That said, the author of your text might have used "Befundung" rather in the sense of "Befund/Befunde", which is why "findings/diagnoses on admission" would be more appropriate in THAT case. More context required.

agree  Armorel Young: agree with all of that - perhaps one could say something like "condition on admission", which skates over the question of what tests were carried out to establish that condition

  -> True, that'd be an elegant way out if no further context exists :-)
agree  Helen Shiner: I like Armorel's suggestion, and find your analysis very helpful.

Explanation:
...is the term I am familiar with


Patients whose follow-up CT studies revealed new intracranial lesions or worsening, compared with **admission findings**, were considered to have delayed cerebral injury.

This study compared the **admission findings** in 89 stab victims with the subsequent severity of their injury.
