Grammar usage guide and real-world examplesUSAGE SUMMARY
The phrase "subsequent above" is not correct and does not convey a clear meaning in written English.
It seems to attempt to refer to something mentioned earlier in the text, but the combination of "subsequent" and "above" is awkward and unclear. Example: "The subsequent above information is crucial for understanding the context." (This would be better phrased differently.)

Ludwig's WRAP-UP

While the intention may be to link a temporal sequence with a prior reference, the phrasing is awkward and should be avoided in favor of more standard expressions like "subsequent to the above" or "following the aforementioned". Its rare occurrence and the availability of clearer alternatives make it a poor choice for effective communication, especially in formal or scientific writing. Based on the analysis, it's best to opt for alternative phrasing to ensure clarity and grammatical correctness.
