Age is actually stored as a value in  [[TMSX and MedTMS]] rather than calculated when needed.  Patient data is sent from the [[Laptop Setup | Laptop]] and is [[PDA Uploader | uploaded]] to the master [[TMSX | Critical Care]] or [[MedTMS | Medicine]] database. Calculation of age is done by the PDA uploader during appending (uploading) of sent data to master database.
