This value is now derived from ICD10 diagnoses, see [[Change for Apache Chronic to ICD10 from separate variable]] for details.

== Implementation ==
== Implementation ==
* Chronic Health is stored as a single-choice dropdown in [[CCMDB.mdb]]
* Chronic Health is stored as a single-choice dropdown in [[CCMDB.accdb]] and [[Centralized_data.accdb]]
* when sent for import into [[TMSX]] the chronic health score is translated into ''yes'' or ''no''
* There is an additional option "0HasChronic"; this can not be selected in [[CCMDB.accdb]] but is used in [[Centralized_data.accdb]] for old records that were imported from [[TMSX and MedTMS]] where the detailed data was not collected
 
== ICD10  ==
We are moving to derive this concept from [[APACHE Comorbidities in ICD10 codes]].
 
=== Change log ===
* 2022-02-17 - decided to stop collecting this and apply [[Change for Apache Chronic to ICD10 from separate variable]]
* 2022-02-09 - Julie, Tina and Allan discussed Julie's most recent analysis of this; there are still many differences in dx vs chronic, with higher and lower counts for different components. Allan quotes a paper that acknowledges this difference in count, but that the Apache ''score'' ends up similar. Question raised: is the saving of time in no longer collecting this as a field worth the loss of accuracy.
* 2021-04-22 - preliminary analysis of how deriving this from ICD10 would compare with previous manual collection; many differences; Tina emailed Allan and Julie, more to come
* 2021-04-19 - Added ''Drug-induced immunosuppression'' since that component of this code was not previously collected comprehensively
* 2021-03-11 - The list of drugs is at [[Template:List of immunosuppressive drugs]].
* 2021-02-22 - AG sent email to Julie and Tina to get back to this change.
* 2018-11-28 - AG confirmed that this is an option
 
== Legacy ==
* when sent for import into [[TMSX and MedTMS]] the chronic health score was translated into ''yes'' or ''no''; when we moved to [[Centralized_data.accdb]] these were imported as "0HasChronic"
* the fields were made into a pick list of 9 items that belong to one of the five APACHE II Chronic Health categories because Medicine wanted to use both [[APACHE II]] and [[SAPS II]] on Medicine patients. [[SAPS II]] and [[APACHE II]] scored these same chronic health items differently. SAPS is no longer collected.
